Follow up question, are there any meats that aren’t edible?
I’ve heard that you shouldn’t eat the livers of predators due to poisonous amounts of vitamin A that can be built up in them, but that’s strictly offal rather than meat.
Depends on your definition of edible I suppose. Puffer fish are lethal poisonous if not prepared properly, probably not the only animal like this, and all high level predators have bio-accumulation which renders their bodies generally unhealthy to eat in large quantities.
I was thinking more along the lines of palatable I suppose. Canada Goose is apparently nasty which is a shame considering how numerous they are nowadays.
The meat edible? Hope it doesn’t go to waste.
It is, and supposedly tastes like pork.
There had been a plan in the early 1900s to introduce them to the Louisiana swamps to be raised for meat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Hippo_bill
That seems pretty snarky for Wikipedia.
lake cow bacon.
Water horse ham
the leather is incredibly durable.
