Snake meat would indeed be tough due the configuration of the musculature necessary for each rib to move each belly scale which is a snake's form of locomotion.
This is why the leg/shoulder/rump cuts of beef are tough.
The more the muscle is used, the 'harder' it gets.

In bacon grease!I don't think Obama's stepfather was allowed to consume swine-derived food products.
A shame. The Fried Grasshoppers recipe Tax-Chick shared with me is deeeee-licious, and it specifically calls for bacon grease.

I've had fried rattlesnake on quite a few occasions and never considered it to be tough.

Dogs and snakes are ‘unclean’ so what’s a little pig fat?
LOL

I’ve had rattler just broiled by being laid on rocks
next to the fire, it tasted like chicken, white meat.
Of course we WERE hungry.

That was a Salvadoran delicacy. Their tamales aren’t as good as the Mexican version, but their grasshoppers ... ole’, the hit of the parish festival. And dragons will eat the leftovers.

you nailed it...I’ve got Lewis, Tolkien, Chesterton, Twain.
They’ve actually been read too!!
I swear these Obama autobios were all bought for decoration.
To: Scotswife
I prefer Theodore Roosevelt to Mark Twain. I also have a nice set of Winston Churchill’s war memoirs. Bargain paperbacks from Dover Publications.

“In the United Kingdom, 57 percent of Pakistani Britons are married to their first cousins, with attendant increases in their children's congenital birth defects. But the comics save their inbreeding jokes for stump-toothed West Virginians enjoying a jigger of moonshine and a bunk-up with their sisters.”
West Virginia doesn't allow first-cousin marriages, unlike, apparently, the UK.

and I’m guessing you read them?
I’m becoming more and more convinced my lib friends are just buying their stuff for pure decoration purposes.
To: Scotswife
Im guessing you read them? Of course. Roosevelt and Churchill were both talented writers with fascinating, mostly-true stories to tell. (I doubt either man refrained from a little embellishment, given their egos ;-).
I used to go to Homeowners' Association committee meetings at the home of a Democrat couple. They had Bill's and Hillary Clinton's memoirs prominently on their coffee table. And they did not, otherwise, have the overflowing shelves of books that would indicate they might actually read that much! I don't think either of the Clintons even read "their" autobiographies!

LOL! That’s probably true!!
It would be funny if somebody tried to quiz Obama on his own autobio
To: Scotswife
Maybe Zero reads his at night before bed - after all, no subject other than himself interests him.
