Snake or eel

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Have you ever eaten snake or eel?

Fried rattlesnake really does taste something like fried chicken.



I've got friends that have made freshwater eel, and I've caught them in some of the ponds here, but I've never cooked any.

I may have had eel, i am not sure, never snake though.

Unbeknownst to me, my grandfather put eel in his pasta sauce once. After I ate it, I asked him what was in the sauce. When he told me it was eel, I got very sick just knowing I ate that.

I've had eel before, not snake. Not really looking to try it [snake], either, and eel was mediocre.

Was it actually eel, or was he just messing around with you, like grandfathers do with grandchildren? (My grandfather claimed the same thing once, but it wasn't eel, he was just joking).

 

[Evil Eye]

Nope.

Nope.

I just love your quality posts EE.





Anyway, Ive never tried either but I'd like to. What does it taste similar to? (to those who have tried it)

Eel - it tasted like fish, basically. If you weren't told it was eel, you'd think it was an unique-textured fish. I had mine raw in sushi, so that could've made a difference.

I don't really want to try either of those.

Wouldn't mind Eel. But not snakes. They're too cute

It was eel no doubt about it. He was catching them and throwing them at me because he knew I was scared to death of snakes. I ran for my life and later he told me he threw them all back in the lake. What he really did was chop them up and put them in the spaghetti sauce. Ugh...I could puke just thinking about it.

Yeah...

All right then... I haven't had snake or eel and don't plan on eating them either.

For no real reason.

Throwing them at you? Man, old people are messed up sometimes...

...it reminds me of a similar situation where my brother took advantage of something I was afraid of and kept assaulting me with them.

I suppose snake would taste different as its a land creature.

My father has had snake and eel before (and some other strange things - the military will do that for ya'), and according to him they are definitely different tasting (despite similar shapes and methods of existence).

I guess I would rather have snake, but to be honest neither sounds tasty.

 

[Naviero X]

Nope and don't intend to. Both sound very disgusting. Blech

 

[Rapunzel]

I'd rather starve.
