Rattlesnake......have you ever eaten it or would you?

I would try rattlesnake, but no way would I eat a 100 year old egg. I am open to trying many different cuisines. But, it has to past the smell test first. If it appeals to my sense of smell it is a go.

Sure did. We had a Christmas party one year at a very nice restaurant in Ft Lauderdale, and we all decided to try the "rattlesnake bites" that were listed as an appetizer. Surprisingly, they were very good...and a lot like chicken. I've never had them since then, but I really haven't seen them on any menus either. I've tried several things as an adult that I wouldn't touch when I was a child and found that I really liked them...in some cases loved them.

No I have never tasted the rattlesnakes it will be good, but me only to the thought that is a snake..... And then here in Italy snakes are not luckily of it.

I am all for trying new things out and I must say that I would try snake. Just as long as somebody else prepeared it for me.

Many years ago, I had an opportunity to eat rattlesnake and passed up on it. It was not because of any aversion to trying something that I had never tried before. It was simply economics, the menu had fried rattlesnake on the menu as well as steaks. The price of the rattlesnake was triple the price of a 16 oz T-Bone with all the trimmings. I knew that I would enjoy the steak, while I wasn't so sure about the rattlesnake. That is the only reason that I chose the steak. If given the opportunity today, I would try the rattlesnake.

In our place, snake is an exotic food. So i guess some folks eat that snake here. They say it aphrodisiac.

I have never eaten rattle snake, and have no real desire to either gifana. However that is not to say that if it was placed in front of me and I didn't know what it was that I wouldn't eat and enjoy it. I think that we have preconceived ideas about some things and would never eat them if we knew what they were but often will eat and enjoy something not knowing what it is. As an example, we had some overseas visitors staying with us a couple of years ago and served up kangaroo meat. Only our son and I knew what it actually was and everyone praised the meal but then we said what it was. Shock, horror. :) When our son was young we had the 3 taste rule, and that meant when something was served up he had to have 3 bits of it without complaining. Sometimes he didn't like something, so a few weeks later I would reintroduce the same thing. Now he eats anything and everything that is put in front of him.

I have eaten rattlesnake. Other than all the bones, it is really good. I'm not sure what I expected a snake to taste like lol, but I ageee that it does taste a bit like chicken.

I hate snakes of all kinds. I don't think i could be able to eat a rattlesnake. And if i would find out after i ate it then probably i'll puke. I hate everything about snakes.

I was in the Girl Scouts as a teenager. At camp one summer, I was with an adult as they caught and killed a rattlesnake. I got to help skin it. I remember thinking it was cool. I don't remember whether or not they ate it or not, though. they wanted the skin and the rattles. I'm not too adventurous now, though my husband likes to try foods from other countries every chance he gets. I guess the only mildly unusual thing we ate was buffalo meat and squid.

well, i would like to try it. i would try any try any type of meat except dog...coz i love dogs too much
