>>>Never mind the show off, not interested.<<<

LOL - not a big fan of snakes myself...

Back about ‘55 or ‘56 I participated in a survival school put on by one of the Navy’s very first survival instructors. Don Kepler took us out into the ‘Wilderness Area’ at State College, PA (which is officially what they call it) and he would feed us and teach us the whole first week (all from the wild), then the second week we had to feed ourselves. (He did offer suggestions here and there).

One of the things he fed us the first week was rattlesnake, not breaded and fried, but roasted on a skewer. Actually, it was pretty good.

Mary said it was rich, a cross between tuna and chicken.

If I get hungry enough, I am sure that even grubs will taste good.
