Google is your friend :) from http://www.birdworld.co.uk/qanda.htm#40 Do Penguins taste nice? It may sound like a strange question but people do actually eat penguins. In Antarctica there are research stations where scientists live for months or even years so for them having a penguin for dinner is much like us having a Sunday roast. From their experiences we have been told that they taste like duck and that they also have a high oil content, due to all the fish that they eat. Guano miners also eat penguins whilst they are working near to Humboldt colonies; this however is bad news, as the Humboldt penguin is now a critically endangered species. Guano is old piles of penguin poo and it is mined for as it makes a good fertiliser, this practice is also detrimental to the wild Humboldt penguin population |

If you are really interested read about this British explorer, Ernest H. Shackleton 1874-1922. He and his men were stranded in the Antarctic for a while and lasted for a few months on penguin. From what he and his men said it left a lot to be desired, but considering the alternative it was "spot-on". |
That's why I really don't care for that Christmassy Coke commercial that has both penguins and polar bears in it. Imagine all the little kiddies (and adults) out there that now think they coexist together (in liberal harmony).  |
