Lion meat has been a niche food in America for the past few years, with one bar in Arizona offering lion burgers during the World Cup.

Do you think Cecil tastes any good?

I don’t know about lion meat but they served it (mountain lion) in Happy Camp, CA during WWII according to my parents. I’ve eaten or attempted to eat bear leg roast. It required a cold chisel and single jack to cut.

As of 1997, elephant populations in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe were deemed healthy enough to allow regulated hunts and the export of pachyderm products, like meat, which some say tastes of elk or moose.

Do elephants go well with cheese??

This is about one thing. People that grew up on Disney cartoons think they are real.

According to what I just heard; Cecil was about 17 years old, probably tough, stringy and gamey.
Wouldn’t want to chow down on him.

Lions are "vulnerable" but hardly about to go extinct.

The whole Cecil thing is entirely manufactured.

I always thought the rule of thumb is don't eat predators or carrion feeders; eat animals that eat fruits or plants. The meat of the animal takes on the flavors of what it eats, and an animal that eats dead animals is going to taste like rotten flesh.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to eat carnivorous mammals, most of whom are scavengers.
