Oompaloompas.

Willy Wonka had to literally rescue them and protect them to keep them from being eaten because they're so delicious.

Noodleflys from Rain World. They obviously taste like noodles.

Is it better baked, or deep-fried? I'm going with breaded and deep-fried, because almost everything is better that way. Except grapes.

[–] fiendishplan@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Breaded and deep-fried like calamari but you get one big piece.

The animal at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe that wants to be eaten.

Thats a cow. Or at least that's what they called the genetically modified creatures.

Pulled Winnie the Pooh.

It's honey marinated and fat.

[–] justdaveisfine@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I believe one of the lines from the song is 'stuffed with fluff' so I don't know, could be a little fuzzy.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 10 points 1 day ago

This. Winnie the Pooh is canonically a teddy bear, presumably only alive by some sort of magic. Likewise, Kanga, Roo, Eeyore, Tigger and Piglet.

Rabbit and Owl, however, were real, living creatures - the true inhabitants of the wood - with related magic allowing them to interact.

So basically, yes, Pooh isn't edible.

Tauntaun, but it has to be served lukewarm.

[–] weaselsrippedmyflesh@lemmy.pt 2 points 10 hours ago

Underrated comment right here.

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But I thought they smelled bad on the outside?

[–] draco_aeneus@mander.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

So do goats, but they're plenty tasty.

[–] SpicyTaint@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Chocobos are just large chickens, so...

Mooshroom is the only one I can think of right know, I think their meat would taste like standard cow meat but embedded with mushroom flavor or something like that.

Oh! Also could SCP-999 taste good? It's like a blob of orange jello from what I recall. I wouldn't want to eat it but it would probably taste good.

So you know in the Monster Hunter games where you eat a big ol' feast before a hunt?

I don't know which monster they cook up, but whichever it is, is probably incredibly delicious.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

It's cooked by cats though, so you'll be picking fur out of your mouth every other bite.

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Skeever tail.

Waiter: Would you all like to see the menu? Or would you care to meet the main dish of the day?

Arthur: Meet?

Trillian: What is it?

Waiter: It's an Ameglian Major Cow. I'll bring him over.

Zaphod: Ok, we'll meet the meat. that's cool. [a large Pig-like creature is wheeled in on a trolley]

Dish of the Day: Bweeeh... [clears throat] Good evening, Madam and Gentlemen. I am the main Dish of the Day. May I interest you in parts of my body? [Arthur and Trillian go "Huh?"]

Ford: Oh, well.

Dish of the Day: Something off my shoulder, perhaps, brazed in a little White Wine sauce?

Arthur: Your shoulder?

Dish of the Day: Well, naturally mine, sir. Nobody else's is mine to offer. [clears throat] The, uh, rump is very good, sir. I have been exercising and eating plenty of grain so there's a lot of good meat there. [moos] Or a casserole of me, perhaps?

Trillian: You mean this animal actually wants us to eat it?

Ford: Me, I don't mean anything.

I bet that Golden Goose tastes fucking awesome.

I mean. Goose is delicious, so I bet the mythical goose is mythically delicious.

Are there any fairy tale ducks? I'd chow down on some fantastic duck too.

Have you eaten reptiles? Especially big ones? Gator is pretty much kinda fishy greasy chicken. I don't think dragon would be all that tasty. Like tough chicken. Though maybe it's more like emu and kinda beefy...

I've talked myself around to trying it.

Brisket of that fiery red bull thing in Last Unicorn. With BBQ sauce.
