You gonna eat that?

Well, at least cook it first...

I'm not sure this surprises me, but eating reptiles brings with it some risks. I'm conferring with my microbiological pals, but I can't help but wonder just how different they are from birds - in a gastronomical context, I mean. I've eaten my share of turtle and gator (might as well be a staple in Louisiana), and I've eaten the requisite rattlesnake that any Southern man has to have consumed to be able to stay in the conversation at the bar. Still kickin'.
