“I don’t want say it’s an acquired taste,” she said. “It’s an acquired thought process.”

Well put.
When I was on Guam, someone suggested spreading a rumor to Chinese tourist that the meat of brown tree snakes was an aphrodisiac. I thought that might be a good way to make the things useful.
Snake and Eggs ... with WretchUp
Beats having them always falling on the power lines and causing outages.
I tried rattlesnake once. I’ll pass on the python.
Use a shotgun Jim.
We had roasted rattler in E&E classes back in the 80’s.
We just skinned them and cut it into 3-4 inch sections and roasted it on sticks.
You had to eat it like corn on the cob, rake the meat off the bones with your teeth, parallel to the “ribs.”
Yeah, it was like chicken.

When my son did survival training with the Navy in Florida, he said that snake was okay if you’re hungry...and tastes like nothing at all.
Gator is popular in Florida, and like snake, it’s pure protein, can be so tough there’s no way human jaws can chew it up, but if properly prepared (either lightly cooked or seriously pressure cooked) it’s chewable and just tastes like whatever sauce you serve it in.
Python meat? I'll pass. I'd be perfectly OK with killing them then using them for boots or just leaving them for the buzzards. There's nothing wrong with killing an invasive species like and leaving it where it lays.
As for possible Mercury in the python meat, Microwave for 30 seconds. If it was still sparking at the 30 sec. mark don’t eat it!
Dog and cat food.
If you want to get rid of pythons, put a bounty on them, regardless of size. If you make it profitable, people will hunt, trap and kill pythons.
Once the python population is thinned out and people stop hunting them because it’s more difficult, then increase the bounty.
The reason I say bounty at any size or age is because you are helping the Eco-system when they are terminated young.
People are deluding themselves into thinking they are going to eliminate the Pythons there.
I don't like to eat them but Europeans love their escargot. In researching the piece I found that edible snails have virtually disappeared in Western Europe, and they now import large quantities of American brown snails (which originally came from Europe). As someone once posted here, just start a rumor among the Cajuns it's illegal to hunt pythons and that they're good eating and the snakes will disappear in a hurry.
We got rid of Neanderthals and dodos.
Doesn't matter, the Chinese will eat anything anyway.
I tried rattlesnake once. I’ll pass on the python.
Rattlesnake is OK. Tastes like a tough chicken. I just do not like the price/performance. It is a lot more expensive than chicken, but not as good.
Tried Cobra once. Too fishy.
Python seems enticing. Where could I get it?
The weirdest food I found was in some fancy Thai restaurant in Luxembourg.
Frog legs with Rats ears.
Rats ears definitely beat python steak.
Thems good eatin
