today's useless eater stupoid question comes from my lunch:
I caught a fish. I cooked it and ate it. The flesh was white.
I caught a bird. I cooked it and ate it. The flesh was light coloured, but not white. Light brown? Ecru?
I caught a game animal. I cooked it and ate it. The flesh was red to pink.
ignoring the fact that the only animal that I catch are insects, which I do not cook nor eat, why are the colours of edible meat so different?
I'm sure that there are cooks, butchers, hunters and fisherman that may easily tell one species from another just by the colour of the flesh. What causes that? Are animals chemically different from one another?
Yes, I know that DNA causes all kinds of differences in life forms. But the DNA itself has no colour. If I had God's 3D printer, would I need different chemicals in different amounts to make different species?
