Lion meat?
I’ve eaten a lot of different critters, but never Lion meat. Is it any good?
I understand that it requires a spotted-owl demi-glaze to really bring out the best of the flavor. :=)
I spent a lot of time in Africa back in the 80s and of all the restaurants I’d eaten or dinners in my colleagues’ houses, I never once saw it on any menu or had it offered to me. I would imagine the males would be better eating, since the females work their butts off catching chow for The King of Beasts.
Not African lion, but I have had mountain lion a couple of times. Surprisingly, it was a rather mild white meat, similar to pork chops or loin.
A local church has an annual wild game feed. (had to miss it this year) The meats mainly supplied by a state game warden, and a state depredation trapper, who are friends of the associate pastor.
Also included are fish & fowl. There is also a lecture & Q&A afterward on game management & hunting/trapping.
Elk, venison, bison, antelope, rabbit, raccoon, duck, grouse, mountain lion, rattlesnake, wild turkey, and pheasant are always on the menu. So are trout, bass, various sunfish, catfish, paddlefish, and snapping turtle. Sometimes, out of state stuff is included, as available, such as alligator.
