Peacock meat is edible and was considered a luxury food in medieval Europe, though it was known to be tough and dry. Modern culinary descriptions suggest peacock meat has a distinct, earthy, and robust flavor, similar to turkey but richer, and requires careful cooking methods like brining, slow roasting, or sous vide to prevent it from drying out.
