“If it helps, think of it as a type of evolutionary revenge,” I laughed and handed her a hot slice.
“Watch out for bones,” I warned as Alice took a tentative nibble.
“It tastes like chicken,” she said between mouthfuls.
Everything tastes like chicken, but no one ever says chicken tastes like snake. All of which leads to an interesting question. If tuna is chicken of the sea, why isn’t chicken called tuna of the land? Apparently, the comparison only works in one direction.
I experimented with different ingredients and cooking styles as I prepared a few other slices of Rocky the Rattler. One concoction turned out to be worthy of one and a half stars. I used a handful of vitamin C rich pine needles, bouillon, and a sugar packet with sesame seed oil to create a sweet and sour sauce. While not exactly gourmet dining it tasted good enough that we each wanted a second serving.
Snake stew or starvation? Alex, I’ll take snake stew for 200. We had just won this round of Jeopardy.
