No way would hippopotamus taste like chicken. What it does taste like, I have no idea!

How does the U.S. deal with Hippo poop or the waters in Africa? How does the poop get cleaned up?

Oh, I thought it said “hippies.”
There’s no cleaning up after THEM. Look at what they did to Max Yager’s place.

‘In the words of author and hunter Peter Hathaway Capstick, It is my personal opinion that hippo meat is one of the finest of game foods
The taste is mild, less than lamb and more than beef, slightly more marbled than usual venison. It tastes exactly like, well, hippo.’
To: robowombat
Just shoot them and be done with it. They are an invasive species and they die by the thousands in Africa during droughts. They are
Not Endangered. Seems a simple enough way to Deal with this
To: gnarledmaw
Someone will pay to eat them.

The one time I saw it for sale I didn't have the extra cash to buy it. It was a deep purple and looked like horse to me and do enjoy that. None of the pictures online look like what I saw though. The closest pictures Im seeing to what I saw then looked more similar to what you will find if you search for whale meat. When looking I found that hippos are now said to be related to whales so maybe there is a similarity there. That's supposed to be quite good too.
Maybe the people of Louisiana could revisit this for us?
Hippo Meat Nearly Became An American Food Staple
