I would eat hippo if the relevant authorities (I am not suicidal) declate it safe to eat. I have eaten crocodile, alligator, cangaroo, ostrich, and some insects (don't remember which ones), to no ill effects. Why would I not eat hippo?
I would, I'm actively searching for a way to get some hippo right now. As a south African as long as their is not a law against it their should be a way
Horrible sponsor, I love you're videos but please don't get money from big tobacco, an industry built to get kids addicted so they ruin their health for their (now shorter) lives.
As a South African who's had it before, I can confirm hippo is delicious. edit: for anyone curious I would describe the meat as a unique blend of rich deep beefy flavours with an top note similar to lamb and a twist of pork, it's not very gamey but does taste oddly familiar to many other "normal" meats. It's definitely good but my favourites are still Kudu and Wildebeest.
Well, hippos are herbivores* (*technically all herbivores can be omnivorous if forced, I.e. due to extreme hunger and opportunity or dodgy livestock management such as sheep being fed cow brains). Anyhow, point is that herbivores are generally tastier and less gamey but other factors such as environment also figure. E.g. river carp, crayfish and other bottom feeders need to be "filtered" for a day or so to lessen the muddiness. So, I imagine the hippos earmarked for the table would be fed a specialised diet and kept in clean conditions (I.e. No mud!) for a few days or more depending...probably more seeing as "fat carries flavour" and hippos carry quite a bit of blubber!
Apparently their meat is a delicacy in parts of Africa, but consumption is minimal these days due to their endangered status. It's described as less gamey than lamb, so should fit the American palate.
@@jeschinstad ...Less gamey than carnivores (generally speaking as reptiles such as snakes, crocodiles and the like are actually quite mild tasting...somewhat "chicken"-like). You make a good point re. deer meat though I imagine which might be due to diet in comparison to domesticated livestock such as swine and cattle. That said, "roo" (kangaroo) meat isn't overly gamey when properly cooked (i.e.: quickly) and it's a wild product as they can't really be domesticated. Buffalo (or Asian water buffalo here in Australia) is more flavoursome than farmed cattle, ditto for wild hogs (an invasive species) though not particularly gamey per se...just in need of longer cooking similar to mutton (i.e. mature lamb) and goat which IMO is the gamiest of all the aforementioned on par with venison.
There is an 'alternative history' novel by Sarah Gailey about what would have happened if the hippo plan would have been adopted: River of Teeth (2017)
Awesome video! I am 69 years old and have lived my whole life in Southern California. And this is the 1st time I ever heard that America ever considered farming hippos to ease the meat shortage. You learn something new every day! Thanks for sharing!
A topic that has been mentioned in the comments is Columbia and the paralelles between the 2 and the potential outcome that could have been reached, I want to dive deeper into that real quick so if you want the crash course then read on otherwise look it up, super fascinating.This comment will be super long as it is so I'll be sticking to the basics. Long story short Pablo Escabar the largest "retailer" of "powered sugar" was briefly one of the wealthiest humans on the planet and purchased an island in columbia he turned into his own personal oasis that had many luxuries but importantly to this included a personal zoo, that zoo of which had 4 hippos he had imported from Africa as juveniles. Pablo gets arrested, his compound becomes abandoned and they move to extract the animals from the zoo, one once small but now very large problem are the hippos had reached full maturity and hippos are massive creatures, they are also one of the most aggressive and territorial creatures on earth and fiercly strong with very thick skin becoming damn near impossible to remove so the problem is ignored hoping they'd die off from natural causes.... well they didn't, the tropics of columbia provided the perfect environment for them to thrive and also breed which became a problem quickly as they are omnivorous and were destroying multiple species of both plants and animals and have no natural predators growing from 4 hippos to over 100. The problem was thought to be contained though so left alone until water supplies were beginning to affect crops due to a bacteria that is found in hippo poop and poisoning the water table. This is still a rampant problem and due to both ethical and legal concerns there is not an immediate solution in sight. I believe the hippo agriculture could have been a good short-term solution but similarly to columbia we'd have run into ecological issues that could have become a massive problem and probably for the best we did not go this rout, not that our current path has been much better, adaptive farming should be the norm not factory farming.
I was literally getting ready to mention this! I'm going to write a more detailed analysis in my own comment but I'm so happy somebody else knows about this!
Colombian here: The USA declared Hippos as non-human people. So we can't legally hunt them for food. So the government is trying to sterilize them so they eventually go extinct. Not that it helps a lot. So yeah. Not very good
@@mynameisandong I really dont care about the AI but i do understand were people come from. Btw you look very healthy and lean congrats. Junge du siehst gut aus 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Considering the absolute bad temper of the hippo and how dangerous it is... this is hilarious. Oh my it would have failed so bad lol I still want to know what it tastes like. And now I want someone to make beautiful art of the invasive flowers with hippos peeking through.
There's an animal native to Norway called lemmings. They are very small, but they breed extremely quickly and can thrive in currently unused lands. There's no interest in them because everyone knows that they don't taste good. However, in my research I have not been able to find anyone who has claimed to ever eat one, except one person who survived on eating dead lemmings he found. Rotting meat often doesn't taste good. But I'm still interested, because even if we didn't want to eat them, they could be an extremely sustainable meat source for pigs. But what if they are delicious? There are enormous lands in northern Canada where I think they could thrive. A million tons of highly sustainable meat from unused lands could be a game changer. I think it's important to think about these things. But it is also very fun. :)
This was an awesome video, Andong!👏 The concept of replacing beef with hippos is wild, but you break it down in such a compelling way. Your insight and humor really make complex topics fun to watch. Can’t wait to see more of your unique takes on these bizarre theories!

Weird how so many people are protesting this AI thumbnail I didn't even see when so many other channels use exclusively AI art and no one bats an eye. Anyway, thanks for the interesting history lesson. It's funny how I'm hearing it from a foreigner having been born and raising in the US. History class would have been so much easier if they actually taught the interesting parts.
NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT Continental rip, which is what occurs during pole shifts rather than continental drift, occurs down the length of the Atlantic Ocean. Prior to the rip, there is tension and consequent dragging down of the coast line on either side. The East Coast of the US south of the New England area will suffer during the pole shift, due not only to the heavy population of the area but also to this general stretching that the plates under the Atlantic during the crustal tension ahead of the shift, with the crust resisting a ripping apart so that the land on the edges of the Atlantic Ocean are pulled down. This is most intense the closer one gets to the equator, so that the southern states along the Eastern Seaboard of the US will go under water to a surprising degree, bouncing back when the rip occurs. The closer one gets to the Arctic, the less tension there is, due to the position of these point relative to the bulk of the land masses on these plates, which center south. This will bring the islands in the British Isles underwater, and along the southeastern US too for an astonishing drop in level beyond what the inhabitant think possible. The New England states will find themselves bouncing up during the shift, due to the quick ripping of the already separating St. Lawrence Seaway prior to the shift, where the southern states will find themselves pulled under the water prior to the shift. The entire peninsula from central Pennsylvania north, will experience a bounce, but being on the edge of this drama, Pennsylvania will have its toes in water but its head above water. Where tidal waves elsewhere will in general have the potential of rolling a hundred miles inland to a height of 200 feet or more within that buffer zone, for the East Coast south of the New England area, this must be calculated to be up to 500 miles inland where flat land or tidal bore has facilitated water flow. The land will drop in sea level, during the shift, 150 feet. The water will rise steadily, not in a tidal wave, so that it will take many by surprise. This tension, and dragging down, will not be relieved until the shift itself, so where land might eventually be above water, prior to the sift it will be under water. Thus, the majority of the populace not well into the Appalachian mountains will drown. The West Coast of the US in general will suffer an onslaught of changes during the Pole Shift, and those living there need to consider not only each and every onslaught, but the combined effect. First, because the Pacific will shorten and subducting plates will be forced under the coastal plate suddenly and forcefully, heating of the superstrata will occur to an astonishing degree. The rock will actually melt in low lying places. Thus, valleys over subducting plates are out. Then the tidal waves will assault and where the coastline does not offer an outlet for the water, it will climb up as it has nowhere else to go. Thus, hills and mountain ranges close to the coast are out. Then there are the high winds, or hurricane force, which will occur world wide. So a safe spot must include being out of the valleys but also out of the wind. Then due to the earthquakes, which will be severe on the significant fault lines that crisscross the West Coast of the US, mountain building will occur which can result in the collapse of caves, even in granite, and renting apart of rock. Yosemite stands as an example of what can happen. And lastly, forest fires caused by exploding volcanoes, sparks, and lightning storms or perhaps the firestorms that can occur anywhere during the shift, will eliminate the forests as a shelter. After the pole shift, the West Coast volcanoes will find the prevailing westerlies blowing ash out over the Pacific, not directly along the West Coast. In the new geography maps, Alaska will be on the Equator, with N America tilted upward toward the new N Pole at the Bulge of Brazil. The new Trade Winds will push some of this ash back against what had been the West Coast of N America, but the prevailing wind direction will be out over the Pacific. However the Nevada area will not be downwind from West Coast volcanoes in the Aftertime. Those close to and just downwind from these active West Coast volcanoes will of course find themselves loaded with ash, and should take all precautions. Volcanic activity is expected to be active, and creating a lot of ash, for some 25 years on average after the pole shift. However, this will be a diminishing issue, with the skies gradually clearing during this 25 year period.
There would be a lot of challenges to overcome. I suspect it would have ended with screaming and yelling, bankruptcies, finger pointing, and a lot of aggressive hippos left that would have to be dealt with one way or another. Not that I'm any fan of factory farms, but that's a problem no matter what type of critter you're talking about.
Oh, definitely. Seeing as how Escobar's hippo's thrive in Colombia at the moment, to the chagrin of Colombian officials, I'm pretty sure that this would have been a failure, those hippos would have escaped, or even more likely, let loose by bankrupt hippo ranchers, and invaded the Mississippi river far beyond the delta. And these aren't friendly animals, while any animal can be dangerous, they are legitimately more dangerous than crocodiles. They don't hunt, but they will kill if they are in a foul mood.
AI thumbnail and AI "art" in the video? not a fan of that move, Andong. I get it's faster and easier but it's not very good for your fellow creatives. Edit: the actual story was good, for what it's worth. i'd give a thumbs up if it weren't for the use of AI.
Thanks for changing the Thumbnail. Felt a little weird to have a video encouraging ecologically responsible farming to have a thumbnail made by an engine that is incredibly bad for the environment.
The lack of hippo cooking in this show is disappointing, one could even say - hippocrite 🤣 That said, in many places, they are a concervative species for a reason, their meats are known to actually be tasty
you might want to look up Escobars Cocain Hippos... Hippos would have been at least as problematic at our current path, just in different ways. I'd recommend the fat electricians video on that one.
Considering that the hippo is one of Africa's deadliest animals and they aren't domesticated. How are you gonna ranch them? A border collie with scuba gear and an airboat with a naval gun?
I felt that this AI thing going on in the comments was some sort of a joke on how your face was lighted oddly familiar to those images, apparently it was changed before I could see it 😅 I'm now curious tho
Can we not advertise vapes? An entire industry created to get kids addicted to nicotine since cigarettes had enough pushback? It's really really gross.
Hmmm, fishing as a death defying activity with hippos in the river😅😂🤣🤦♂️🤦🏿 And you can't straight line outrun them on land 😮 And i haven't enen gotten into the "power-farts" hippos are famous for😂
Would I eat hippo meat? Fuck yes! Now if you'd ditch the AI crap, that'd be great. AI "art" isn't art. And for anyone to suggest otherwise is like calling Taco Bell authentic Mexican food.
Screw it send the hippos in, the south will be savannah in a few years anyways Also people complaining about him apparently having an AI tuumbnail for all of two seconds--please stfu. 90 people all complaining about the same meaningless nonsensical thing is infinitely more annoying than an AI photo will ever be.

Weird how so many people are protesting this AI thumbnail I didn't even see when so many other channels use exclusively AI art and no one bats an eye. Anyway, thanks for the interesting history lesson. It's funny how I'm hearing it from a foreigner having been born and raising in the US. History class would have been so much easier if they actually taught the interesting parts.
I don't know what all this AI thumbnail fuss is about but the video is very interesting.
My man is wearing the HELL out of that jacket
Hippos aren't lake cows, they are river horses.
ad from an awful product with an AI slop thumbnail
please andong dont do this
Why could the hippos-in-Lousiana idea not be revived? Worse things are being tried, I tell you that.
Hippos in Colombia have been an ecological and safety nightmare
@@Thebluebridgetroll More reason to eat them buggers!
@@Thebluebridgetroll The whole of the US is an ecological and safety nightmare right now, TBH.
Amazing video, thanks Andong
NO SLEEP 'TILL HIPPO!
I'M THE FUCKING HIPPO GUY!
The video is extremly quiet compared to every other video on the platform. Would be great to have that fixed in the next one :)
NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT
Continental rip, which is what occurs during pole shifts rather than continental drift, occurs down the
length of the Atlantic Ocean. Prior to the rip, there is tension and consequent dragging down of the coast
line on either side. The East Coast of the US south of the New England area will suffer during the pole
shift, due not only to the heavy population of the area but also to this general stretching that the plates
under the Atlantic during the crustal tension ahead of the shift, with the crust resisting a ripping apart so
that the land on the edges of the Atlantic Ocean are pulled down. This is most intense the closer one gets to
the equator, so that the southern states along the Eastern Seaboard of the US will go under water to a
surprising degree, bouncing back when the rip occurs.
The closer one gets to the Arctic, the less tension there is, due to the position of these point relative to the
bulk of the land masses on these plates, which center south. This will bring the islands in the British Isles
underwater, and along the southeastern US too for an astonishing drop in level beyond what the inhabitant
think possible. The New England states will find themselves bouncing up during the shift, due to the quick
ripping of the already separating St. Lawrence Seaway prior to the shift, where the southern states will find
themselves pulled under the water prior to the shift. The entire peninsula from central Pennsylvania north,
will experience a bounce, but being on the edge of this drama, Pennsylvania will have its toes in water but
its head above water.
Where tidal waves elsewhere will in general have the potential of rolling a hundred miles inland to a height
of 200 feet or more within that buffer zone, for the East Coast south of the New England area, this must be
calculated to be up to 500 miles inland where flat land or tidal bore has facilitated water flow. The land will
drop in sea level, during the shift, 150 feet. The water will rise steadily, not in a tidal wave, so that it will
take many by surprise. This tension, and dragging down, will not be relieved until the shift itself, so where
land might eventually be above water, prior to the sift it will be under water. Thus, the majority of the
populace not well into the Appalachian mountains will drown.
The West Coast of the US in general will suffer an onslaught of changes during the Pole Shift, and those
living there need to consider not only each and every onslaught, but the combined effect. First, because the
Pacific will shorten and subducting plates will be forced under the coastal plate suddenly and forcefully,
heating of the superstrata will occur to an astonishing degree. The rock will actually melt in low lying
places. Thus, valleys over subducting plates are out. Then the tidal waves will assault and where the
coastline does not offer an outlet for the water, it will climb up as it has nowhere else to go. Thus, hills and
mountain ranges close to the coast are out. Then there are the high winds, or hurricane force, which will
occur world wide. So a safe spot must include being out of the valleys but also out of the wind. Then due to
the earthquakes, which will be severe on the significant fault lines that crisscross the West Coast of the US,
mountain building will occur which can result in the collapse of caves, even in granite, and renting apart of
rock. Yosemite stands as an example of what can happen. And lastly, forest fires caused by exploding
volcanoes, sparks, and lightning storms or perhaps the firestorms that can occur anywhere during the shift,
will eliminate the forests as a shelter.
After the pole shift, the West Coast volcanoes will find the prevailing westerlies blowing ash out over the
Pacific, not directly along the West Coast. In the new geography maps, Alaska will be on the Equator, with
N America tilted upward toward the new N Pole at the Bulge of Brazil. The new Trade Winds will push
some of this ash back against what had been the West Coast of N America, but the prevailing wind
direction will be out over the Pacific. However the Nevada area will not be downwind from West Coast
volcanoes in the Aftertime. Those close to and just downwind from these active West Coast volcanoes will
of course find themselves loaded with ash, and should take all precautions. Volcanic activity is expected to
be active, and creating a lot of ash, for some 25 years on average after the pole shift. However, this will be
a diminishing issue, with the skies gradually clearing during this 25 year period.
I love your food history videos! super interesting 😊
When I aw the title, I thought "Is it april already?".
The audio level seems kinda low in this video for some reason
My favorite Andong video in years!!
Hope we'll stop abusing animals one day no matter the species
The fact that I'm just hearing about this at 30 pisses me off. The public school systems have failed me on another point
They're designed to do that. Always have been.
You‘re a very good writer
I don't know how much water would be needed to sustain many hippos farms all over America...
I would totally try some Lake Cow Bacon
.
Thank you for changing the thumbnail.
How did Irwin know that hippo meat was tasty? How did he know?!
D:
Not Moo Daeng as part of the thumbnail!
Ngl I was expecting him to taste some hippo meat and tell us if it's good
What about Pablo Escobar's hippos?
Very interesting, is this what inspired the movie „Okja“? 🤔
The Dollop Podcast has a great episode on this
I'll take a double hippo burger with fries please
There would be a lot of challenges to overcome. I suspect it would have ended with screaming and yelling, bankruptcies, finger pointing, and a lot of aggressive hippos left that would have to be dealt with one way or another. Not that I'm any fan of factory farms, but that's a problem no matter what type of critter you're talking about.
Oh, definitely. Seeing as how Escobar's hippo's thrive in Colombia at the moment, to the chagrin of Colombian officials, I'm pretty sure that this would have been a failure, those hippos would have escaped, or even more likely, let loose by bankrupt hippo ranchers, and invaded the Mississippi river far beyond the delta. And these aren't friendly animals, while any animal can be dangerous, they are legitimately more dangerous than crocodiles. They don't hunt, but they will kill if they are in a foul mood.
Imagine corralling two-ton tanks whit half a meter long teeth XD
Good content, could easily have done without the AI slop though imho
nooooo moo deng 😭😭😭
Nothing Taste better then Beef period
The only real draw back i can see is the hippos brining some kind of desies into any environment unable to handle it
I wonder why didn't they test it with a limited scope experiment.
Just a tad bit disappointed, was expecting a hippo recipe :o
Awesome video!
AI thumbnail and AI "art" in the video? not a fan of that move, Andong.
I get it's faster and easier but it's not very good for your fellow creatives.
Edit: the actual story was good, for what it's worth. i'd give a thumbs up if it weren't for the use of AI.
Thanks for changing the Thumbnail. Felt a little weird to have a video encouraging ecologically responsible farming to have a thumbnail made by an engine that is incredibly bad for the environment.
No sleep til hippo!
The lack of hippo cooking in this show is disappointing, one could even say - hippocrite 🤣
That said, in many places, they are a concervative species for a reason, their meats are known to actually be tasty
you might want to look up Escobars Cocain Hippos... Hippos would have been at least as problematic at our current path, just in different ways. I'd recommend the fat electricians video on that one.
Hi Andong, why is the audio so quiet?
I assume their fat armor could be turned into fuel like we did with whales?
when your cattle weight the same as a car, super aggressive and territorial, and killed more people than lions you have a recipe for "fun" times.
Hippo ranching wouldn't have lasted long. Cattle are pretty docile. Hippos on the other hand...
Fascinating
!
Considering that the hippo is one of Africa's deadliest animals and they aren't domesticated. How are you gonna ranch them? A border collie with scuba gear and an airboat with a naval gun?
One problem. Hippos are evil. They can bite a nile croc in half
I dont know what is the objective of this video. But, i would really like to eat hippos now. ...
i really want lake cow bacon....
I felt that this AI thing going on in the comments was some sort of a joke on how your face was lighted oddly familiar to those images, apparently it was changed before I could see it 😅 I'm now curious tho
I would give a thumbs up, but AI thumbnail is a no-go, instant dislike
Ew why
Your limp attempt at AI contempt will go exactly nowhere.
Talk about performative activism
what do hippo meat taste like? Why aren't u making some hippo in this video?
because it's illegal in my country
We don't care about AI, братанчик, thank you for what you do! Carry on! Вперёд и с песней!
🫶
Can we not advertise vapes? An entire industry created to get kids addicted to nicotine since cigarettes had enough pushback? It's really really gross.
Hmmm, fishing as a death defying activity with hippos in the river😅😂🤣🤦♂️🤦🏿
And you can't straight line outrun them on land 😮
And i haven't enen gotten into the "power-farts" hippos are famous for😂
mmm, baby hippo steak 🤤
Would I eat hippo meat? Fuck yes!
Now if you'd ditch the AI crap, that'd be great. AI "art" isn't art. And for anyone to suggest otherwise is like calling Taco Bell authentic Mexican food.
Using AI in your thumbnails makes me think you probably used it to write the script too
Americans thought having meat on the diner table was unique to them? Unbelievable!
Screw it send the hippos in, the south will be savannah in a few years anyways
Also people complaining about him apparently having an AI tuumbnail for all of two seconds--please stfu. 90 people all complaining about the same meaningless nonsensical thing is infinitely more annoying than an AI photo will ever be.
