Good morning KFC,

long time since I was here,  missed you.

  Gator huh?  Ya  it does taste like chicken,   I've eaten delicious bear steak,  was bbq! yum

That and squirrel meat,  rabbits,  venison,  however it WAS the gator that struck me as being the most different!  Frog legs taste like chicken too.

Boiled peanuts???  wow,  now THAT'S odd!  lol

Nice to see you as well Trudy.   Hope all is well with you and yours. 

Bear steak?  Isn't bear fatty and oily? 

I've heard that people in the past ate squirrels but didn't think they still did.  I can't even imagine or go there.  To me that's like eating a rat.  ugh!

The boiled peanuts were nasty.  Everyone was watching my face as I ate my first one and I guess it must have been worth it because they all cracked up as I swallowed my first boiled peanut.  Gross!   It's like eating soggy peanuts basically.  Not sure why they would go and ruin a good raw peanut like that but they seem to have an affinity for it down here for some odd reason. 

Snails...ugh...like garlic flavored pencil erasers.  C-rations...who knows?  I do know this...the Spiced Beef C-ration smelled EXACTLY like Alpo Horsemeat we fed our dog.  And by the way, Horse.  And a number of mystery foods from my least favorite Oriental stopover.  I am mostly a meat and taters guy, nowdays.

Why does everything taste like chicken?  Maybe Chicken does not taste like chicken, but tastes like Alligator?

Never had Alligator, but I have had frogs, snails, raw oysters and ostrich too!  There are somethings I will not eat (I read about them), but most stuff I will try at least once.

Growing up in the South, we ate whatever we hunted, be it deer, rabbit or squirrel. Raised to respect the land, and appreciate anything you bring home.

That being said, a friend once fixed rattlesnake, and eel. I enjoyed the rattlesnake, but the eel tasted like calamari. Tough and rubbery.

I wonder what we would compare meat to if we didn't have chicken?

I forgot rattlesnake (tastes better than chicken!), but I have never had eel.  But I do love calamari!

I've eatten all types of insects (some not willingly).  Chicken's feet, cow's tongue, cow's intestine and yeah I won't say anything more.  I lived in foreign countries, so its not like I ran out to try some of those.

You do not have to live in a foreign country to enjoy those!  Cow's tongue?  I grew up on it (tastes like corn Beef - NOT chicken!).  chicken feet - check out the local Mongolian restaurant.  Cow's Intestine - Tripas!

you're all making eating Alligator quite tame now. 

Cow's intestine?  Tongue? chicken feet?  and bugs?  I can't stand bugs forget about eating them so I certainly would have no desire to be so intimate with a bug that I'd swallow one on purpse!   ewwwwww

try Cow's tongue!  really.  You can find it at most stores, and when prepared correctly it is very tasty.  just don't think about where it was when the cow was using it!

And try not to think about what the cow uses it for !

I don't have to think...it's just NOT gunna happen.  Nope.   There's just no way a cow's tongue is going past these lips.  One tongue in one mouth does enough damage.  Two is just overkill. 

I had a great zinger, but not for a family friendly blog.
