Can you imagine how good Smurfs must taste when Gargamel can't decide whether to eat them or turn them into gold?
-
I also wonder what the trade value of gold might have been in that universe? For all we know, it might be an either/or situation. Like "Well, I could have my favorite takeout every Friday for a year, OR the newest smartphone." Both are tempting but for different reasons. Like, "I could buy a lot of turnips, potatoes, and beer with one golden smurf and not have to worry every month if I have enough food, but then they taste REALLY good on their own." Gargamel struck me as someone who didn't have a lot of money, so having been poor myself, I understand this weird conundrum. Also, having a golden smurf to trade might bring unwanted attention from locals would who assume he has LOTS of them, and rob his home looking for them.

Those are thickened with starch. They are vegan as far as I know.

Fair enough.

Are Smurfs called Schlumpfs in Germany?
-
Schlümpfe
The singular is "Schlumpf".
-
Yeah, maybe it was like a pest control bounty lol

Yeah, in general, eating carnivores isn't the way to go. Not only are they less wholesome nutritionally, but they can also contain more toxins because of their diet. Plus, they can't really be consumed easily at scale, because of the amount of energy they need to live.
Fish are an exception to this, but I'm not sure why. The fish we eat are mostly at least omnivores though

how many smurfs have you had in your mouth?

They're "Les Schtroumpfs" in French.

What is Gargamel ?
-
Interesting thought, however, Garmel was some sort of wizard. It’s more likely that he would perform the conversion himself.
Still, perhaps the cost of any necessary, reagents, or other ingredients required to turn Smurfs into gold were not worth the gold they produced.

It's about the journey, not the destination.

So this is a bit of a personal peeve of mine, so please don’t take it as an attack or argumentative, I’m just offering a perspective.
Generally speaking, gamey is a misnomer. Unless, if by gamey you mean “doesn’t taste like domesticated beef”, in which case you’re right on, but gamey itself isn’t a flavor.
Every meat has its own distinct flavor and calling something gamey just indicates that it’s not culturally normal for you.
-
I'd say what I think of as 'gamey' applies pretty equally to elk, deer, rabbit and squirrel (at various strengths), all of which I have eaten more than once. So I'm not sure that's true.
-
Don’t they sell Smurf ice cream in your country?
-
They do not. Not that I have seen, anyway.
-
He must have eaten at least one to find out how good they are, right?
-
Tastes like chicken
