Flayra inspired me (<a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=55411&st=30' target='_blank'>Information Overload</a>) to pose this question:

What alien, if cooked, would provide the juiciest meat?

I would say the gorge. If we cut away all the fat, I feel it'd taste like chicken, but better.

Or lean skulk meat... hmm...

    Bring your welder with you to cook it.

    I prefer when the gorge is gestating in egg, not only do u get all the juicy tender meat, u get a nice thick outer layer of bacterium!

    A Gorge would have to be the Juiciest.

    Gorge would be the juciest; like bacon and ham.
    I think the Fade would sort of be our flanksteak/filet mignon.
    Onos, definitely beef.
    Lerk might not work as chicken since it's so small... I'm inclined to say that Lerk would be a delicacy. (frog legs)
    And skulk? I wouldn't really want to eat skulk, I can imagine the meat would be very tough.

    lol, But i think sum fade claw kalbi would be more traditional for us koreans =)

    That and the fact that it could possibly explode in mid-meal.

    Maybe marines eating cultured defense chambers as part of a well-balanced breakfast might make their skin tougher.

    No man, any cook would remove those organs before cooking. Remember, it's specific organs that cause the explosion, and just like you don't eat certain parts of crabs, you don't eat certain parts of skulks.

    But I agree, skulks would taste nasty. Stringy, tough meat... and of course, the meat from ANY carnivore is NASTY. Which means I don't think Onos would taste good either. Only Gorges and Fades don't have a bite attack, so one could conjecture that they aren't meat eatters... though if fades aren't carnivores, it's hard to imagine what they would be, so that leaves just the gorge.

    By the way, carnivores taste nasty due to energy use and storage. Initial energy, more or less, stems from the sun, which is used directly by plants. Herbavores eat plants, and store a portion of that energy in their flesh. Carnivores eat herbavores, and store a portion of that energy in their flesh, but the stored energy by this point isn't very plentiful, and it's not worth it to try eatting them, esspecially as carnivores can usually fight back better than herbavores. So it's been designed into the system that carnivores taste crappy.

    Onos and skulk is ALL bone. Just that the onos has some flesh, and alot of stomach acid.

    I'll stick with the Offence Chamber.

    But the skulk isn't a carnivore.

    The manual says that the teeth was made to just rip flesh and cause bleeding. Not for acual eating.

    Lerk hot wings all the way - you could get them regular, spicy, umbraed, spored, or BBQ. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    How about when the alien is gestating.... wonder what tha tastes like? Of course lots of people compare everything to chicken so that's the safest bet.

    You guys have it all wrong!

    The Best tasting meal is:
    TSA a'la King

    Ingreedients
    1 - TSA Marine after being digested.
    2lb - Onos horn
    3sp - Ground Lerk spike
    2 - Gorge retractable mouths
    4 - Fade hearts
    1lb - Skulk eyes
    2cans - furaii soup

    Cut the Human into chunks, and put in a bowl, add in the chopped Onos Horn and Ground Lerk Spike. In another bowl Mix together the Gorge Mouths diced finely, crushed Skulk eyes and the 4 fade hearts. Pre heat a pot and pour in the Feraii soup, the add the first bowl of mix, allow to cook for 5 mins before adding the 2nd bowl and continue to cook until the smell makes you throwup!

    Servers 6 to 8 Skulks

    Res towers are where it's at. Not only do they have a creamy filling, they're soaked with nutrients to make marines strong and healthy! We can't have undernourished marines running about, can we?

    have you ever taken <i>any</i> sort of biology class? teeth made for ripping flesh designate carnivore nature..

    is anybody here a chef or a biology student? well i, being both, must clarify that:

    -most of you are probably correct about the gorge being fatty and make good bacon if it tasted right.

    -but all the other animals (besides lerk) would have tremendously dense musculature and generally be very stringy.. ever had a free-range chicken whose muscles were too dense? multiply that by a million. that's why we don't eat the racehorses' hind legs. or tires.

    -the lerk, on the other hand, probably doesn't have much real meat at all. flight requires very light structure. it'd be like a cornish game hen.

    -those of you who suggested cannibalism probably aren't far off. cannibals like to eat humans, so we must taste alright.


    but.. you're thinking inside the box, guys!

    me, i'd eat a grunt! i've worked up a big grunty thirst ^_^;
