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

Eh? Surely it shows more respect to eat those that could eat you - it's just bullying to eat those that can't (sez me who has never killed anything I've eaten in my life!)

I know snails are an acquired taste, but I hadn't realised rabbit was considered grim...? Perhaps a British thing - rabbit isn't uncommon on the menu here, although I admit I haven't cooked it myself, it was a staple of my childhood. Works well in casseroles.

That's why you make porridge of them!

I think I've had croc. I've had alligator but it was in quite an overpowering sauce so I can't comment on the finer points of the taste. Damn good though.

That porridge sounds good, but it also sounds like a lot of work.

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.

It just sounds cool. "I'm eating crocodile sausage--on a steeck!"

Aliantha · 05-17-2007, 09:58 PM

A croc snag on a bun is how we'd say it.

BeltNah · 05-17-2007, 10:02 PM

Or croc on a roll.

Aliantha · 05-17-2007, 10:26 PM

or even just have a croc roll

We often had slugs on our breakfast table back in England.

They weren't invited, mind you.

'gator meat not bad at all.

I once saw some crocs and gators at the zoo (South Louisiana). Them zoo folk were kind enough to put put signs identifying the genus, species, common name, and best recipe.

No, not what I'm saying. They have a very bland and fresh food diet, so they don't taste like they normally do. They normally eat carrion.
Farm raised, grain/corn fed, catfish don't taste anything like wild catfish either.

smurfalicious · 05-18-2007, 08:04 AM

but when all is said an' done, it's still not as good as a little BBQ manatee.

BrianR · 05-18-2007, 08:28 AM

Note to Philly natives...croc and gator can be purchased in the Italian Market.

I get all my "unusual" game meat there.

bluecuracao · 05-18-2007, 12:16 PM

I did not know that...I'll have to take a trip over to 9th St. this weekend. Who's the purveyor?

BrianR · 05-18-2007, 04:25 PM

Damned if I remember. He's on the river side, about halfway up. Look for the sign and the odd meat in the window. And I don't mean the goats' head that is in every butcher shop window.

Ask for the ostrich. It's damn good, very low fat and counts as white meat even though it's red. And it tastes like the finest cut of filet mignon.

If you go, get a business card for me. I always forget.
