 Well pie it with bacon mushroom and a white wine white sauce. Or curry the bugger.

 After christmas, this is exactly the experiment I am embarking upon. The wife will buy a chicken from a free range farm, and we'll see how it compares. My bet is it will be better, but not good enough to get me to enjoy chicken breast.
 

I would concur with that. Chicken is cheap protein. Expecting it to be more is nuts. All reptiles - and birds evolved from reptiles - 'tastes like chicken'.

I read that in terms of protein, breeding snakes is the Donald Trump of protein when it comes to price! A free business idea for this group could be to start a snake breeding farm and sell chicken:ish, protein at very good prices!
Then there's also insect protein. I do not know how it compared with snake protein.

Free range costs more and tastes a little better, but for the same money you could find a better bird to eat.

Duck should be possible to obtain here. I like duck!

The pie idea is good though!

Europe is full of ideas for making shit food taste better.
Porcini mushrooms (ceps) taste meatier than meat.

Amen!

Spices add some sort of interest as do herbs, and garlic.

However some foods are so shit that nothing works.

There is another method where you make the shit taste shittier, and thereby the shit cancels out resulting in a less shittier final result!
