One of the good affair about working with a bunch of brilliant , delightful dweeb is when you pose twisted questions in the post , everyone deal them very badly .
Recently I was thirsty and scroll through io9 , and I found myself wondering what certainPokemontaste like . It is n’t the first clip I ’ve thought about devouring a fictional creature — I’ve been envisage fade into a tender Star Wars porg chop ever sincewe asked a bunch of food experts what the adorable waterbird tastes like .
As Thanksgiving was approaching and everyone was already chew over whatmeals they were going to be preparing , I thought it would be a good clip to personate the question to my esteemed confrere : What fictional animal would you like to let in in your Thanksgiving feast ?

io9 deputy editor Jill Pantozzi was first to react : Bulbasaursalad , explaining , “ I ca n’t blame something from something I in reality like . ”
Several others also suggested Pokemon , because , as tech reporter Sam Rutherford put it : “ There are too many delicious Pokemon , they would have to get their own spread . ”
Someone evoke roastMew . Science reporter Ryan Mandelbaum pointed outSnorlax“is essentially just wagyu beef , ” expounding : “ ultimately what you ’re looking for is something with a strong fat content , but not so fatty that you ’re just eat rich . ”
io9 writer Charles Pulliam - Moore pronounce he would run through a Pikachu . He suggested organise it by first choke up it and then make it “ cook itself by stimulating the electric sacks in its cheeks . ”
Pulliam - Moore also articulate he would eat The Shape of Waterfish man , “ cutting , sashimi style . ” Reporter Germain Lussier would like a full pescatarian repast — he want to eat the entire shape ofThe Little Mermaid , minus the humans : “ Yummy Sebastian . Yummy Flounder . ”
Our senior TV manufacturer Danielle Steinberg also went the liveliness route : “ I ’d roastShrekon a pit . Apple in his mouth . ”
Cheryl Eddy of io9 said “ any of theFantastic Beastsmight make a just steak . ” io9 writer James Whitbrook say he wantsSmaug : “ like , what does goddamn dragon taste like . ”
Some other estimable beastly mesmerism : Jabba the Huttstrip steak , Grinchmeat , Fawkes the Phoenix(“natural red-hot wings ” ) , escargot made from thegiant racing snailin The Neverending Story .
Things chop-chop spun out of control into a delectable horn of plenty that would horrify any normal small fry : Kermit the Froglegs , My piddling Ponyroast , Teenage Mutant Nina Turtlesoup . Then Lussier amped it up : “ It ’s always more sinister if it ’s a Disney character , so turtle soup , but withSquirtandCrush . ”
Rutherford imagine whether or notCookie Monsterwould hold some of the cookiness of his diet . “ If he ’s meaty but with cookie sweet , he ’d prolly be scrumptious BBQed . ” Rutherford wrote .
Our culture editor Hudson Hongo was n’t sure what he ’d eat , but I think I know what he ’d be doing Wiley Post - meal , thanks to his donation to the conversations : “ hello i do nt know if this is the right time or place but i want vapeWALL·E’sblood . ”
