My disclaimer here before we get started.....I'm not trying to start any flame wars here. I'm just curious. We have a lot of members here from different backgrounds. And I truly believe that variety is the spice of life.

Would you eat a snake????? Or any other reptile????

If it was in good taste to do so, sure. If it was caught and slaughtered for something like the rattlesnake round up they have annually in Texas, then I'd rather slaughter a few people.

I would eat snake and have eaten crocodile. Croc tasted like chicken but a bit more rubberish in structure.

LOL! OK, you got the old lady whose one brain cell still goes faster than her fingers can type! You know what I meant! :eek:

And I guess the gator I had wasn't the best processed/prepared (that DOES make a huge difference when dealing with any meat). Farm-raised chicken-fed gators would probably taste a bit different than a nuisance gator in a drainage ditch eating whatever comes along. And knowing the person who got the meat, he had probably just killed it a few short hours before the meat was slapped on the BBQ.
 
I don't eat reptiles or amphibians. I _have_ eaten turtle (gag me), gator (meh), and- that's it. Herps are friends not food! ;-)
 
Checking on this thread I realized I forgot to mention I have actually tried snapping turtle but it was in a soup/stew with so little meat I don't think it even counts as I couldn't discern what hint of flavour was the turtle. I've also had a lot of other exotic foods but I'll just keep it to reptiles and such.
 
I have tried a few different dishes and didn't like rattler, gator was ok, I like snapping turtle as long as all that nasty yellow fat is removed. Pressure cooked to tender it then breaded and deep fried.
But hey here we tend to eat a few odd things, ground hog aint bad if you get a younger one and bake it right.
 
Trying snake (as a food) is on my list actually.
I'm going to Texas this spring and I want to go to a restaurant that serves it while I'm there.

I like strange foods (kimchi, sushi, thai, indian, etc) and I love trying new foods.
I don't have problems eating any farmed animal that was ethically treated while alive.

I would rather eat snake than a McDonald's chicken nugget.
