I'm still waiting for him to provide the math that it's impossible for all meats to taste like chicken (Which they don't BTW).

I suppose the OP has grown tired of submitting others' quotes to FSTDT and now wishes us to submit one of his. Cute.

This thread is about 2 seconds away from being shipped to ~E~.

If so, then whom? I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, however.
I'm not sure. IIRC, there used to be a list of banned members somewhere on this forum. I can't seem to find it anymore, if it even existed here in the first place.

As an explanation of why unusual meats would taste more like chicken than common alternatives such as beef or pork, different possibilities have been offered. One suggestion is that chicken has a bland taste because fat contributes more flavor than muscle (especially in the case of a lean cut such as a skinless chicken breast), making it a generic choice for comparison. Also, chicken reportedly has lower levels of glutamates that contribute to the "savory" aspect of taste sometimes known as umami; processing or tenderizing other meats would also lower glutamate levels and make them taste more like chicken.

And you don't see the irony in quoting this?

It's still there, IIRC. If drekoguk receives the banhammer for this, we may find our curiosity satisfied.

I'll send the maths to Dembski and he'll calculate a probability for me. But, I bet it will be ASTRONOMICAL!

Astronomical, I say! Look, we got the joke from the first post - there's no need to continue.

I found it. For some reason, I find the banned users thread infinitely more amusing than this one.

It's pretty amusing, certainly. A good number of "serially-banned user" issues.
