    I'll keep the story short but I think that is the only way anyone can eat snake. I came across some Thais cooking one and they just minced it finely before adding herbs etc. Nothing in the pot resembled a snake. So I tried some and all I could taste was ginger, and due to the snake not having been boned beforehand it had a texture of wet sand. Fcuking horrible it was. Anyone who says snake tastes like chicken is a liar IMO.

    Snake, in general, is usually an acquired taste - if not lathered in other ingredients.
    Less reptilian, in taste substance, than one might suspect - turtles, croc, lizards.....all, of which have a distinctive earthy gamy manner.

    I had boiled snake decades ago in Fiji. Meh.
    This vietnamese one was, as you say, marinated. It was killed in front of me, coated in a mixture that I presume included tumeric as it was yellow, and bbq'ed staright away. Very nice.
    I was given the beating heart in a glass of VN lao khao mixed with blood. Chugged it, but it didn't stay down for long

    Each to their own. But in all fairness I found it quite tasteless other than for the added herbs. Have eaten crocodile as well. Smelled like shit and tasted like it.

    Thanks for the headsup, was eyeing up a frozen chunk of croc in Big C. Not cheap meat, either. Won't bother now

    You'll have to partake of young/baby croc, Prag. Quite tasty and sweet.

    Finding it much different than the mature version, which does taste like shitty old mildewed leather.

    It's hard to find a photo of a cobra without it's hood spread.

    Came across this little (5 ft) fellah last week out walking. Head and markings look Viper-ish. Anyone know what it is? (Sorry for crap photo).

    Possible - the markings seem between the two. Either way - both the Russels viper and the Malaysian pit viper are wicked fast biters, and can be deadly.
