Anyway, it's really damned good. Tastes like a chicken nugget that's a little bit spicier (natural flavoring) and a little bit tougher than chicken. They're really good... |

Yes, I have tried it a couple of times. Once in FL where I attending a Production School and then at our local Bass Pro Store where they offer Gator Bites. Didn't really enjoy them either time, too spicy for me but, you're right, it's a much tougher meat to chew.
Was offered and ate some bear roast my uncle killed with his bow and arrow once, found it to be very greasy tasting. May have been the way it was prepared, don't know.

l have two funny stories about racoon-encounters;
A) Camping at Trinity lake in 1969- in the night we heard something messin' with our food boxes (Basically apple boxes)...look out of tent and see racoon trying to pull a bag of fig-newtons out through the hand-hole- my father took a pic but we realized later that he had not synched the flash so all we had in the pic was...Eyes!
Recently did a mock-up of what the bandit looked like- and, yes- he really had his tongue sticking out!
B) A few years later, we were up at my grandma's cabin (Olympic peninsula) and we hear something on the roof- we run outside and spot a racoon trying to pull up a shingle- we are all standing back, but my youngest cousin (approx' 9) is standing closer and throwing rocks at the racoon- suddenly, the racoon catches one of the rocks and starts checking it out...Robby turns and yells "He caught it!!" but should not have turned his back on the masked bandit....the 'coon realized that the rock was not nourishing, and released it- so it rolled down the (A-frame) roof and nailed Robby right in the back of the head....didn't seem to do any damage- but Rob has married- and divorced three extremely...."Wide" women....[This message has been edited by cvxjet (edited 11-29-2024).]
