Stimulating Dinner Conversation

The Beets like to entertain.  It's a fact of life.  Last week, Ray was cooking up 5 lbs of pot roast, so we decided to have some friends over.  Boxed wine was flowing, stirring up some rousing debate.  Eventually, we came back to one of life's most important questions - which dinosaur would you prefer to eat?

Now, the answers ran the gamut.  Bert said T. Rex, of course, 'cause he's a burly man.  The brontosaurus got 3 votes.  The theory behind this was that since they were herbivores, the meat would be nice and tender, like a grass-fed cow.  That's solid logic that you just can't argue with.  Another good answer was pterodactyl confit which would be tasty due to ample amounts of fat.  I'm a little grossed out, but still on board.  Triceratops and Stegosaurus rounded out the legitimate answers.  Of course our favorite train enthusiast had to throw a wrench in the conversation by saying she would like to eat dragon.  Which is just absurd.  Damn it.

The conclusion?  We need to buy a dinosaur and eat it, that's the only way to solve the discussion.

And yes, I did take notes during the debate.
