I've actually eaten ostrich, it wasn't really like chicken. It was almost more like red meat in a weird way, really juicy. I had it at a chi chi poo poo restaurant and they put a big blop of foie gras on top of it, and it was sitting on top of some other kind of meat that was wrapped in pastry, and as I recall the whole thing was pleasant but odd.
If I try it again I think I'd like it in a McNuggets format, then I can really get a handle on what it's like. More in my life to compare it to.
When you say you always wanted to do "this," are you referring to riding an ostrich ... or been sat upon and probably choked as a form of bizarre torture? That sure doesn't look comfortable for the bird.
I've always wanted to ride an ostrich. I think the ostrich is a very strong bird & doesn't look like it's suffering to me. But hey, I'm no ornithologist. Let's ask the Ostrich Anti-defamation League president ;-)
I have always wanted to do this.
This combines all three of my top three fears: Birds, heights and high speeds.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks ostrich racers!
The only thing better would be if an ostrich could fly. Imagine what a ride that would be.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to stick my head in the ground, like an ostrich. That would be my greatest ambition.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, cube. That guy looks awfully heavy -- you think you could carry him?
ReplyDelete867-5309, I think an ostrich has more strength in its legs than a human does. I'm no ostrich!
ReplyDeletegf: just like doberman pinschers don't go around pinching other dogs, ostriches don't stick their heads in the ground, except in cartoons.
ReplyDeleteOoh, then you could play Joust for real!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to ride on a giraffe, that seems like it'd be really neat, although rather uncomfortable.
Well, what are you waiting for???
ReplyDeleteYeah, Jen, but this time don't forget your digital camera ;-)
ReplyDeleteTake a look at that drumstick though would ya...that's some tender vittles.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if ostrich tastes like chicken?

That makes sense. Meat is muscle & ostriches don't have a chicken lifestyle, so they'd have different tasting meat.

ReplyDeleteDidn't this take place once on the Benny Hill show?
ReplyDeleteIt may have. I remember the show being on, but I never watched it.
