Tastes like chicken

[guppy]

Nothing tastes like chicken except chicken and Young Republicans (old Republicans taste like pork). Democrats start out tasting like pork but get crabby with age. Libertarians taste like cooton candy but without the sugar. O>K>, politics aside...My question is what odd things have you eaten? My list is probably longer than yours because I used to teach this stuff. My start up list is; 1xspectacled caiman, 2x yellow fronted parrots, 1x coatimistle, 12+x yellow flower bats, 1x Geoffreys fishing cat, and 1XWhite's tegue. The only thing that these have in common is that (unbeknownst to me at the time) they were all endangered specie. Tarantulas taste like shimp, mantis shrimp taste better than prawns but there is a reason they call them split thumbs. I will add to my list as time goes by but if you want to know what stuff tatses like you will have to ask.Sometimes I won't be able to answer, after all, you tell me the smell of blue. Post your tasties, good or bad.

Do lizards and snakes taste different from one another? Do they both taste good with proper seasoning? What's the proper way to prepare a snake and is it time-consuming? Did you just eat the tail of the caiman, or did you eat other parts as well? how does caimans' taste compare? how about this feline?

how large were the tarantulas you consumed? What parts do you get the edible flesh from? is eating tarantulas a common practice among central/south americans or something? How many tarantulas do you need to make a decent meal for yourself?

have you ever eaten dog, or horse?



I dont think ive eaten a single odd thing in my life. ive always wanted to taste snake and gator though.

gator tasted like **** to me. To much grissel. Frog legs taste and look like chicken. Spiders have you bumped you fing head?

 

[piranha45]

maybe they used a bad part of the gator... isnt the tail, which is the part they usually use, all muscle?

ive tasted deep fried gator in NYC. Texture is like a squids but it tastes like chicken.
I have eaten a python too. It kind of warms your body and it tastes good but i cant compare it to anything else. Those 2 are probably the most unusual thing that i have eaten. And balut, which is the embryo of a duck inside a broiled duck's egg. Its good but the embryo is disgusting as hell.

Weirdest things I have ever ate would have to be some type of Sea Turtle it was in chowder form as was actually pretty good. I have also ate rattle snake but I was young so cant recall the taste.

Iguanas do tat ste like cchicken but tegues nd monitors are more like pork with an "armpit" after taste (not a food of choice). I ate all of the caiman and it tasted like a mix of veal and pork, I liked it. Most snakes (boas, pythons, cotton mouths, gophers, bulls, indigos, cobras) taste like very mild pork chops, hog nose snakes are just foul. The tarantulas were about 4" across on average, skewer them then sear all the hairs off, eat every thing, they really do taste like shrimp. So do sun spiders but good luck trying to catch one without bleeding. Never tried any others. Cats taste like rabbit with a sharp tang added. Dog tastes like good beef but a little sweeter. Hors, donkey, and zebra all taste like mild cornedbeef. When I ate snake it was in the boonies, Ieither skewered chunks and toasted them or packed the whole snake in clay and roasted it in ashes. I have heard that you can mince the meat with cracker crumbs and make patties to fry but I never tried that. It works for everything else including crawdads so I don't see why not.

balut sucks, you can never get all of the damn pin feathers off and they irritate your throat, don't smell so good either.
