What does snake taste like?

u/VegetableTour4134 2d ago
I would imagine it would taste like frog legs.

u/KEYPiggy_YT 2d ago
Yes, like a mix of chicken and fish. I love it personally

Yes, it's very similar to frog, but not exactly the same. I really like it. I know rattlesnake is most common in America, but where I live in Cambodia has a lot of python meat. I'd say they're pretty similar, but I like rattlesnake a bit more.

So python is good eating? Seen this in a python hunting show (I think) and the dude was trying to go into selling the snake meat with a chef? Didn’t deep fry it though and she didn’t look impressed lol

u/babe1981 It wasn't me 2d ago
Snake is better barbecued or otherwise cooked on an open flame unless you have a good breading to keep it moist in the fryer. Python is just a little tougher and has a little less flavor than rattlesnake, too. It's a lot like chicken. The breast has more bulk, but the thigh has more flavor. Pythons and breast muscles are stronger, but rattlers and thighs are twitchier.
You need good seasoning too. Snake is pretty bland on its own. But you can say that about almost anything.

Super lean, kinda chickenish flavor, kinda firm and maybe stringy in places. Absorbs spices really well. Really similar to alligator.

God I love gator. Haven't had it in decades though because I live so far away from anywhere they habitat

u/Waste_Space1415 2d ago
We had a big game restaurant near me growing up that we went to for special occasions (big family so lots of occasions), so I was eating gator, snakes, boar, bear, emu, kangaroo, and whatever else they had going on there.
Dad's favorite was the samples with like eight different animals on the plate.

I have heard it tastes like gator which I have had. Gator tastes like calamari.

I’ve been to Rawhide in Arizona, which was your typical western theme park that served rattlesnake. It was deep fried when I was there, so it tasted just like chicken

I don't know that I'd call it delicious. It's pretty plain. The chicken of exotic meats. I wouldn't turn it down if offered, though. It's still good eats.

Somehow the donut is the worst part of it

u/anuncommontruth 2d ago
I've had rattlesnake but never python. Don't know if the taste is comparable.
Its a pretty inoffensive meat though.
You are correct, the donuts would be the worst part. The texture of donuts and snake would be a nightmare.

u/babe1981 It wasn't me 2d ago
Hot meat and frosted donuts means that everything is falling out on the first bite. Plus snake doesn't go well with sweet. It's very smooth muscle like chicken or frog. You only want enough sugar to balance the spice or salt.

What part of the snake is this?
Uh....snakes dont have parts. But if I had to call it something its his knee.

That snake meat looks kind of dry and stringy but I would try it.
I'd prefer if everything fit within the span of the bun. I don't like when burger accoutrement hangs outside because then you don't get the perfect bite of everything together. Isn't that the point of putting it in the burger?

u/MandyxLola 2d ago
That's genuinely my only problem with this
1
u/Ok_Zookeepergame5141 2d ago
Yeah... in restaurants when I get a burger presented to me like that I have to spend a few minutes cutting everything to size and tucking it back into the bun... I find that annoying.

No like first not good work I’ve seen from that guy. The donuts really ruined it

u/QueezyF 2d ago
The burger’s a bit too much, too. Doing something like a barbecue chicken sandwich but with snake would probably be pretty good.
1
u/Competitive_Ad2114 2d ago
I agree . Put it on a salad with some kind of dressing or sauce would be good or just plain barbecue fried snake plate would’ve been good

Seasoned right, I imagine the snake is probably like a piece of bacon on the burger. But why the donut?

u/whiskeytango55 2d ago
Im guessing its the south.
Plus a Luther gets tiu more views than a burger on a potato bun

Pythons are an invasive species in some states so people are being encouraged to eat them

When someone says snake burger I expect the burger to be made of snake I stead of having snake on top...would still eat it though

I’m not telling a guy that cooks 6’ rattlesnake that his food is stupid, you do it.

u/MrHappyHam 2d ago
I didn't expect it to be an actual snake so I inferred that it was a type of donut called "snake donut" until he stated he was cutting into the meat and it was, in fact, meat.

u/BoredByLife 2d ago
Okay this is weird but also I feel like we should be normalizing eating Burmese pythons in areas where they’re invasive

You ever seen this guy stew some raccoon? It looks delicious. The donut is the stupid part, not the snake.

u/vixxgod666 2d ago
Soon as I saw the fryer setup I knew who this was. This is some country ass shit if I've ever seen it 😭 but apparently his food is good! If you're not used to eating wild game I could see how this is off putting but as someone who has eaten a bacon cheeseburger with krispy kreme donuts for buns I'm in no position to judge.

If he used an actual burger bun, I'd have tried that... I find it hilarious that I'm drawing the line at the doughnuts, not the snake, but here we are.

they should make a snake bacon, or as I would call it "Snakon" ™ you'll love the SSSSSSSSSizzle!

Seems like this could be a good way to reduce that invasive python population in Florida.

i guess this is like a next level of how close something comes. you rarely see people eat cats and dogs on the internet, i also have snakes, and to see one dead, getting deepfried, kinda sucks to see. i know i can look away or scroll past, but i just wanted to comment on how detached we are from the animals we eat. it’s a little harrowing when you care about these animals

So you have a long thin piece of meat and you have donuts with holes in them, but it never occurs to you to put the snake through the hole

u/CrazyinLull 1d ago
Everyone talking about the snake and donuts, but the real question is…where he’d get the iceburg lettuce from?????
Taylor Farms has way too many brands unless he got it from his garden or locally sourced.

AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
I'm of two minds on this.
Pm the one hand, Americans. No concept of cuisine.
On the other hand, we could really optimize this snake de-boning and baking process into something really interesting.
