Given that we've got many records of its culinary usages, maybe we could taste test it for dodoness?

  Are you making a serious comment, or does this pass for wit on such a topic? If serious, is that the sum of your contribution? To want to eat an animal that hasn't existed for hundreds of years?

    How preposterous! What buffoonery!

    If it's good enough for Charles Darwin...

    It was a joke about the gastronomic focus of the great majority of Europeans who met dodo in person. I recommend this book[0] for you, the edited diaries of an explorer of the rugged wilderness of South Westland in New Zealand in the late 1800s[1], who kept detailed notes on all the birds he encountered, including their culinary utility. He used to eat five of what is now the world's most endangered parrot[2] for breakfast, and remarked upon their pleasant fruity flavour, and recommended saving their fat to cook your camp bread in. And being honest, I'd be very interested in a family drumstick from Kentucky Fried Moa. Although I suspect they'd be rather gamey.
