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.
