Violates my eating rules. I don’t eat rodents, including rabbits and squirrels. I also don’t eat reptiles: snakes, turtles or alligators.
What’s the theory?
Nasty, disease bearing animals.
I have had turtle soup and alligator (at Chimes, right off the campus of LSU). Did not like the taste of the turtle soup. For alligator, did not like the texture and was too chewy for my tastes. Alligator comes the closest to being acceptable, but there are too many other things I prefer. I will eat boudin three times before I will eat gator.
