Are we embarking on a new world where no one goes hungry? Look out, KFC!

[Strong]

That would be a strange combination, chicken and reptile? I wonder what reptile tastes like, anybody tried a reptile?

Are frogs reptiles? They taste like chicken.

[Strong]

Frogs are amphibians aren't they?

[Ferre]

See? These sort of things is why I soo love science. :sqbiggrin:

I don't know, I was asking you. lol

I guess I haven't tried reptile, can you recommend a species and recipe to try?

Quick research brings forth this:

Amphibians consist of three groups of vertebrates: frogs, salamanders and caecilians (found in the tropics only). Amphibians have smooth, scaleless skin which is permeable to water. Water can evaporate easily from the skin, and an amphibian can dry up and die in a few hours if it does not have access to water. Thus amphibians tend to be active at times when evaporation is minimized: at night and when it rains.

However, this same skin permeability makes it possible for amphibians to obtain moisture from sources besides pools of water. This means that amphibians can live in very dry climates, like deserts, and when the dry season arrives, they just burrow underground and pull in moisture from the surrounding soil. Despite this, the amphibian's tie to water remains: their eggs must be laid in water in order to survive.


Reptiles were the world's first truly terrestrial vertebrates. All reptiles have scaly skin that can withstand dessication and lay eggs with hard shells, therefore they are not tied to the water like their relatives, the amphibians. Since they can live on land, they also have an expanded lung system.

Reptiles include turtles, crocodilians, lizards, snakes and tuatara (found only in New Zealand). The reptiles of Quebec are represented by turtles and snakes only.

It seems they are related, so maybe dinosaurs do taste like chicken. :sqconfused:

I guess any chicken recipe will do then.

I ate quite a few reptiles back in the days I was working in remote area's of China, for the Chinese anything non-toxic they find in the fields is food and will find its way into dishes. Yes, that includes snakes, rats, dogs, lizards, frogs and anything else that's not quick enough to escape.

Funny enough some snakes and lizards taste like a combination of fish and chicken to me, I did not expect the fish taste but it was there. Dog tastes awful, it tastes like they smell.

I heard that gators were tasty, like lobster but with a chickeney texture, though I suppose that they are amphibious reptiles?

Makes you wonder why gator isn't more commonly eaten, I never tasted it but I'd go for lobster with a chicken structure any time, sounds yummie.

I'm not sure but I think that a certain amount of gator harvesting is allowed in Florida, I'd have to look into that. I had a friend that used to jack gators, he and his friend did it purely for personal consumption.
