Eating Exotic Food

Each country has it´s own dishes, according to what´s available (or WAS available years ago). In my coutry there are no pythons and the use of soy sauce came with chinese food a couple of decades ago. As for exotic food, I have tasted and loved guinea pigs, bunnies and hares, pigeons and partridges and frog legs. All those we have here, so we eat them. Some of us will not eat some of the food I mentioned, but I do. And I´d try your father´s dish if you say it´s so delicious.

I have not had python and I am not sure I could as I have had one as a pet for many many years now. I have eaten rattlesnake though and I could take it or leave it. I do not think I would go out and order it but if it was there I would try it again. I do not like alligator, frog legs or turtle. I think it is the aquatic flavor that just turns me off. I have tried each is several manners and have never gained a taste for them. On the other hand I love Bison, elk, venison, boar and porcupine. Wasn't fond of woodchuck or bear either though. I find it funny that what was once apart of everyday life only a hundred or so years ago is not an acquired or exotic taste. When people first moved into these regions these meats where all there where to eat and people did. Beef, pork and chicken have some how taken over the pallet and become the norm when they used to be only for special occasions. Food stores have been a pallet killer in more ways then just over processed junk food.

I have never eaten snake. I know that there is a restaurant in my country where they sell different kinds of exotic food for instanse snake or crocodile. I haven't been to that restaurant, I have only read the menu. It could be interesting to visit that place one day and try something completely different. Some years ago my ex-boyfriend cooked a dish for me and it was kangaroo meat. It is only time I have eaten that. I also had frog legs once when I visited a Thai restaurant in my country.

I never ate snakes -- pythons are only in zoos -- ; the only animal looking like a snake that I eat is eel, but it is a fish. I like them when they are very small, because adults are too fat for my taste.

Ahas caught my eye's attention. I remembered last two years when I found a snake at the side of the house. I told my uncle, who was visiting there, and he quickly captured it. Shockingly, he cooked the snake and it was also Adobo-ed. I did not taste it because I was in the room busy talking to my brother. I heard from my cousin that it tasted like the normal adobo chicken. I realized I missed an interesting experience.
