Years ago we were at a restaurant in Hong Kong that served snake.The waiter brought a live snake to the table next to us and then killed it and skinned it right there.
I was speechless.
Food doesn’t get any fresher than that.
I was at that restaurant.
I remember thinking “I’m glad that’s not a cobra! Uh I think it’s not a cobra.”
I ate snake when I was in high school. One of the girls in my scout troop was a Green Beret. He and a couple of his colleagues took our troop camping. They caught,skinned, and cooked the snake for lunch.
At least you knew it was fresh.
