“Ask any Mermaid
You happen to see,
‘What’s the best Iguana?
‘Chicken of the Trees!’
SOMEONE has to have PhotoShop skills to make a “Chicken Of The Trees” tuna can with Charlie Iguana.
I am not that person but I can see it my mind’s eye.
I would definitely try to eat a properly prepared iguana. Been waning to eat alligator for a long time.
The most exotic thing I’ve ever eaten was ostrich loin. And, no, it didn’t taste like chicken. It looked and tasted like beef. Very tasty.
I suspect there may be a lot of small delicate bones to remove in an Iguana. They both slither and crawl with great speed and flexibility. Such movement would require a strong ‘armature’ or bone structure, but it must also be lightweight, sort of like with large nesting birds.
They are a delicacy in many of the Carribean islands. A few years ago I was reading that there was a shortage in some of the areas and they had to import them from other islands.

Oh, look. Someone just ate Adam Schiff.
Oops. Wrong bug-eyed reptile.
People eating lizards in Florida is better than sacrificing livestock at the courthouse.

Egads!!! What’s next?? The Hugh Manatee? Deep fried manatee?
Probably no worse than rattlesnake. Definitely safer to harvest.
Where's PETA??
My son has eaten one. I don’t recall him raving about the flavor though.
Same thing with Asian carp, which are actually good to eat.

So are pythons and New York liberals. How do pythons taste? I expect the New York liberals to be as nasty and bitter on the plate as they are running wild.
