to the dodo: Oh shut up & eat & Have a Happy Thanksgiving in spite of it all

Makes you Wonder how the pig feels about the Christmas ham.

By that reasoning, humans should scream 'cannibalism' when eating other mammalian foods, like beef and pork.

Oh wait. We already have groups who do that.

yes very awkward dinner

A dick in the right place will make him forget.

because some hungry sailors ate them as such, even though dodo meat was considered to be gamey, greasy, and just plain unpalitable.

After months of nothing but salt pork(1), hardtack(2), limes and grog(3), any food that can be described as 'fresh' would be pounced on by sailors. They would have eaten fresh monkey if they could catch them.

Notes:
1) Best described as 'a hard, dry abomination that looks like it might have once been meat, but it has been so overcured and overdried that it is now little more than vaguely pork-flavored salt.'

2) A biscuit made from flower and water, with all the water removed during the four to fifty times it is baked. Hardtack is estimated to last for about thirty million years without going bad(4). It makes a good substitute for lumber when patching holes, and in an extreme emergency, it could even me used as a substitute for food.

3) A drink made by using rum to conceal the taste of the stagnant barrel water. Also known as 'a drink so watered down the patrons would hang the bartender for serving it, then burn down the bar.'

4) Well, worse.

To be fair, it's mostly because they introduced pigs to the island, they didn't eat that many of them XD

hahaha! I needed a good laugh and you provided it. Thanks :P

"Don't worry, we tried Dodo one year, and it turned out terrible, so you're in the clear."

Fortunately parrots don't have enough meat on them.

Next year...you.
