For the second time in my life, last night I ate alligator.
I was celebrating.

Taste like chicken?
Uh, not really. It's denser. Spicier. It tastes good, I think.
It IS good. I had it the last time I was in New Orleans. It was deep fried and I had it with french fries and a beer. Yum.
is it blubbery? it their legs look ultra muscular, but the bellies, not so much.
we got no crocs or gaters up here, but i've had bear - in stew and jerked/smoked...
i hated it in the stew..it was gamey and guhreasy, but i LOVED it jerked, and especially smoked.
The cuts I had last night almost remind me of something like cube steak, though better. It didn't seem esp. greasy, though it was deep fried, so....
Oliver,
But doesn't something deep-fried mostly taste like something deep-fried?
I love okra, deep-fried...if it's in little bits, about half an inch long...but even just seeing okra any other way, and I gag.
So if I was gonna try something new, that would be the way to do it.
I like frog legs, sauteed in butter or in olive oil, and they're amphibian... So it seems like alligator would be a good thing to try.
