Lion, The Other White Meat

These Are Some Of The Incredible Tacos Found At Taco Fusion

    Are you into eating adventurous dishes?  Have you ever had fried alligator or a juicy buffalo burger?  What about snails in a creamy butter and parsley sauce or a tender kangaroo steak?  These are interesting, but have you ever imagined trying lion for diner?  Taco Fusion, a gourmet restaurant in the Tampa Bay area, has been marketing succulent lion meat tacos on their menu.  These unique tacos have been highly controversial because of the status of these majestic creatures.  They are officially rated as vulnerable by the W.W.F (World Wild Fund), which is one step away from being endangered.  This has pushed groups like P.E.T.A (People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals) into boycotting this cutting edge establishment.  Now to their defense, they have been purchasing the lion meat from U.S.D.A approved sources and not from the illegal bush meat trade, which has plagued Africa for years.  Thus, these animals have been raised in the states for the sole purpose of consumption.

     Regretfully, Taco Fusion has announced this week that they will stop selling these unique tacos.  Before you jump to any conclusions about their reasoning for this decision, its not due to pressures from animal rights activists but as a direct result of the fact that they have sold through their supply.  Even at $35 a plate, they have been unable to keep up with the demand for them. Taco Fusion, has announce to their detractors that if they did not like the idea of lion tacos, then "they haven't seen anything yet!"  They plan to keep pushing the envelope as usual.  So the next time that you are in the Tampa Bay area, and in the mood for something truly different then swing by Taco Fusion for their latest fare.
