A Snake snack
Wednesday, August 11, 2004 at 2:04PM 
The other day someone asked me if I have ever eaten a snake. "Yes", I replied. "How was the taste like?". "It did not have any taste or rather it tasted of the spices it was cooked in. The meat was grainy."
Here is the "Dragon(snake) and Pheonix(chicken)" dish that I tried at a snake farm in Guangdong, South China.

Looking at the snake skin, I'd assume the snake it migt feel rubbery, right?
Your post reminded me of Anthony Bourdain's travels around Cambodia & Vietnam, being aired on Discovery, last month. For not not-faint-hearted, there's a video clip of him eating the still-beating heart of a cobra at http://www.anthonybourdain.com/frame.asp?id=23">http://www.anthonybourdain.com/frame.asp?id=23
Actually, there isn't much meat but lot of spines. You just clean the meat off the spines. But I guess a fatter snake (like maybe Python)might be more fleshy and rubbery.

A recent post on Preetam Rai's blog reminded me of Anthony Bourdain's travels around Cambodia & Vietnam, being aired on Discovery Travel & Adventure last month. Apparently, eating the still-beating...
wow that is weird
i dont think that i have the guts to try it!!

snake is one of my favorites(dish)! =D
ACCTUALLY CHINESE PEOPLE ARE SOOOO RABBISH THEY EAT EVERYTHING. THEY CARRY A LOT OF DESEASE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL AS A HUMAN BEING WE EAT EATABLE FOOD SUCH US: SEAFOODS, CHICKEN, BEEF, GOAT, SHEEP, VEGETABLES, FRUITS. I LIKE TO GO CHINA FOR VACATION BUT BECAUSE WHAT I HEARD ABOUT THEM,,,,,I NEVER GO CHINA ANYMORE NEVER!!!!!! THEY ARE VERY DIRTY PEOPLE. BRAIN DAMAGE I THINK
jhing, are you retarded? what kind of comment is that? You obviously don't have a clue of what you're saying. "THIS IS NOT NORMAL AS A HUMAN BEING WE EAT EATABLE FOOD SUCH US: SEAFOODS, CHICKEN, BEEF, GOAT, SHEEP, VEGETABLES, FRUITS." Umm, lots of cultures don't eat pork, or any meat for that matter. Also, what's wrong with eating snake? And how do Chinese people carry lots of diseases? What a stereotypical, ignorant comment. I hope you burn in hell. I'm not even Chinese and i find that comment offensive.
Jhing I honestly dont know what's wrong with you.
Some people like candies and some people dont
some poeple like to eat snakes and some people dont
so who cares?
that is one heck of a sterotypicak comment you have made there
im chinese that doesnt mean i carry diseases with me
and i dont eat snakes... simply because i dont want to.
so leave those who likes to eat snakes alone.
the the heck.... you shoudl watch what you write man.
I'm sure if I went to china and ordered a snake dish without knowing and it didn't look like snake at all, I'd eat it for sure. A lot of things we eat or don't eat is really cultural or psychologically related to our education. I'm actually afraid of snakes, almost a phobia caused by a tragic moment of my life but I still like them and find them really cool looking as animals but since I'm scared of them, if I saw it was in my plate and looks like piece of snake, I'm sure I wouldn't even touch my plate and take pictures of it hehehe. So here's my comment about that picture and the topic.
you are a chutiya and gandu and all chineese are mother fucker so coem to india and have soemthing tht is only for eating like dal and sabzi...
Thanks for the comments moona, The snake snack was delicious. Do you want some.
ass hole. how could you eat a snake
thats nasty as hell why the fuck yall got this on enternet
why do chineese people eat such rubbish???????
Idiots!!!!!!
Snakes are tasty only for some kinds of snakes. Most of the people in Asian Countries are snake eaters. I think only most of the European Countries don't like to eat snakes, becuase they like to look at them just for fun or keep them for pets.
Anyway, snakes are delicious!!!
That is awful... I have two snakes at home and I felt physically sick when I saw this.
That is sick!!!! People have snakes as pets how could they look at that. They might take that physically. But 2 me that is one of the wrost things that I have ever seen. It is mean 2 eat snakes. I felt sick when I saw this picture:(
