To Think Animals Should Taste How They Look?

[Goldenbug]

Flamingos should taste of candyfloss.

Parrots should be like Tutti frutti ice cream. (When frozen of course).

Zebras should be liquorice or cream depending on which stripe you lick.

Badger - Mint humbug.

AIBU?

Zebras taste nice just as they are (especially in the slow cooker)

Badger (indeed most carnivore/omnivore meat) taste foul. Mint humbugs would be a massive improvement.

If it helps squirrel does taste/smell a little nutty.

Slugs taste of liquorice.

OP are you advocating eating them or just licking them?

How do you know they don't? Maybe WhiteCoyote just got a bad badger.

Really they should taste of blood and shit and veins and skin, until the salt is added.

Then WhiteCoyote should take their badger back to their badgermonger for a refund.

Squirrels really should taste nutty because of the nut eating. The red ones look a bit like they should taste like the inside of a Daim Dime bar.

Apparently, shrews are very bitter.

Goldenbug I am in Sweden and have a very industrious red squirrel nesting in my garden. We have called him 'red'. I shall enjoy watching him all the more knowing he tastes of diam bars.

I licked a cow once, expecting it to taste vaguely beefy. I was Very Pissed Off when it tasted like shit and fur and farmyards.

(In my defence, I was 6 and it had just licked me)

Slugs taste of liquorice*

I think you pick one, then get back to us after you finish throwing up

Lick

The bitterness of shrews is a case of smallest mammal syndrome.

Next time I’m deffo taking the badger back for a refund.

I remember grooming licking the cat when I was 5 or 6. Oddly he didn’t taste of ginger as his fur colour implied.

The flesh of pigs actually does taste of pork though.

I meant what should they taste of. Not what they do taste of. I don't want a light hearted thread to lead to complaints in the news about Mumsnet leading to an outbreak of animal licking.

Moles: Blackjack flavoured peaches?

I love this. You have a wonderful imagination OP.

Not sure it would work for all animals though, if you licked a goat for instance, I suspect it would just taste goaty.

The red ones look a bit like they should taste like the inside of a Daim Dime bar.

Cows (the brown and white ones) should taste like chocolate milkshake.

Adult male goats definitely goat. But cute & playful baby ones prob taste like sherbert.

Apparently its spelt shetbet.

Aggh@! Sherbet.

I have a very fluffy almost torty cat...she would taste of salted caramel chocolate!

Pale ginger cats will taste of butterscotch.

I'm with you on the parrot.

Tigers should taste of orange and liquorice.
Beige guinea pigs should taste like cream puffs.
And different shades of brown horses should taste like different coffees.

My cat's paws smell of digestive biscuits. I'd have to be paid a lot of hard cash (or be extremely drunk) to lick them to see what they tase of though.
