Platypus genome decoded: even wierder than they thought

[vaskidmark]

So OK, we have figured out what caliber for which part of the platypus, but an important question still remains - does it taste just like chicken?

With one part bird (which ought to taste like chicken as a given), one part reptille (which ought to taste like chicken 'cause snakes taste like chicken), and one part mammal (which probably ought to taste like someting other than chicken - say beef or venison - but it was first thought to be part beaver which tastes like nothing else, but the tail is quite good) there are 2:3 odds it does taste like chicken.

And if it does taste like chicken, do you just ram a can of beer up its butt and plonk it over the coals?  If not, how do you cook it?

I'm thinking 2 teeny breasts, 4 teeny drumsticks, and a lot of ribs.  Do you baste the ribs like pork?

stay safe.

I would think the beer can would go in the beak.

How about some scrambled platypus eggs ?

Maybe a good onion and cheese omelet. 

What about a platypus balut ??

This all depends whether is was recently involved in mating.  If so, cook it like a jerked chicken, but no other seasoning is necessary and I hope you like it hot!

Steak and eggs all from the same animal?

Platypus...it's what's for breakfast!

Help!  I've fallen and can't get up!

Seriously, I have not laghed so hard in - since I can't remember when.

I nominate the above for at least the Top 10, if not the All-Time Best smartass post.  Sir, I bow before you - you are truely degenerate and I for one am grateful.

stay safe.

If properly grilled, tastes a lot like spotted owl...
