i started watching dungeon meshi ((a fantasy anime about a party going into a magic dungeon to kill a red dragon that ate the MC's sister and along the way they hunt, cook, and eat the monsters they encounter)) and my mind started to wander (*°▽°*) (*°▽°*) ... i mean,, just think about it— NO PLEASE wHY ARE YOU RUNNING- COME BACK I JUST WANNA TALK YASDASUGFUIAUGFIUDS

okay, look. no,, nO,,, SIT BACK DOWN JUST HEAR ME OUT. now that i look at pictures of the kraang after getting a good amount of sleep, it may be a little hard to cut up the meat and the flesh might be too firm to eat and enjoy properly when it comes to Kraang Prime and his siblings;; BUT. how about the kraang dogs we see in the movie?

in theory. the flesh looks smooth and though it's a little concerning how their eyes and mouth glow ((might be poisonous? maybe the food poisoning will go away if the meat is boiled, but i'm not sure. i did a little digging and you can cook and eat venomous snakes safely;; as long as you avoid being bitten, and you can eat the head too if you don't have any cuts or open wounds in your mouth and throat. (you'll risk the venom entering your bloodstream if you do))) i'm unsure if i can label kraang dogs as bioluminescent since they're not marine or deep sea animals ((since they're on land and the dryness of the landscape suggests there's water scarcity))

we know food is scarce and most likely hard to come by since casey junior says pizza is better than rats, having to resort to eating rodents and whatever they can find to survive;; it wouldn't be a stretch to say AT LEAST one person attempted to eat a kraang dog in the twenty years the apocalypse raged on. it might be really difficult because of how huge they are ((i mean, look at them; they're bigger than FUTURE LEO.))

i rewatched the first few minutes of the movie to see how leonardo's sword cuts through the flesh of the creatures that jump at him after he throws casey through the portal,, but instead of hearing the slice of a blade through presumably soft flesh, i heard a 'clang' which means the skin is either reinforced at some degree to sound that loud and metal-y or leo slashed his sword so hard the air resistance did something or whatever— but then again, the sound wouldn't be that loud-

i think i'm actually tweaking. okay anyway,, my first thought when i watched the scene, i thought their skin was as tough as metal armor due to the sound it made and how fast it went off screen and instead of it being sliced like i thought it did, it was just smacked away so we wouldn't be able to eat a kraang dog;; but after rewatching the exact moment it happened about three times at 0.25x speed, the head DOES actually get cut off and sliced CLEAN which means blades and knives can be used to kill and cut them open!!!

it might just be the lighting and effects, but going off how their eyes and mouths glow,, i'm assuming the entire insides of their body glow and depending on whether or not they stop glowing when the main body or living tissue dies, the meat could possibly be used as a lantern or something. it might make it difficult to distinguish the guts and digestive organs from the muscles and general meat, but a starving person is desperate and i am nothing but STUBBORN!!!!!!!! (`ー´) (`ー´) (`ー´)

i did question if maybe they don't have organs and muscles and stuff like that,, but animals this big do have to have digestive organs and brains and stuff like that to function, right? maybe they're mind-controlled masses of flesh, but if that were true,, then they wouldn't be able to die and they'd just keep putting themselves back together to keep attacking even if beheaded or injured enough to die!! AND KRAANG PRIME OR HIS SIBLINGS WOULD HAVE TO BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO CONTROL THEM!!!! since leonardo beheads the kraang dog and its body falls away, motionless without jumping back up, it proves they have to have some sort of a brain attached to their body to live, and, in turn, THEY HAVE ORGANS!!!

meaning we can eat them. MUEHEHEHEHEHE

since there's no official posts ((to my knowledge)) saying they're dangerous to eat and going off humans being able to eat venomous snakes and scorpions and other creatures like that without dying, we can assume KRAANG DOGS ARE EDIBLE!!!!!

which opens up doors to many meals and ways to cook the meat, like roasting over an open fire, seasoning and adding to a soup,, grilling;; it all depends on the flavor profile of kraang meat and the seasonings available, ((which, seasonings might be easy to find in abandoned grocery stores and shops since in a long ongoing apocalypse,, people will be looking for canned stuff and things easy to eat on the go, not everyone will have time to sit down and cook a meal— but then also some people might be seasoning their rats and rodents??? i'm not sure about this one.)) but i'm sure if cooked right, it could taste good. ... i hope, i dunno.

will it be nutritious though? .. mmaybeee???? if we assume kraang dogs eat humans and yokai, then a meal with kraang dog meat might be good for protein and calcium ((if kraang dogs eat the bones too)) and iron and stuff from corpses of other people, as long as you can ignore indirect cannibalism.

maybe the meat might be a little dry, but assuming again that the effects we see from leo cutting off the kraang's head is kraang blood,, the meat might be juicy enough with glowy blood to sizzle over a pan or something. if there's sauce available ((that hasn't gone bad)) and the kraang meat is dry, it can be like. moisturized or something idk how to cook. this is all dependant on if the meat tastes good and gives enough energy to a yokai or human body,, maybe it gives a lot of energy due to the glowy-ness of it??? i tried to see if you can make ANY meat taste good just by cooking it correctly, but all i got was how to make steaks and cheap meat taste better and cooking tips.

... no, i'm not hungry,, i don't know what you mean. (ノ*°▽°*)
