lately i have been having cravings of eating weird stuff like alligator, turtle, frogs, snakes...i dont know wtf is wrong with me but i think im just gona go for it. mighty joe youngs used to sell weird stuff but apparently not anymore.

what do i gota do, go on the highway? lol
 
You'd probably have to find farmed versions of all these. I don't think most of these can be legally trapped without a hunting license. But I don't know the legalities or all that, just check your state and local laws before staking out a nearby swamp for dinner.

It's good to expand your palate, just cook the life out of that meat, it's way too easy to pick up parasites, etc. from these host-type creatures.
 
i live in ny. you gota understand..its weird to like that stuff up here but i love sushi and 'ethnic' foods.

tacos are ethnic you can get cow tongue, brain, head, intestines etc.....
 
bascially up here you got markets that will sell you rabbits and crap but i don't want to mess with that. they taste pretty good but too much work. im bascially asking how i can get exotic meat without going online/using a credit card. cash only.
 
Alligator is very good. I've had it 2-3 times at a Cajun restaurant in So Cal. Frog legs I do not care for at all. Turtle and snake meat are readily available in China, but I've never tried either.
 
me and my mate were saying about this the other day.
now im not a great meat eater (jokes aside please) but im willing to try new stuff.
just like the animal meat though, not up for eyeballs and brains.

next time i go to florida i may try gator...i keep umming and ahing everytime i see it to eat.
