Menu choice
Jump to: Newest in thread
There's a restaurant in a nearby town which has bison, crocodile tail, alpaca and python on the menu. Which of these, if any, would you order? Vegetarians and vegans obviously wouldn't order any of them but if you're not either what would be your reason to either order or not? |

"I've eaten bison and crocodile before so I think I'd give the others a whirl."
I've eaten bison but not the others. I think I'd struggle with alpaca for no other reason than I'm not used to thinking of them in terms of food. I could never eat python for reasons I can't articulate also the menu said because they're constrictors the meat is tough. |

I have tried many different meats on my travels. I own a butcher's shop and always look for something that little bit different while travelling abroad.. South East Asia have some very interesting food .. I'm going to Japan in 5 weeks so can't wait to sample the delicacies and delights. |

That's interesting. Japanese food is an acquired taste in my opinion  . |

"I wouldn't eat the python for the simple fact I hate tough meat, it makes me gag. Id give the others a go though. Preferably someone else would order them so I can just try a wee bit. "
I think that's the answer |

"Is a little sampler plate with a bit of each an option?
It didn't give that option. Maybe four people should go and each order one so they could all share  "
That's the perfect idea, hopefully there isn't a case of 1 person hating theirs and wanting someone else's instead lol |

I once had the live baby octopus in Malaysia.. That was a bit different.. Funny how they react when covered in soy sauce. The delicacy over there is fish heads .. Eyes and cheeks are considered as the best part |

You know that will happen there will also be resentment because one person will eat more  |

When I was staying with some friends in Malaysia they took me to a palace and showed me a special table designed to facilitate eating monkey brains. I won't go in to detail, suffice it to say the monkey was still alive  |

"Crocodile tail. Dependant on how it was served. Also dependant on where it came from."
I think this was served like steak with a sauce.
It's a safe bet to say that it came from a crocodile .
Seriously though I think croc is farmed |

It can be, we usually buy a piece for one person and halve it. |

"Alpaca. My younger sister is obsessed with them so I’d film myself eating it and send her it
Sibling rivalry at its extreme "
I tag her in pictures of llamas on Facebook and say ‘aw cute alpaca right’ and she goes mental  |

Even if I was a big meat eater I dont think I could still see the point, when other meat is more plentiful and easier to obtain. Can I just have the side salad |

Different tastes, different texture. Python is an invasive species in the Everglades. |

I will cheerfully eat lamb but draw the line at alpaca |

I wouldn't order any of them. Depending on the rest of the menu I wouldn't even go. I'm not into eating anything weird like sushi or scampi. |

I might have drawn the line on that one eating raw monkey Brain .. Although cooked pig brains are lovely when they are cooked a bit crispy ..
Like anything else.. Don't knock it till you try it |

I’ve had alpaca and bison loads of times. Python sounds like it should be slow cooked...pulled python...Nom! I’d definitely like to try the croc steak though. I wonder if the water dwelling impacts on its texture any... *thinking face* |

I think if you're going to eat meat you should adopt a snout to tail policy but I do draw the line at still alive. |

I'm not a veggie, but I am REALLY fussy with meat, so probably none of them.
I eat meat but only if it's disguised - my current favourite is rag pudding |

I don't know, I imagine it to be sort of flaky and dry. |

Ooo what's rag pudding?"
It's usually 'chuck' beef in a rich gravy encased in a suet crust and boiled in muslin
They are called 'rag' puddings cos in the good old days they used to be boiled in rags or tea towels
Trust me, one slice, about an inch thick, a few home cooked chips and some fresh veg and you know you've had a good plate of food |

Ah my mum used to make those. I love suet pastry, certainly used to stick our ribs together until tea time. |
