There is nothing I love more than kitsch and Clark's is rumored to have the largest private collection of taxidermy in the nation. I was in heaven upon walking in the door.
I could have eaten yak, crocodile, llama...even python. There were choices to be made. Fried. Or chargrilled. Did I prefer gator tail, toe, or rib?
I settled on gator tail. It tasted a lot like chicken.
I enjoyed eating it amidst the twinkling lights underneath a canopy of stuffed animal skin.

I had gator in Florida as a kid. You're right - it tasted like chicken, but mine was incredibly chewy. I want to go there and try some other animals and try to not be scared to death of the stuffed animals.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could eat gator meat. I would have had the rabbit. I ate it when I was a kid. It, too, takes like chicken...or is it just our imaginations.
ReplyDeleteVery nice pics, btw. :)
I had fried alligator tails once in Florida -- a LOOOONG time ago. I remember thinking they tasted like chicken, but not very good chicken. :D
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, you're braver than I am! Looks like y'all had a fun time.
ReplyDeleteOh. My. I think I could actually eat Gator. Fried up it actually looked tasty! I like these posts; it reminds that there are people in this world who are very, very different than me (not you...I mean the stuffed elk photo :).
