I'd love to try alligator.

Even if it tastes like chicken because they're both reptiles.

There's easier ways to get things that taste like pork and chicken than fighting an alligator for it.

If I eat pork I'll maybe die though.

I don't know what alligator y'all been eating but it tastes like a slightly fishy overgrown rooster when they're young or a pretty drat fishy small pig when they're big. Even if you're really careful with the meat it goes rancid quickly too, so you can have some...interesting times with elderly alligator meat.

I had to help butcher them up from a whole animal, scales and all when my brother took me hunting up East country in Texas/southern Louisiana. Let me tell you what, alligators are big fuckers and their hide doesn't care one bit if you want to cut into it. My brother slapped me in the face with the back foot off of one of them and it hurt enough to make me fear Godzilla properly.

The best way to eat them is deep fried tails, but the tails are also good marinated in Italian dressing and grilled or added to a turtle soup.

Actually, the Pappadeaux alligator tail comes with a "alligator sauce".

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

I had alligator once, it was lightly fishy and stringy as all hell. I don't live anywhere near gator country though, so hell if I know where it came from.

I've not had alligator but I have had crocodile which I would describe as tasting like fishy chicken.

Similarly, I was helping to butcher the moose I shot (from my front door, with a revolver, to save my dog) and whilst I was bracing one leg, the dude put so much force into cutting the tendons or something that the hoof left a bruise on my chest and nearly shoved me over.

Figures, I managed to kill the moose before it could get up speed to charge me, and it still wound up stomping on me.

The only thing worse than tripe is tripe you didn't get a description of beforehand and put into your mouth thinking it's coleslaw.

...It was kinda dim in the kitchen, I couldn't make it out very well.

They called the chicken feet at our local dim sum place Phoenix Fingers and there was no way 12 year old Lumbermouth wasn’t going to order those.

Honestly I could see a place offering chicken tenders under that name. Maybe a highly-spiced teriyaki breading. I would not be expecting chicken feet.

Are they not full of bones? Or do the bones just dissolve when you deep fry them or whatever.

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
They eat the skin, fat, and the small amount of meat on the bones. It's mostly chicken skin on "sticks".

Yeah chicken feet are mostly a skinnier version of wings, mostly for sauce delivery. They're ok but I always felt the effort of eating them vs the reward was skewed.

Tripe fuckin' owns though and I could eat it all day.
