Gators
But I gotta tell ya, I dunno about the gumbo part. ...the next part is NOT the truth...
Why, the last time I kilt an' skinned a gator, that ol' boy thrashed and caused such a commotion, it whacked all the water clean outta the swamp andchanged the entire water table and created what is now known as the Florida Everglades.
Why, I had to use a 15-foot Copperhead snake as a lariat, and let me tell you, that snake sure was mad! He bit that 'gator so many times, he tenderized the meat! Which was fine with me...
I made a marinade of equal parts soy sauce, ginger, and snake pizen and let it sit for two days...after that, I dug a trench twenty feet long and four feet deep (this 'gator was a big feller) and put that old boy over a set of coals I fashioned out of two 400-year old oak trees...with a little Hickory for flavor...
Well, it fed the entire village, but unfortunately, several people died. I guess they liked it so much, they must've eaten too much for their own good. Or maybe it was the snake pizen in the marinade.
So nowadays, anyway, I don't like to cook 'gator.
If you have any other suggestions, I'm all ears
Ya got's me ears, my tummy and my heart.....
I'll work up some good recipes fer ya.....
