I love sweet tea. LOVE. IT. It's this crocogator food NONSENSE that's causing my hackles to flee in terror.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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.

...probably not, dcp.
It's not to say I won't try exotic new foods, but I'm...cautious. 4 of those animals are pests meant for death-and-disposal (someone in Oregon, close to my mom, thought that nutria would be a good FUR animal, and when that failed, just LET THEM GO. They've been eating the roots of the trees along the various riverbanks around Portland, causing massive erosion and plant loss. Bah.)

meant for death-and-disposal
Eating them does accomplish that pretty thoroughly.

...true.
I'm skeptical, but open to convincing: if dishes with these...creatures...can be made tasty, I'm willing to give them a go. I resisted eel for years until I found unagi. (And dragon rolls! NOM)

“Not dead yet!”
Y'know, I grew up in the south and I've yet to partake from the Roadkill Cafe. There are just some things that don't need to be sampled.

Can't say any of those are as delicious as unagi. Though there may be preparations that are, who knows?

The food in Seattle does not include these...delicacies. I think I'll just sit over here and drink some more coffee...
You used to be able to get all that and more at the Exotic Meat place on Aurora. And I know croc meat was available at the Bite of Seattle the one time I went.

I've lived in the South all my life and you couldn't pay me enough to eat possum.
