Originally Posted By mickeymeg <<melted marshmallows with a dab of nutella & peanut butter>> this sounds super yummy ! Are the marshmallows roasted over a fire or just melted ?
Originally Posted By RockyMtnMinnie I've had rattlesnake. Tastes like rubber chicken. I've been known to BBQ in a blizzard to get out of cleaning pans for the evening.

Originally Posted By Autopia Deb Not a farm raised animal, but so far as I know there's no shortage. If memory serves (and it may not, lol) every year in South Dakota (or maybe Montana) there is a huge rattle snake roundup. They bag tens of thousands of those suckers, milk them for venom, make hat bands and belts and for all I know they may even soak them in tequila and BBQ 'em. I remember when I was a kid we were camping in the dessert and someone killed a rattler with a shovel (chopped its head off, yuck!). Since it was under my aunt and uncle's trailer my aunt cooked it up and made my cousins eat it for dinner. I was 4 or 5 and *thrilled* not to be invited for dinner that night!

Originally Posted By Mary Poppins Wouldn't anything taste better soaked in tequila! And don't forget to eat the worm at the bottom in conjunction with the snake. Good times!
