Alligator. I've had fried alligator; it's quite tasty.

Have you really? I'm not so adventurous. What would you compare the taste to? I'm drawing a blank as to something I've eaten in past that would be considered unusual. I love Ecargot which some people think is slimy and not very appealing but that's quite "mainstream".

Yuck to all of the above. And yet, to those who consume such "delicacies", it's perfectly mundane, I would think. When I heard about chocolate covered insects I was immediately squeemish, myself. :eek:

A few years ago it was very trendy to eat "edible flowers". While this isn't particularly unusual, really, I didn't understand the appeal. There are so many things to eat I've never had a desire to sprinkle some flowers on my greens. Some say they are aesthetically pleasing. I prefer mine in a vase, on the table, not on my plate.

I can't think what it tastes like really, but it's not really a different taste.

Alligator is a Cajun thing - if you have a Pappadeaux or some other Cajun restaurant in the area, they will likely serve it.
