Lol.

why does everything we don't normally eat 'taste like chicken'?

I've been hearing that since I was a kid.
I've come to the conclusion that the 'tastes like chicken' adage stems from reptiles, amphibians, and birds being closely related. Frog legs, gator, snakes, turtle, etc. are all described as tasting like chicken/poultry. (Most don't, though...turtle tastes like fatty dark pork, as example, and others taste like the bogs they came from.)

closest ima get to a snake is the rattlesnake round up here..(its like a fair. sometimes the guys even get bit)

rattlers are tasty
They are, boney tho. Roasted over a campfire, pretty good
They're big up the mountains here. Big as in popular to eat. I tasted it once...got the 'tastes like chicken' encouragement.

I didn't really like it...I couldn't get past the thought of what it was I think.

Mine's pale wishes it was from Namibia


It is medium
I reiterate what I said to Stoney..lol

I don't have any snakes. They're cool though. I'm not afraid of snakes. Just afraid of sticks that look like snakes. And the occasional black rubber bungee cord. I might be a little afraid of them. They're still cool though.
You don't have to have a snake to be here, you can ask questions, etc whatever you want
they can turn on you in a biblical sort of way, just ask Moses
You can't trust them not to snap at you if they're pretty hungry. Doesn't really hurt, time you realize what happened you'll be pouring blood out of tiny holes. Looks bad but it's not really. That is, unless you're a hemophiliac, then I wouldn't advise having one..lol

If you ever try again(on one you or pals kill); gut and skin it, "steak" it like a fish, stab a steak on a stick and roast like a marshmellow, then drizzle with Tapatio hot sauce. Yum
