You know you're in the deep south when…

[joetechParticipant]

So, I’m vacationing near Savannah, Georgia this week and I discovered this great little bar with a catchy name…Tailgators. There on the menu was the following item:
Ragin’ Gator

Blackened, grilled or fried alligator with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo.

And, under appetizers:
Gator Bites

Fresh alligator, choose grilled or fried.

I never knew alligator was food. I thought they were just good for making shoes and luggage out of. Have any of you guys ever had alligator? What’s it like? And please don’t tell me it tastes like chicken. That’s rattlesnake that tastes like chicken.

My experience is it’s really chewy and bland. Therefore you need to doctor it up a bit.

There was a “Native American” restaurant in town that served all kinds of “wild animal” meat, unfortunately all of it was freeze dried and then prepared. If you arrived at a busy time, it would us being over cooked.

I thought it had the consistency of pork even though it is called “The Chicken of the Bayou”. The taste was very mild and lended itself to being described as chicken. I would avoid having it covered with too much seasoning if you really want to taste the flavor of the meat.

Cooked fresh it is tender and juicy, hopefully you have this available to you there.

Enjoy yourself JoeTech.

…..Your sitting in the yard on a rickety chair,
Eating Boiled Nuts from the Tin,
Drinking Yueg Ling from the bottle,
Deciding whether an old Mustang is worth restoring,
And wishing for a Cool Breeze…..

No, no, no. . .

You’re not in the deep south until you are at a BBQ in Mississippi and decide to try some Nutria without knowing what kind of animal it is.

And you realize it tastes really good as some of your friends giggle and laugh at the fact that you don’t really know what you ate.

Then as you open another PBR, you go online to find out what kind of animal Nutria are.

Then you are in the deep south. At the point in time you find out there are about ten different ways to cook Nutria.

Gator tail does not taste like chicken. It is very dense, fat free solid protein and a bit on the rubbery side. I don’t much care for fried, grilled is OK — the best is stir-fried with curry!

[joetechParticipant]

As long as it’s not bollute.

Thinking about the breeze coming in off of Pistol Pete’s edge of the swamp.
Thinking about the fresh pork rinds available from Moblies Slaughter House
Thinking about what color to paint the ‘Stang
and looking forward to flying West again soon.

Save trip Honda.

I agree in dense, fat free and rubbery, had some in Australia in 2015.

Was good.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

And little do they know is that you’ve done this how many times in how many different locations?

t’s called living life LARGE and they don’t have a clue as to how to do it, where to do it, and how to have fun doing it.

The below is for you Sky-O as you dropped your “Zoolander” on us this morning. Best

———————– Zoolander ————————————-
Billy Zane: Hey, Derek, back on top, man.
Derek Zoolander: Thanks, Billy. You rock.
Billy Zane: No, you rock. When you gonna drop Magnum on us, buddy?
Derek Zoolander: Not yet. You gotta tame the beast before you let it out of its cage.

Derek Zoolander: Male Model (1996) (TV)
Derek Zoolander: I have problems with turns, because I’m left handed, and they haven’t built a left handed runway yet. I’ve done over 1,000 runway shows in my career, and if you put all those runways end to end, it’d be so long I couldn’t even walk down it without getting tired. I think the only good thing about it would be there’d be no turns.

Derek Zoolander: People come up to me all the time and say “you should be a model,” or “you look just like a model,” or “maybe you should try to be a man who models.” And I always have to laugh because I’m so good looking. Of course I’m a model.

Derek Zoolander: I guess I’m also known for Blue Steel.
Interviewer: Can we see that one?
Derek Zoolander: Blue Steel?
Interviewer: Yeah.
Derek Zoolander: I’m just a regular guy, I mean; I wake up in the morning, I put on my shoes, I walk my dog.
Interviewer: You have a dog?
Derek Zoolander: You know, I love modelling. I like to do this forever. When I’m 30, I hoped I’m still modelling.
[last lines]
Derek Zoolander: I don’t think I’ll give them Blue Steel look, can’t give away the shot.

Nutria unleashing the Blue Steel look

[Anonymous 54]

I ate a f~~~ing squrell. Does that count?

[narwhalParticipant]

Had alligator, but don’t recall what it tasted like too much.

Is crawfish considered deep south? It’s so common these days, hard to tell.

What I find interesting is that a lot of people seem to do their drinking in the front yard these days, as opposed to the back.

Ok. Then do it.

Did it taste like chicken? And, what was it f~~~ing when you ate it?

You know you’re in the deep south when you run in to Old Sage and Solo Man’s Wisdom.

Are you sure that this is not actually “Le Tigre” instead?

It certainly does in the South Old Sage, even more if you served it with squirrel gravy. In you were not in the South, anywhere South of North counts, then it only counts as one less tree rat on the planet.

Fried alligator is delicious if it’s cooked right. If you don’t cook it too long, it is not rubbery at all. It is actually tender if not overcooked.

As for squirrel, I grew up in Kansas, (obviously not a southern state), and when I was a kid, we had squirrel and squirrel gravy quite a bit. That was the wonderful farm life. If we were hungry, we had no store nearby. We went to the pond or the river and caught some fish, cleaned them and fried them and that was supper……..or we went out, shot a squirrel and or a rabbit, cleaned it, fried it and that was supper.

All of the above was usually accompanied by fried “tators”.

Growing up on a farm is really pretty cool.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.
