I've had rattlesnake quite a few times. Tastes like chicken or frog legs and I kid you not.

I have had grilled rattlesnake.
Found it quite tasty.

I had rattlesnake in Phoenix once. Good with a spicy mustard dipping sauce.

A spicy sauce and cooked over a wood fire is the only way I want my snake. Raw is the worst way to have it but hey I guy has got to eat. You can get ill if the snake is not cooked all the way through.

"That's exactly my point. Exactly. Because you have to wonder: how do the machines know what Tasty Wheat tasted like? Maybe they got it wrong. Maybe what I think Tasty Wheat tasted like actually tasted like oatmeal, or tuna fish. That makes you wonder about a lot of things. You take chicken, for example: maybe they couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like, which is why chicken tastes like everything."

Interesting title. Other than that, I usually like trying "exotic" foods.

That's all you, Bobby. If it doesn't Moo, oink, or bwak I don't want it.

Jbailey · 10-19-2010, 10:48 PM

I would be all for trying it. I love to try any food once.

Bill86 · 10-19-2010, 10:56 PM

I actually had snake one time, one of the cooks brought some in from PF Changs. Forgot what kind it was but yeah not bad, a little too crunchy for my tastes but the meat was good. Not sure if he brought it in to work and cooked it or PF Changs actually has that on the menu. Either way it was interesting to try it once, I wouldn't pay for it though. Especially at $30 a pound.

I do all of these things, Gary.

It's good and as others said it tastes just like chicken.

benedic08 · 10-20-2010, 12:33 AM

Yep taste just like chicken... Too much bones though if its not boneless....

Don Fernando · 10-20-2010, 03:33 AM

I have not had rattlesnake, but I ate cobra when I was in Indonesia, freshly killed,, skinned and gutted, grilled over some coals and eaten with a spicy sauce. I liked it, althought I preferred the gekko.
