If you could eat any species of zoo animal...
 

...what would you eat?

You may assume the following:

1. It's an animal that had to be humanely culled for some reason, so it's not being killed just to make a meal for you.

2. Any poisons or toxins are removed by an expert chef, so there's no risk to you. And the chef will make it as tasty as possible within the limits of reason for that species.

3. It's a one-time event for zoo publicity or charity or something, so the public is supportive of it. It'll give you a story to tell in future years that you ate a _______

4. You don't have to eat the entire animal. You're just getting one meal.

What's for dinner?

This thread was inspired by a comment I made in an unrelated thread, and I may have to keep the same answer.

Panda bear.

Having a panda meal would make for a great story. I would also consider orca. I don't think any zoos have a blue whale, but that would be neat, too.

As long as the British don't put in pastry. Penguin should be well marbled

A buffalo after it died from choking and a broken heart.

Snake, never had it but have heard its like chicken fried in fish grease... I can eat that

Baby shark because of the song.

My second choice would be a freshly clubbed baby seal.

Elephant. I'd first like to see a cave drawing recipe from prehistoric man just to do it right.

Had zebra a few years ago. Would not recommend.

Dolphin Steaks.

I'd like to devour a young chimpanzee. Gassed humanely of course.
