I hereby authorize the culling/hunting, it is sad, but it is a dangerous species to both humans and the local ecosystems. If they can make burgers out of it, even better… Hmm… checking… oh!
What Does Hippopotamus Taste Like?
Does Hippo Meat Taste Good?
People have been eating hippo meat for centuries. Most people that try this meat claim that it is similar to beef, but it has a mildly sweet flavor.
The texture on the other hand is a little tough. As such, you might need to marinate your hippo meat before you cook or smoke it.
But, what makes hippo meat truly unique when you compare it to other meat is the high-fat content and marbling.
Hippo meat easily has three times more unsaturated fat than beef. This adds a delightful oiliness or butteriness to your overall meat flavor.
I now really want to travel to Colombia.
