You've probably read that scientist discovered an entire frozen mammoth in Siberia. The scientist were struck by the freshness of smells when the mammoth's ice-coffin had been chipped away.
I propose discrete portions of the mammoth be removed and sold as specialty steaks to the highest bidders. The
money raised could go to an endangered species project. (There are secret societies that pay a lot to eat endangered species - the rarity makes it a power trip I suppose.)
McMammoth: Only a half dozen served.

Subject of a Wired magazine article from a few months back, if I recall correctly. Or was it Discover? |
|
| |
I wonder if potatoes were bigger back then? |
|
| |
Naaaah, only a matter of time before someone sequences the DNA and breeds more Mammoths, and the scarcity value will vanish .... there will be Mammothburger joints on every street corner. |
|
| |
Half Baked - we've done this before (specifically, myself, amongst others). Not there any more as it's also Baked. |
|
| |
Shouldn't that be Half-Grilled? |
|
| |
I thought this was going to be of the "Like a burger, but bigger" strain. |
|
| |
Wasn't this half-baked on The Flintstones? |
|
| |
I thought those were ribs. |
|
| |
The Flintstones had Brontoburgers. You can have them too. (link) |
|
| |
Dinogetti and mammoth meat balls, Mmmm. |
|
| |
Eh... reconstituted freeze-dried wooly mammoth jerky is NOT my idea of grub. |
|
| |
Bet it tastes just like chicken anyway. |
|
| |
Um, didn't they already do this? If memory serves, there was some ordeal in the 20's where some rich snobs had a $100/plate dinner with some excavated mammoth as the main course. And didn't most of them die shortly thereafter? |
|
| |
[absterge] No, the mammoths were all quite dead by then. :) |
|
| |
There's a project in Japan to clone mammoths. |
|
| |
Mammoth burgers are probably what they are going to do with the 'failures'. |
