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?

Bagpuss would also taste of marshmallow, the pink and white ones obviously (I know he's not strictly an animal but hope he can be allowed)

Sadly my chocolate labrador doesn’t taste at all truffley but she bloody should.
Her paws do smell biscuity though to make up for it!

Hedgehogs tangy? I'm thinking Branston pickle. Sharp and earthy with a touch of fallen fruit.

Chickens should taste how very old people often smell because their faces look elderly.

ToadOfSadness · 20/10/2018 18:54

@waxy1 Grin

Jack Russells should taste of popping candy.

donquixotedelamancha · 20/10/2018 19:05

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

What loony slow cooker Zebra? It goes dry and grainy. Very fast, on a griddle, with a little oil is the way.

Though you are right about Badger tasting crap.

donquixotedelamancha · 20/10/2018 19:07

Really they should taste of blood and shit

I think you are eating the wrong parts.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 20/10/2018 21:05

DSis ate crocodile (tastes as bad as it looks apparently , like a hookers' handbag) and venison (which tastes like Bambi )

Funny I should come across this thread, I've just baked biscuits in the shape of my cat and I've tried to match it to his personality! Sweet and buttery but with a hint of spice as he's ginger Grin

Polarbearflavour · 21/10/2018 00:05

subspace · 21/10/2018 00:12

Polar bears = Vanilla Ice cream
Penguins= Penguins the biscuits

MawkishTwaddle · 21/10/2018 05:01

Bumblebees should taste of honeycomb.
Siamese cats should taste of Thai crab cakes.
Butterflies should taste of that sweet rice paper that flying saucer sweets are made of, with a hint of Parma violets.

Yeahmum · 21/10/2018 05:24

Spiders would taste of brandy snaps and hippos taste of school rubbers.

Yeahmum · 21/10/2018 05:25
