Strange request

[ChileFarmer]

I had a friend email me looking for a recipe for alligator tar tar. I haven't a clue. Yeah, I know I got strange friends. CF

Wow that seriously is a strange request. Where do you even get alligator meat?

[Mama Mangia]

believe it or not - it tastes like chicken (so they say) and you only eat the tail - you can get it down south

Mama, we eat it all. Gator ribs is hard to beat. I like it fried best. We did smoke some ribs, not as good as pork ribs. But good.Most that we see in the market is just kinda chunked up, So you really don't know what part you are eating. I don't see it as much as we used to. CF
Annie, the rivers and ponds here have gator in them.

OMG, i just saw a show on Top chef where they had to make Gator meat .

Most of them just used it like chicken, in a stew or Seared with Rice. But you know what they say, Everything taste like chicken...

[Easy Recipes Guru]

People do eat all parts of the alligator and make dishes like gator nuggets and alligator legs.

Wow, I guess dont knock until you try it

I've just seen in a show also that making a dish of a gator meat, but I haven't tasted it yet and I think, I won't dare to try to eat it.

Only time I've ever tasted Gator was at a fun little rustic drinking-joint just outside of Fairbanks called "Two Rivers Tavern". It was simply cut into strips- battered and deep-fried and I forget was sauce it was served with. If I hadn't known I'd have thought it was chicken strips. Parts is parts- HA!

[HeadChef]

HAhaahhaahaha! Maybe I will eat a Gator meat if I hadn't known it like as what you've said.
