If I was rich I would eat Lion Tacos, just because I can.
Who knows they might taste good. Lions are not endangered and how is eating them any different from a cow?
I know that "exotic" foods are common outside of the US, especially in Asian countries. The demand/appetite for some exotic foods contributes to the poaching pressures on some relatively rare wild animals.
Is this "exotic" food option, especially when it comes to mammals and more rare reptiles/fish, seen acceptable in the USA? What if this becomes a trend?
Well (!!!) ~ obviously not! It won't become a trend ~ not with people like me around, trust me.
Even though these are supposedly farm raised I think this is way over the top as a food offering. I'm a hunter and even I just cannot advocate serving African lion as an exotic food in US resturants.
I am not sure that that is an attractive option for dinner, however............
As the range for wild lions continues to decrease, certainly a profit motive for sustaining the species is not a bad idea............
Not too sure that offering exotic meats is the best way to contribute to sustainability. It seems to me like it would only encourage poaching/black market activity for the prized meat, and shady dealings involving passing off said meat as "farm-raised," etc. Could well have the reverse effect.

If that were available here I'd eat them. What makes it so disgusting?
I have a utmost distain for this type of exotic or whatever food.
I have had a life that brought be into close proximity with Africa Lions and one must remember they are a wild creature they can sometimes be somewhat a "pet".
But, to even consider farm raising or whatever an animal such as this to be eaten is sick.
AND, they are carnivors: meaning they eat meat and there flesh is not what I would what to eat, ever.
I feel for the poor "Cowboys", oops I mean "Lionboys" who have to round up and brand those dads !
