    Over The Hedge: Smoked Pterodactyl
    https://www.gocomics.com/overthehedge/2022/12/03

    Somehow, I am thinking that smoked pterodactyl does not taste like
    chicken. Or turkey. Probably more like hawk or buzzard.

    I'd bet on it tasting like Goanna - and barbecued Goanna, on a stick -
    is pretty good!

    Cheers,

    Probably like Dinachicken (with a nod to Asimov).

    I think that story predates the modern understanding that birds
    _are_ dinosaurs.

    Pterosaurs, meanwhile, were not dinosaurs, although closely related.

    The struggle for hegemony between the synapsids (that includes us)
    and the diapsids (that includes the dinosaurs) has been going on
    for some time. First we had the upper hand. Then came the
    Permian-Triassic extinction and the diapsids ruled. The
    Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction put an end to that, and now it's us
    again.

    Meanwhile I'm told the cephalopods are getting uppity in the oceans.
    Which is why I bought some octopus today. Do your part, fight the
    tentacled menace, eat cephalopod today!
