[@VroooomVroooom-kk6wk]

Dry aged Khezu steak with bits of Girthy garlic and Kirin cheese melted on top. Shogun Ceanataur would be my second choice cause c'mon it's a crab. (Khezu Steak, Kirin cheese and Girthy garlic are actual canon items in Monster Hunter.)

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Barroth tail is canonically a delicacy in the MH universe. It deserves to be in SO TASTY! tier

[@WreckitRai]

Omg I never thought of making some Kirin cheese like that. Also I think Khezu would be good with all of his fattiness being melted down as you cook him.

[@connor8919]

⁠​⁠in rise it’s stated that anjanath tails are a local delicacy. But the world description states that it’s stiff, so it might need to be prepared in a special way.

[@WreckitRai]

If only we could actually EAT that local delicacy in Rise, instead of just the desserts ;-;

[@Lyn-wn9vy]

fatalis can apparently regenerate from a single scale so it’s said that hunters donning its armor go missing and a new fatalis pops up somewhere… i can’t imagine eating it would yield a very different result honestly.

[@OtakuJuanma2]

Fatalis is a very special case IMO. A LOT of the "lore" of Fatalis is that it's the boogyman of the MH world (not the game, THE world), so much of what it can do is embelished, and the single scale regeneration is probably that. Sounds a lot like a tale someone would tell to explain why these few hunters died. They couldn't have possibly died on the line of work, they killed Fatalis after all, they must have disappeared mysteriously.

[@RespiteAhead]

Barroth being put in S tier gave me the biggest whiplash LMAO

[@WreckitRai]

You're right. Maybe I should have made an SS tier just for him 😂

[@lisabeavis8598]

Counter argument for both side: Barroth eats mostly bugs, so I would think that would make his flesh taste sour. But on the other hand, his thick shell and constant wallowing in mud would make him super juicy.

[@WreckitRai]

Two very fair points right there. I can get behind that :3

[@glacialblast2588]

​@@Giggles_iJestwhy are you looking at the comments discussing the placements of the tier list then

[@chriscaseyg9362]

Fatalis meat would be a death sentence, its regeneration is the cause of all the rumors. The armor "heals shut" around you, it's less the hunter becomes one and more the hunter becomes material to rebuild from. Weapons are the only safe way to make use of fatalis bits, as there's nothing for its cells to recognize as damage per se, except perhaps a loss in sharpness. Whether fatalis goes in you or on you, you'll die weird because of it, I feel.

[@Kenshin-lw2dj]

In you???

[@chriscaseyg9362]

@@Kenshin-lw2dj If it's bits regenerate enough to "heal" armor plates together around you slowly consuming you, I doubt it will be much phased by human gastric juices. A vulture might be able to overpower its regen to digest it, but our stomach acid is very weak. We didn't develop from obligate scavengers which usually have the strongest stomach acid. Maybe if you pickle it or render it to nothing, like maybe using its collagen for a broth might be close to safe, but I still wouldn't risk it.

Eating Vaal hazak you be eating a zombie that would be covered in dirt

[@WreckitRai]

I feel like it would turn you in to a freakin' zombie, too.

[@Heide.struggler]

Eating Vaal is cancer speedrun

[@TragikDino]

To be fair I refuse to believe you’re eating the rotting meat that Vaal covers itself in. It’s not even part of the body so why are you eating it? It also gets energy and nutrients from the bacteria in the vale which it absorbs, or inhales, I’m not sure (I’m not even gonna try to spell it) either way you’d definitely need to clean the meat actually from Vaal extensively but you should be doing that with most meat anyway (granted you might need more cleaning than average for Vaal meat)

[@astrohibious2954]

I think silver and golden rath would be disgusting since the shell has a lot of metals in it since the shell obsorbed the minerals in the air to form the metal like shell

[@WreckitRai]

It would be okay if the metallic taste was exclusive to the shell, but I bet that stuff has seeped into the meat already and thus ruined the entire thing rip

Kirin seems to have been confirmed as at least mostly herbivorous. Most other Elders from what I recall are either carnivorous or eat ores.

@@deathclawproductions6723 Fair, though I feel there are only a handful of reasons I'd eat the majestic thunder boi. Firstly to not let any of it go to waste if I just hunted it, but I'd butcher it respectfully and not use it for anything as basic as a burger. Saffron-braised Kirin Shank would be amazing, I'd bet.

Deviljho would taste like if rutting elk meat and pickle had a messed up love child on your plate. I feel any of the monsters that rely on hormonal defense states like Jho and Odogaron would be beyond gamey.

[@chriscaseyg9362]

The paralytic venom of the Girros would not be in the blood, if the meat is tainted that's on the butcher who shouldn't be one anymore. That being said, it's essentially a bottom feeder of its environment for the most part, I'd imagine it'd taste like a cross of snake and catfish, so a slightly earthy tender flavor with a kinda gator-esque to chicken dark meat mouth feel. Could be good, but I'd definitely recommend pairing it with citrus to cut the earthy element.

[@AedanTheGrey]

Assuming you can get some thats effluvium free

[@TragikDino]

To be fair basically everything in the Vaal is a bottom feeder. Rado eats bones and meat, Girros eats the fallen meat as well, while Odo is quick on the draw to drag a legiana corpse to its lair to keep away from dense effluvium layers it will eat the less fresh carrion fall like everyone else. Vaal while it isn’t eating the decaying meat it does eat, or absorb, or inhale, or whatever it does to consume the effluvium itself.

[@TragikDino]

@@AedanTheGrey you can reduce the effluvium with fire, so cooking it should work. But maybe you should cook it a little longer than other cuts animals of similar size just in case

[@nus577]

Final fantasy 15 behemoth tenderloin are a thing. Usually smoked or stewed. And since this is from a collaboration between the two games, I'm assuming they taste the same.

[@rattled6732]

Honestly with most of these the fact that you are eating like a giant dangerous monster would itself make it better

[@KalidasaOW]

Idk if I'm just fat minded but I feel like a lot were possibly overlooked due to their outward appearance (aside form the poison & paralysis bc those I 10000% agree) because if you think about it, the armor is on the outside to protect them from other creatures & their environment but the inside where the meat is doesn't have like the spikes or tar etc unless it has seeped into the skin :3 After chopping so many tails I feel like most things are fine to be cooked and I would 100% eat the rolly polly LMAO

[@WreckitRai]

That's the point I was tryna argue about with the Barroth XD Like, you ain't gonna just run up and bite into the monster raw! So I was trying to consider their diet more than anything (hence why Diablos looks so yummy to me, but Kulve's gold-eating ass can get the heck away from me lmao) But there's no telling how metallic some of the metal monsters are, and that taste is a hard no-no from me :P

[@WreckitRai]

Though the comment about Radobaan tasting like squashed bugs made me lol, even if the actual meat would be mostly bug-free aside from the poor few that probably accidentally fly into his mouth from time to time.

Love the idea of this video. But right at the start, I am a little sad. You don't seem to know that carnivore meat always has a strong, gamey taste. We don't eat many large carnivores for many reasons. The taste is one for sure. I think anja would taste tough like, "Well done, steak but with a liver (liver tastes like dog food) taste. The nose would be a delicacy. Gummy and probably served in a soup.

Oh man I'm gonna overthink the shit outta this

[@WreckitRai]

What are your first impressions? XD

[@jamesducharme1711]

I don't know very much about the leshen, but all I'm seeing is wood and bone; sounds useless at a glance, however, there are a few culinary uses for wood off the top of my head: some people will leave cuts of oak in bottles of whiskey, which purportedly enhances the flavour and tames the burning sensation of the alcohol. I'd bet you could also use its ribcage as the body of a barrel of some sort, and maybe there's sap under that bark...

[@jamesducharme1711]

I definitely wonder about the anjanath, as a rule of thumb, carnivore meat is apparently typically pretty shitty: you have to consider that it's far more prone to being diseased, infected, and being host to parasites, and that's before considering that its especially lean meat isn't as nutrient-dense as the meat from a herbivore or omnivore. However, supposedly, reptile meat is different; an anjanath's leg is like the size of a cow, and the cross-section of the tail looks promising enough. Not only that but some reptiles are delicacies in some places, right? So my take is, if it doesn't get you deathly sick---which if probably will---it might not be so bad. That liver is 100000% off limits though, instant obliteration of your liver via otherworldly levels of hypervitaminosis

[@jamesducharme1711]

The raths are even higher on the food chain than anja, and there's just about no worthwhile meat on those bones; that's without even considering whatever's going on with rathian, I'd rather not eat meat from a venomous super-predator. The meat in the tail looked less like fat and more like tendon, Idunno if I'd call that marbling
