Spluch highlights this Xinhua item, a rather small photo for IotD but striking enough.

I'm not sure about crocodile, but I've been to an farm where they raise alligators. They slaughter some of them for food, and you can eat them in the restaurant area.

It's a bit of a cliche, I know, but they really do taste like chicken. I can't imagine crocodiles are much different.

I had cajun alligator years ago at a local seafood restaurant - it was fantastic. Way better than chicken.

big deal. we eat chicken, fish, cows, lobster, oysters, pigs. why is eating a reptile considered so weird?

reptiles and birds are descended from that same dinos, so it makes sense tht they taste alike. the muscles are similar.

assuming crocs taste the same as gator, i would highly recommend this delicious firm, white meat. it's almost like lobster as far as consistency.


fyi, it does not taste like chicken. nothing tastes like chicken.

except chicken.

My hard and fast rule is: I don't eat anything that could have eaten me. It's a mutual respect thing.

Love the pic, UT.

It's so much fun going shopping in the International District. The fresh food section is like a tour through the morgue at the zoo.

In Florida I went to a party at a friend's lake house. When I opened the refridgerator to get another beer there was a gator head, much like the one in the picture, sitting on a tray on the top shelf. I guess it says something about my life back then that I didn't find it too unusual or disturbing. I'm not sure WHAT it says...:eek6:

I once had a meal at a restraunt it was strips of crocodile meat and kangaroo meat, both taste very good.

All you guys are gross--except for gravdigr.

Welcome to the Cellar, siroo & smurfalicious. :D

Watch out Gravdigr, Bri's put her stamp of approval on you.

One yuan - $0.13 US.
So it's $1.46 per ounce or $23.35 per pound.
Hey, that ain't fair. The Crocs should have a shot at eating the shoppers, too.

Here a chick chick~
 

Know someone who ate crocodile meat... she said it tasted like chicken. LOL. Surprisingly for me at that time, the meat is soft... eeww... she even ate rabbit meat once...and snail... oh great... i'm having breakfast in a few minutes...that thought surely is appetizing.

:yeldead:

Snails are great on your breakfast cereal. They get shrinkage in cold milk, however.

You can get crocodile sausages here. I don't think they're anything special.

There's a few croc farms up north especially for the purpose of human consumption.

It's quite expensive.
