Were you there?
Heh... funny.
In truth what I have read about them they were not tasty at all.
“their alternate Dutch name was “walghvogel”, used in the journal of Vice Admiral Wybrand van Warwijck, who visited Mauritius during the Second Dutch Expedition to Indonesia in 1598. He explained the meaning of the name as follows: “... finding in this place great quantity of foules twice as bigge as swans, which they call Walghstocks or Wallowbirdes being very good meat. But finding an abundance of pigeons & popinnayes [parrots], they disdained any more to eat those great foules calling them Wallowbirds, that is to say lothsome or fulsome birdes.”
The “loathsome”—the “disgusting,” the “nauseating” bird—does not sound like “very good meat” and has led to some writers to claim that the birds were only eaten by necessity, and were just plain nasty. But van Warwijk goes on to explain the Dodo was called this “...for the reason that the longer and oftener they were cooked [i.e., “wallowed in the pot”], the less soft and more insipid eating they became. Nevertheless their belly and breast were of a pleasant flavour and easily masticated.” Sir Thomas Herbert in 1634 said “It is reputed more for wonder than for food, greasie [robust] stomackes may seeke after them, but to the delicate they are offensive and of no nourishment.” The one recipe I could find for cooking Dodo suggests it be done with mangoes, fruit native to Mauritius, so it would “taste like something.”*
