Here in our place there are plenty of snakes. Its not the poisonous type. They come from the python family. Often, some of our neighbors can catch a snake attacking there roosters or chicken. When they do, some guys here would usually kill the snake and cook it. They also eat it. A lot of them told me that its great tasting and it gives a lot of health benefits. I am often offered to eat the snake meat. But I never have the guts to eat it. How about you? Have you eaten a snake already?

[i]I was told by my Parents that I did when I was a kid and I love it! LOL! My uncle used to catch one who also attach their chicken and used to cook it.
But,I've never seen them doing that when I was already matured, maybe their appetite change but they told me, it taste good really once there is a lot of ingredients and the cook is great![/i]

Hi there checapricorn, I guess you were innocent way back then. Although the people on our place who have eaten the snake said that it does taste good. In my case, its not about the taste. I can even tolerate other foods that does not taste well. It is more perhaps the knowledge of eating the snake that makes me puke.

No way I would never eat snake or anything like it. I dont even eat eel. I hate them I cant look at them and would not consume them in any shape or form.

I have. My father bought one for me - he even had me watch how they skinned it and drained its blood. Then they had it cooked - the meat tastes a lot like chicken, only that it has more bones. It's actually good and only if someone can prepare it better for me - someone who actually knows how to bring out its real flavor, then I'd like to have some again :)
Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Oh really. So finally someone has tasted and described how it taste with actual experience. Well, the boys here do the same. I think it is really true that snake does have a good taste. It just about me. I find it hard to take it considering the appearance. Thank you likewise for the reponse and best to you always.

I have never eaten snake. But I have no problem tasting it.
It is just that eho I know if that snake eat something like a dirty rat.
I guess If I tried snake it could not be a wild snake. I would be to scared.
