Lion meat has a flavor that is similar to beef, but more gamey and robust. Its texture is similar to veal or pork, with a slightly firmer consistency than either. It also has an underlying sweetness like other wild game meats, making it ideal for use in soups, stews, and stir-fries. Lion meat is usually served as steaks, cutlets, or cubes. It can also be made into sausages and jerky. Despite its gamey taste, lion meat can still be enjoyed by those who are not particularly fond of the flavors of wild game meats.
