Got gator? Florida's native population of alligators has gone from endangered status in 1967, to full recovery in 1987. Now diners at Sunshine State restaurants, ...
This comment made me laugh as hard as "Happy Tree Friends" does... You have
a rare talent :) I remember watching all those videos from England and
wishing I'd been there... We first met these characters towards the end of
2007 when we went to Florida on a vacation, and we met up at a hotel in
Miami with them and Little Rich... It was definite good times, and we got
to hang out again for an afternoon last year.
The first time I had gator the people wouldn't say what it was and made it
like chicken fried steak and it tasted like chicken fried steak. I would've
enjoyed it much better if they would've said what it was so I could search
through breading and oil to taste the meat. The next time I had it it was
cooked as gator and it was much better.
Only watched a few seconds of the video yet, but have to write this down:
"Scarlett O'Hara's"? Hmm ... weren't her last words in GONE WITH THE WIND
"... and I will swear: I will never go hungry again!"? Well - opening a
restaurant might be the ideal way of making this oath come true :-)! Okay,
and now on with the show!
My Southern Sweet Tea is made by a different recipe. You do NOT boil the
shit out of your tea bags, it makes the tea bitter. You boil the water,
remove from heat and THEN put the tea bags in to steep for 15 minutes:-)
Mountain oysters? Gator tail is yummy stuff.
The biggest difference is that the bar in Australia would be surrounded by
desert, and this one was surrounded by the oldest city in North America...
Cindy wasn't originally so keen about being on camera, but after making
many videos she got used to it :)
After eating rattlesnake and frog's legs among other things, gator was no
big deal. It's meat. It's protein. It was good. I tried some other things
like rabbit and duck, both of which were not to my liking...
Cindy and I both need to stay away from sweet tea because we're diabetic,
but we're not against trying new things to eat, however I'm a bit more
adventurous when it comes to food. We both liked our tail :)
Interesting observation... It's been such a long time since I last saw
"Gone With The Wind" that I forgot everything except the "I don't give a
damn" line and the incredibly vivid color cinematography...
