"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Although I don't know, I've never eaten crocodile.

I've eaten alligator, and it does taste like chicken, or at least like chicken cooked with fish.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have a mental tag on alligator i that claims it tastes like veal, but I think it's really just that, when I tried it, it had been battered and fried and so tasted mostly of fried batter like a veal cutlet.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'll echo Ginger - my forays into eating gator have been mostly chicken-like, with a bit greasier texture and a hint of fish oil flavor.

I know I've had alligator sausage, but that's full of other flavors.

looks at y'all with growing alarm

The food in Seattle does not include these...delicacies. I think I'll just sit over here and drink some more coffee...

Son, you're gettin' ready to hit Atlanta. Be prepared. At least for the sweet tea.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ND and I (and I think there were others) split some 'gator appetizers at the New Orleans F2F. It was nummy.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

In some places you can order half sweet half unsweet

which is still very sweet

but I like my ice to have some sweet.

I love sweet tea. LOVE. IT. It's this crocogator food NONSENSE that's causing my hackles to flee in terror.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Then you probably wouldn't like squirrel, 'possum, armadillo, nutria, or rattlesnake, either.
