What Are You Eating Right Now!!!

I think that snake is a great alternative food source -much better than insects imo It´s suppose to be a little like chicken. It´s served in (some) restaurants in China btw

snake is great, and easily confused as chicken depending on how you fix it. i've seen rattlesnake meat in canned food sections. a friend fried it like chicken and i thought it was delicious myself.

Rattlesnake in tins -wow. Okay, I really didn´t know they do this. In which part of the world did you see this and for how much?

...Snake bulgigi, snake fried rice.....mmmh I wonder how these dishes would be like

I could never eat snake. It comes from catching Gartner Snakes which are native to North America as a child. When caught they sometimes do what's called "Musking" where they release this foul smelling fluid from their cloaca. The memory of that smell is something that I'll never forget.

I know that the snakes people are referring to are different but those memories of getting that stink on my hands and arms from handling snakes will never go away. It's a mental thing. But if it supposedly tastes like chicken then why not just eat chicken.

Exactly.

I'm a fan of sirloin myself ahab. I usually get the strip tip steak and cut it up into tips then marinate. I have an air fryer

Nice! @Capt.Ahab,The hosta sprouts are brilliant, never knew that to be food. Now I need hostas in my kitchen,
Bonne appetite!

Yeah for sure.
They are the first thing I get to pick here in the Spring.
Get em when they are spiked or just opening up.
Cut with a sharp knife. It doesn't effect the plant at all in terms of leafing out later in the season.
Saute, roast, steam.
They are very mild in taste.
I usually saute them with a little salt and pepper and maybe a clove of garlic.

Cod. A good fresh Skrei cod fillet. The herbs are fennel and coriander. Then salt and pepper and thin lemon slices. The embers are kiwi and apple branches. I could improve its presentation, but getting those sumptuous flakes takes a stopwatch in the gland of intuition, a spiritual contact with the centre of the fillet, as it's done in minutes and the meat needs to be flexible as well as very soft. I don't deserve myself.

you do have a point . But I can´t eat chicken anymore and besides snakes seem like a good healthy and low cost alternative. I´m not sure but I´m guessing snakes are low maintenance compared to keeping chicken. And also the conditions in which chickens are raised are often appaling

I guess there are always some pros and cons somehow.

PS I bet snake fits better onto a bbq grill though

Never had snake, but I think the most strange I ever had was Kangaroo. In a new opened ordinary chinese restaurant in the suburbs.
