DEEP-FRIED RATTLESNAKE

1 medium-sized rattlesnake (3-4 lbs.), cut into steaks

1/2 cup flour

1/4 cup cornmeal

1/4 cup cracker crumbs

1/2 cup milk

1 egg

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)

1 teaspoon salt

dash pepper

Mix dry ingredients. Whisk milk into beaten egg and use to dip snake steaks. Then coat them with dry ingredients. Fry, uncovered, in 400 degree oil until brown.


This gives me the creeps just reading it but there are people who eat it (not me!!).

You have to catch the thing first. Potatoes don't bite.

I have been told by people who know that it tastes like chicken. (shudder) I'm a vegetarian!

[Kayak]

I heard gator tastes like chicken too. They really eat it over here in Florida. 'gator nuggets'

how much worse can things get?

[jaba]

I think I'm going to be nauseous

I've eaten snake before, the texture is hard to describe - a little on the chewy side- and the flavor was pretty bland.

Don't get me started about eating disgusting things, especially raw, I've lived in Japan, Korea and the Philippines.

[Coexist]

Do tell, Honu!

[Kayak]

Don't they eat dogs in China? and in Japan, well I've done some research and they've let some cannibals loose over there. Theyre pretty much celebrities in Japan.

If you think that's bad try my ex-girlfriends lasagne.

i swallowed a bass minnow alive once. hey, it was a bet!

[Kayak]

yummy. I ate ants once. They got into my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I've has brains...I thought it was lamb curry. I guess it was in a way, just not the part I thought I was eating.

Has anyone ever eaten anything with a head on ? (other than pawns / fish) that gives me the heebie jeebies

[jazain]

no no no....one of the specialties in my husbands country is a lambs head that is cracked open and bread dipped into it.............i would pass the hell out if i even SAW it.

shrimp or fish with a head on it? no no no. i am too weird about food. i wouldnt be able to even think about starting to eat it.

The grossest thing I ever consumed was pickled turkey gizzards in a bar just outside of Milwaulkee on a bet during my 18th birthday.

I got sick shortly afterward. My sister ate snake in elementary school, a teacher brought it in. She went home sick that day. I grew up on a pond and catching bullfrogs and frying their legs was a neighborhood fun time. It really DOES taste like chicken legs...

Of course they eat cats in other cultures, and we love them as pets. We eat cows and they are sacred in India (funny we don't have Hindu's trying to forbid this in America)...it's all relative, like when I watched videos in high school where tribes in Africa ate bug/grub meals as if they were nectar from heaven.

I've tried liver before, I thought it was good.

[jazain]
