Name: Chicken Riggatone (Chicken Riggies)

Utica!
I went to college about 10 minutes from there.

Hmm.. 10 mins from Utica- did you go to Hamilton in Clinton?

Smoked alligator tail... very good... and very unique. Going to eat a nice Russian girl shortly but do not believe that this is what you were looking for... but still tasty! :)

Name: Nutria Gumbo
Catergoy: Stew

Peices of Nutria mixed in with potatoes and rice. AMAZING!

Fried Alligator Balls!

Ostrich meat (very good)

Crawfish flown in from LA and boiled to perfection!

Seeing how it is hunting season here in the mid-west I`d have to say vension (the back straps) seasoned the way they should be or a vension buger or if you really want to get tasty nothing compares to a good vension roast. I walk right past the store butcher and smile because its already in the freezer and nothing like a good wild gobbler now thats eating men.

We have tomato pie here in Pennsylavania..

a favorite of Kids birthday parties..

"Pizza!, hey dad, where is the cheese????? Why is it cold? No, I'm not hungry anymore"

Buffalo Burger - $6, Buffalo Inn, Upland, CA

Name: Basashi (Japanese: 馬刺し, ばさし).
Category: appetizer

Descripton : Raw horse meat served with onions and soy sauce. Famous in Kumamoto Japan (where my company sends me). Tasted like a cross between beef and bacon. Not bad if you don't think about it.

I thought it tasted like wet horse. But sure beats the kujira.

Name: Rattlesnake
Category: Friggin' Serpent

Description, Tastes like the proverbial chicken, though rubbery and peppery. Ate a one inch by one inch meat-on-a-stick type piece that was being sold at a roadside stand in the Mojave desert on a dare by my older brother-in-law. Repugnant, but I was 16 then. Makes for a good change-of-pace in a conversation though!

Had this in India. Something they called "soylent curry". I don't know what is in it..

Oysters, raw on the half shell, with a dash of Tobasco.
Scallops, raw, big ones...like 2" diameter big, dipped in a wasabi soy sauce paste.
Super Crunch Roll, I don't know what's in it but it was tasty.

Erp...lunch today was good!

Indeed I did!
