there have been multiple accounts of people trying to eat mammoth meat. an northern exploration party in the mid 1800s claims to have lived for several weeks on nothing but the meat of a few uncovered frozen woolys and there have even been stories of mammoth banquets taking place in Paris. however, in the last 40 years or so when mammoth excavation has become a scientific endeavor, it has been reported that the meat is most often found rotten or moldy. when it isnt, it still smells awful and a few brave souls who have tried it claim claim it tastes tough and dry with little flavor, like meat which has been left in the freezer too long.
