Hope he at least killed it first.

You mean you’ve never been so hungry that you found an opened can of cheese spread on the ground from an old box of C-Rations and the ants were crawling in it but you were so hungry that you just dug your index finger into the can and pulled out a blob of cheese spread with ants and gobbled it down like it was the best stuff you ever ate?

Well, neither did I, but my old Platoon Sergeant swore he did.

[After a successful jump, I tried one of the venders fried rattlesnake. Just like fried chicken, lol, though maybe a little fatty.]

That’s interesting. I’ve never consumed snake meat, but I’ve heard it tends to be super-lean.

[Regulator]

Yeah. Wasting bandwidth with tabloid trash.

‘Mom, I have the best job ever. I look at caveman poop.’ Gotta have a PhD for that, I’ll bet. There’s $100K easy, spent to get that. oh hahaha, life is so darned funny sometimes.

Rattlesnake and muscatel.....breakfast of champions.

Maybe he and his buddies found a pregnant rattlesnake and gutted it for cooking, finding the eggs inside….and they just split up the rattlesnake eggs amongst themselves as a treat to swallow whole. Rattlesushi.

Like a lot of southern recipes, I think fried is the best way to make something not so appetizing bearable. lol

Alligator and frog legs are similar. I have only had each once in my life, just for the novelty. I never landed a parachute into an alligator farm though. :)

Human dung from around 1200AD in the 4-Corners area had the complete skeleton of a mouse in it. He probably picked the squirming and squealing mouse up by the tail, and down the hatch.

Or was it a Gerbil?

I’m reminded of an old Talking Heads song:

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
You got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
We got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall
Now it’s all covered with flowers
You’ve got it, you’ve got it
If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
You’ve got it, you’ve got it

My old Platoon Sergeant was a liar, too......................

On a side note:

[Red Badger]

Funny you should mention that.

I saw an episode of Naked and Afraid last night (on DVR, so I don’t know when it was broadcast) where the man and woman did eat a Pygmy Rattlesnake, found that it had young inside, since they don’t lay eggs, but bear live young, and they ate them too!................

A rattlesnake rodeo?

I tip my hat to the cowboy who can rope a snake.

[MagnoliaB]

Rattlesnake is delicious fried.
Love frog legs and keep them in the freezer all the time.
Never eaten alligator.

[Red Badger]

I have heard that....................

[Red Badger]

I don’t know. People were really tough back in those days!...................

These boys would give the Dukes of Hazard a run for their money.

I fully understand the reluctance - I’ve heard that an alligator is basically a life support system for a jaw with just about the highest bite force around.
