Pulled Winnie the Pooh.

It's honey marinated and fat.

[–] justdaveisfine@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I believe one of the lines from the song is 'stuffed with fluff' so I don't know, could be a little fuzzy.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 11 points 1 month ago

This. Winnie the Pooh is canonically a teddy bear, presumably only alive by some sort of magic. Likewise, Kanga, Roo, Eeyore, Tigger and Piglet.

Rabbit and Owl, however, were real, living creatures - the true inhabitants of the wood - with related magic allowing them to interact.

So basically, yes, Pooh isn't edible.

Chocobos are just large chickens, so...

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (6 children)

you know you can just eat ostriches right? It was a meme in the 90s to open ostrich farms, they might have all closed by now though.

[–] CanadaPlus 4 points 1 month ago

I mean, there's at least one less since last year.

Tauntaun, but it has to be served lukewarm.

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But I thought they smelled bad on the outside?

[–] draco_aeneus@mander.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

So do goats, but they're plenty tasty.

Mooshroom is the only one I can think of right know, I think their meat would taste like standard cow meat but embedded with mushroom flavor or something like that.

Oh! Also could SCP-999 taste good? It's like a blob of orange jello from what I recall. I wouldn't want to eat it but it would probably taste good.

Waiter: Would you all like to see the menu? Or would you care to meet the main dish of the day?

Arthur: Meet?

Trillian: What is it?

Waiter: It's an Ameglian Major Cow. I'll bring him over.

Zaphod: Ok, we'll meet the meat. that's cool. [a large Pig-like creature is wheeled in on a trolley]

Dish of the Day: Bweeeh... [clears throat] Good evening, Madam and Gentlemen. I am the main Dish of the Day. May I interest you in parts of my body? [Arthur and Trillian go "Huh?"]

Ford: Oh, well.

Dish of the Day: Something off my shoulder, perhaps, brazed in a little White Wine sauce?

Arthur: Your shoulder?

Dish of the Day: Well, naturally mine, sir. Nobody else's is mine to offer. [clears throat] The, uh, rump is very good, sir. I have been exercising and eating plenty of grain so there's a lot of good meat there. [moos] Or a casserole of me, perhaps?

Trillian: You mean this animal actually wants us to eat it?

Ford: Me, I don't mean anything.

So you know in the Monster Hunter games where you eat a big ol' feast before a hunt?

I don't know which monster they cook up, but whichever it is, is probably incredibly delicious.

Have you eaten reptiles? Especially big ones? Gator is pretty much kinda fishy greasy chicken. I don't think dragon would be all that tasty. Like tough chicken. Though maybe it's more like emu and kinda beefy...

I've talked myself around to trying it.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I'm thinking it would be like a naturally smoked turkey.

Unicorn, that way I can live forever :o

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But you would only live a half-life, a cursed life. So in some amount of time, half of your particles would have decayed, and then half again after the same period, until you entirely decay.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

He would live almost forever. Zeno's Decayed Unicorn Eater.

Brisket of that fiery red bull thing in Last Unicorn. With BBQ sauce.

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 month ago

I bet that Golden Goose tastes fucking awesome.

I mean. Goose is delicious, so I bet the mythical goose is mythically delicious.

Are there any fairy tale ducks? I'd chow down on some fantastic duck too.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Beholder maybe? Its a floating meatball with eyes and a mouth, that doesn't touch the ground, bet its pretty tender

Oompaloompas.

Willy Wonka had to literally rescue them and protect them to keep them from being eaten because they're so delicious.

This is the correct answer. Even Pizza the Hutt seems to agree.
