Well, we could eat just an arm, couldn’t we? Or maybe just a leg, but not both at the same time.

And, of course, no matter how well the torso was prepared, we couldn’t eat the heart. Because, lawyer, and so no heart there.
 
Well if cold blood is a requirement, dead dragons aren’t warm-blooded. 😉
Though if seafood has to be cold-blooded, mermaids are out. You see mermaids have a human torso, warm-blooded. And contrary to popular belief, they are not half fish. They are half dolphin. For one, if you drew an x-axis through a mermaid from mouth to tail, a y-axis from stomach to back, and a z-axis across the ribs, their tail moves along the y-axis whereas a fish’s tail moves along the z-axis. In other words, the flat of their tail is at a 90° angle from where it should be if mermaids were half-fish. And as dolphins are warm-blooded as are humans, mermaids are warm-blooded. As for the scales, I theorize they have extremely dry skin that flakes even in water, hence why they can’t survive on land.
(I’m not ashamed to say I actually did research on this. It was part of a discussion involving reverse mermaids.)
Here’s a drawing of a reverse mermaid

There’s a thread claiming Turtle soup makes a good Friday meal so…
 
Turtles are amphibian, so yes, they would make good Friday food.

Be sure to allow plenty of time to cook them, though, as they definitely are not “fast food.”

Maybe with a slow cooker?
 
Tape up the holes and they make a great self contained pressure cooker.
 
Hey guys,

This thread is a real treat! After all of the “M” word threads we’ve been inundated with, I’ve really enjoyed myself! Oh by the way, ask Andrew Zimmern from Bizarre Foods for suggestions. If anyone would know what to eat for Lent, he would. But, then again, he’s Jewish.

Well, I hope you’ve found this particular foodie thread to have been … tastefully done.
 
Well, … yeah … if you’re going to be PICKY! I mean, if beavers can be amphibians and therefor safe to eat, then turtles can be amphibian!
 
That beaver argument, it’s pretty damming.

Though I suppose that opens up a question. Of beaver are, as your arguments put forth, amphibians, presumably due to their aquatic residence, does that mean I can keep a cow standing in water for a year and then slaughter it for Friday meat because it transformed into an amphibian under my guidance?
 
Outstanding. Since they’re imaginary, I can easily have four or five and still maintain the fast.

It is a well known fact of evolution that if you keep a cow standing in water for a year it will turn into a whale or a hippopotamus. Thus, it remains a mammal in both cases.

What is not so well known is that if you tickle their hind legs they will undergo the transformation in as little as two hours.

This is similar to the change that occurs in grasshoppers when they transform from ‘solitary’ to ‘gregarious’ swarming locusts as a result of the effect of serotonin release in the nervous system. The tickling seems to trigger this.

A brain chemical changes locusts from harmless grasshoppers to swarming pests

Scientists have uncovered the underlying biological reason why locusts form migrating swarms. Their findings, reported in today's edition of Science, could be

See. There is a purpose to the never ending evolution thread (s).
 
Well, in case you missed it earlier, grasshoppers and locust are available for consumption on Fridays in Lent.
 
What about pixies? Fair game for Fridays? They look human-ish, but some argue that they’re actually more similar to insects.

We were thinking about a nice stew, but need some guidance.

I’d like to put in a request for a unicorn steak,medium rare …and if you don’t mind keep the tail to use as a fly swat 😺
