Det finns en novell som jag läste i en samling på början av 90-talet, jag försöker hitta titeln och som skrev den.
Ett forskargrupp arbetade på en tidsresenär. Det fungerar inte riktigt förrän de öppnar ett fönster i det förflutna och hämtar det som visar sig vara några dinosaurägg. Tyvärr kan de inte upprepa sin framgång och de förlorar sin finansiering.
Meanwhile, the eggs eventually hatch and the poor and starving scientist have no other choice than to eat the dinosaur to survive. The dinosaur meat is so delicious that the Dino-Berger become the must praised food on earth.
Det skulle vara " En staty för pappa " av Asimov, vanligtvis spotted i "Buy Jupiter och andra berättelser . '
Stål från Wikipedia-beskrivningen:
A theoretical physicist and his son work on the theory of time travel, and experiment with a method of reaching back into time and retrieving objects (as also occurs in "The Ugly Little Boy" and "Button, Button").
More by serendipity than design, they manage to retrieve a nest of dinosaur eggs which in due course hatch. They keep on working but are unable to repeat the experiment. In the meantime, the dinosaurs grow and are kept as pets. But when one of them accidentally gets electrocuted, they can't resist tasting the flesh beneath the scales and find that it tastes delicious.
The two men decide to raise the dinosaurs to be killed for food and open the first of a successful chain of restaurants dedicated to serving "dino-chicken".
The ironic twist of the title is that the physicist is remembered not for his scientific achievements, but for his culinary discovery.
