I live about a far away from Alligotor country as you can get in
the United States. I have never tasted it. Can you descibe the taste
and texture? I would love to try is sometime.

every time i've had it, it's been teri-yakied up, or sauced up in some way, so i will defer to Coot- where are ya, Coot ?"

[Peggy]

Yeah, Lucky, I agree, this is a question for the Coot! Old Coot lives here in Louisiana as I do, but he is one of the masters when it comes to Cajun food! I think I have eaten alligator one time, but it was fried, and sauced up as Lucky says. Kind of hard to actually describe it.

[Christi]

I had it fried once, and it was pretty chewy. But I hear that it can be tender.

My dad hit one in his SUV, and it made a really loud THUNK noise! He went back later and it was gone.......somebody had alligator for lunch!!!


Ok...re-reading that, let me clarify. The offending gator wasn't actually IN the SUV. My dad was DRIVING and hit the gator which was crossing the road. But, unlike the chicken, he didn't get to the other side!!!

[Christi]

By the way...did that help answer the question???

[Peggy]

She is probably real sorry she asked! OC, where are you??

[Christi]

Why????

[Peggy]

Because he would know what to tell her about alligators!

Oh, your halo is slipping!

[lucky]

christi;
i initially had visions of your dad back-handing the alligator in the passenger seat..THUMP!

[Christi]

It'd be fun to watch, and I have no doubt that my dad would have won too!

Gator?,.. you ask....

Tastes like chicken,,,, lolzzzzzzzz

Alligator is overpriced, overrated and the best I ever had was in sausage, mixed with pork and nicely seasoned.

Peggy, you can probably get some at Winn- Dixie, it is in the meat dept with the oysters. they also have shrimp and crawfish sausages there too...

and that's as far as I will geaux with gator meat. There are good dishes with gator,.. but I don't think they are worth the cost.

Lol OC, my son was recently down there working on rebuilding
houses and he tried it. He thought it was pretty good, I didn't
ask how it was cooked. I'm still curious.... I still want to get
the nerve to eat Squirrel too.. I've had Bear, moose, deer
Rabbit, phesant. *grin

[Christi]

I had moose one time when I lived in Vermont ( ) It was VERY good. I liked it much better than deer.
