Chinese Food = Roadkill? True!

I think the secret is batter and deep fry things

Even the bumper of a '57 Chevy would taste good if fried in bacon grease.

My grandmother used to make the best squirrel dumplings! YUM!

Maybe that's it, because that's exactly how the alligator tail was prepared.

  when I was in my younger days, I use to like TAIL of all kinds.    Yeeep!

So does alligator tail.   

....and frog legs too, or so I've heard.  Never had any frog legs myself.

I've had both and they do indeed resemble chicken in taste and texture. . .

I made my wife promise me to have some gator while she was in New Orleans this past spring. She did, and when I asked her what it was like her answer was: "chicken". 

And dude, you don't know what you are missing when it comes to frog legs. Cooking them is half the enjoyment though. Gig a nice bunch of them and de-leg them. Batter them up and toss them in the fryer and the damned things try to jump back out! (That's how you tell if they are fresh)

  How about Rattlesnake.  Years and years ago Linder's on the Point at the edge of Anderson.  At banquets old man Linder would serve Rattlesnake.  They were big pieces of snake.  I would eat it and it sorta tasted like chicken once you got the idea that you were eating snake.   

  But, I will tell you this, if I was on Survivor Island and a big Diamond Back came slitter along, guess what.  Snake On!  We would eat that sucker.

I've had snake; rattler, python, and probably several others to the best of my recollection. And yes, I'd eat them again; but outside of a survival situation it would most likely be for their skin, with which I'd be making some nice belts, boots, or a wallet.

Back in the 60's we would go to the Flamingo in Muncie and my mother would order frog legs. I was never brave enough to try them.

  Bad decision + wrong place = no harm.   What would a Kentuckian know about venison and Chinese food.  Wong, Dong, Chop Bambie.

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah yes, the Flamingo, the best Sea Food restaurant I have ever ate it.  Gone like so many other good places to eat.    All you could eat of good, good Sea Food.
