Re: Alligator Steaks are popular in Florida and South Carolina -- care to try one?
Never had a gator steak, but have had gator tail which is a typical appetizer down south.....it's like a cross between over done calamari and chicken, very chewy.

I have had duck and I did not like it.

I've had black bear, venison, rabbit, duck, bison, alligator, squirrel, sea urchin, conch, squid, calamari, a lot of other stuff I am sure everyone has had and bobcat which I'm fairly certain not a lot of people have had. I like it all. I am eager to try new things as well.

I'd try it but can't imagine liking it.

Re: Alligator Steaks are popular in Florida and South Carolina -- care to try one?
I ate scorpion in China. @Master I can't beleive you don't like duck. Have you ever had Peking duck where it's roasted absolutely delicious. What don't you like about it, is it too greasy

I agree sounds like it was over cooked. You may not have the desire to try a proper roast duck you won't be disappointed. Duck is not very forgiving in the cooking process. They have a thick layer of fat betwixt the skin and the flesh and it must be rendered properly but I can say when done well it is my favorite dish. I ate it six times in a two week stay in Beijing or as the natives call it pudong

Re: Alligator Steaks are popular in Florida and South Carolina -- care to try one?
I'm a pretty good eater, but I've read monkey brains and scorpions on here.
If forced to make a choice between the two...................
I'd eat a bowl of cereal.

Re: Alligator Steaks are popular in Florida and South Carolina -- care to try one?
Then again, I rather enjoy tripe, so...............

Nothing wrong with tripe or lengua either they make excellent tacos!
I'd give a scorpion a go...I'd be afraid of getting stung still, but I'd eat it. Now what I WOULDN'T eat is this....

Re: Alligator Steaks are popular in Florida and South Carolina -- care to try one?
I've eaten everything mentioned on here so far, apart from Bobcat. I'm not sure I would eat it as I have a soft spot for cats.
I've also eaten;
raw jellyfish
dolphin (yes, really)
deep fried sheep intestines
camel's eyes
bulls testicles
shark
raw lionfish
:feedme:

Re: Alligator Steaks are popular in Florida and South Carolina -- care to try one?
It's not exotic but escargot is very tasty
-
Re: Alligator Steaks are popular in Florida and South Carolina -- care to try one?
Escargot is good shit. I've had shark also, and it's good.

I would like to say Pot Noodle but you have to draw a line somewhere.

Re: Alligator Steaks are popular in Florida and South Carolina -- care to try one?
Tongue is something that I have eaten all my life but people look at me like I have just killed a child when I tell them what I am eating.
It's not even rare, every supermarket in the UK sells it.

I would have it like crispy duck. Babies seem quite fatty, so you'd want to make sure all that puppy fat has rendered down nicely.
also, instead of the traditional pancake rolls, baby might be quite nice rolled in a lettuce leaf instead.

Well, don't tell a Chinese guy that the duck was rubbery, because he will think you really liked it,
