Fried snake, anyone?

[Urizen]

I had fried rattlesnake once. Tasty.

A word of warning:

Don't piss on the electric fence. :smoke:

Happy 4/1!

[RussinOhio]

Yikes!
Only if I were starving to death in the wilderness.

Not me,but my dad said it was good,and when I was growing up he used to ask me to at least try some groundhog.I always told him NO THANKS even though dad always said it was good... Good ole dad :scratch2:

Had a job on a somewhat local armed services base. Nailed one on the way out one day so threw it in the truck and friends and I grilled it up. Would've done it again except I found out the base is a major wildlife reserve with significant federal penalties to match.

[markthefixer]

That one looked a little too aged.....

[junkaudio]

tasty :puke:

Try this on for a great big rattler' -

Those pictures were actually taken by an Aussie sheep farmer who had noticed sheep missing, so he installed an electric fence. The snake, which looks like a python to me, could not crawl beneath the fence because of a recent large meal. :no:

did it taste like chicken?

Maybe this one tasted like sausage :D .

[fotno]

Yeah, it's a python or huge boa for sure... Course them Aussies don't lack for snakes do they? I can't imagine what it's like to know you're likely less than a couple hundred yards from a life-threatening snake from one of a dozen different species. Kinda like livin' in a mine-field.

Most folks with no palate for "game" will say ANYTHING that's not beef "tastes like chicken". Rattlesnake is very good, with a fine texture and light flavor if deepfried.

Personally, I prefer squirrel.

[fabvsix]

Probably much like alligator! Very much like chicken.

I always heard rattlesnake was a bit on the greasy side. Never had any, though, can't remember that I've ever been where it's been offered. I'd like to try it, though, just to say I had.

[outlawmws]

It's not greasy like say, Pork, but it is a little oily more like fish. Seafood fish, not freshwater.

And yes, it is good, put away your prejudices...

[hakka26]

Deep fried? Grilled is excellent also.

Had it three times once pan fried about ten minutes after the old lady at the camp below ours chopped it's head off while making her breakfast. The kids in the camp next door grabbed it and skinned it asked thew wife if she would fry it up with the breakfast she was making. tasted quite good battered in Buttermilk pancake batter and hot fried.

Second time was some meat brought out at a hunting camp most likely had been frozen not as good as the first one.

Third time was a guy I knew who raised snakes one of his BIG rattlers got loose and a got it's fool head run over right in front of us. He calmly took it in thehouse skinned and cleaned it. cut it up and got out a frying pan. That one was very good the meat was very very fine (like the veal of snake) I think because it lived in a cage. Ph he raised them but they weren't pets.

Now want to hear about dog?

I used to live in Phoenix back in the early 70s. One weekend, me and couple guys went out in the desert camping. I shot a rattlesnake that feed the three of us. I smoked it over mesquite wood. It was so good I got another one the next day to take home. My neighbor tried it and liked it so much he told me to bring him a couple if I could the next time. A couple weeks later, we headed out to camp again and I got six more. They are yummy!

[Fisher-Dave]

Six more at a camp! And I thought we have a few here in TN. I bet I didn't kill six on our place all last summer.A few farmers around ours have hogs,and I quess our horses and the kids riding the four wheelers keep them flushed out.If I was to see six in one day I think that I'd run a few hogs on our place to. :smoke:
