[ Regarding, rattle snakes in TX, I thought people ate those too as a delicacy? ] => Agreed.[1] However, have never attended such an event -- no particular aversion to such[2], just have never been in the right place at the right time. Best wishes, Kiisu 1. ... Love sourced the meat from a rattlesnake farm in Arizona, where it is raised, and says the fest bought up everything on the market last year. “It’s a tough meat, similar to alligator. It’s a neutral meat, but it doesn’t taste like chicken — it’s a little chewier but plain, like chicken,” Love says. “You have to make it something.” Love says some of his favorite dishes from the previous year included a snake in a bao bun and another in which the snake was cleaned, soaked in buttermilk and corn, fried, then served with grits. ht tps://dallas.eater.com/2024/9/11/24239855/rattle-battle-fort-worth-september-2024 2. Over the years have eaten shark, whale, horse, gator, jellyfish, squid, octopus, eels, sea anemone, roe, crayfish, snails, clams, oysters, seaweed, burdock, pickled herring, natto, fish sausage, etc. Most of the unusual foods (from an American perspective) were consumed during my years in Japan. Unfortunately #3 has a very long list of severe food allergies, even worse, the odors of virtually every spice and delicacy I enjoy gives her an instant, multi-day head ache -- we joke the three "foods" she's not allergic to are: boiled water boiled rice boiled chicken So ... if it tastes good or is healthy, she's likely allergic to it.

Florida gets these large Palmate bugs (Roaches) We have the exterminator monthly, but still have roach motels around the house just for extra protection. Checked the motels in back of the sofa a few months ago and each one had a large dead garden snake. I flipped out!!!!. Then I placed large glue boards near the sliding windows near the sofa. Got up to pee at 2 am one morning, and a garden snake was on the glue board still alive. When we moved here three years ago decided to vacuum the sofa and remove the cushions. A large lizard jumped out from one of the cushions. It took us an hour to get it out of the house through a window. Never had these problems in Jersey
