In my book, dinosaurs roam around, and the locals call them Dragons. These Dragons are more or less the same as Earth's dinosaurs were long ago, except for a few minor details. Some of them are tamed and bred to be small and docile. Some of them are wild and grow to be properly gigantic. Some of them have magical abilities like fire-breath and stuff, but most of them are regular and non magical.
Since there's a lot of dino-dragons roaming arround, it makes sense that some people might eat them. Problem is, how do you even begin to guess what a dinosaur tastes like?
Would they taste like other kinds of reptiles? I ate fried alligator once, and it was sort of chewy and tasted like fish. But alligators eat fish, so did it only taste like fish because of it's diet? What would a plant-eater like a triceratops taste like then? Or what about a scavenger/predator like a t-rex? It eats rotting flesh all the time, so would it taste bad?
Any theories?
