Perhaps a strange question, but I have always wanted to try crocodile meat. I'm going to Palawan in January and I know it is home to many crocodiles. Just wondering if it's on the menu in Palawan? I'm not particularly squeamish and am happy to try any reptilian meat, after all it's only a fish with legs
I've not had crocodile meat in Philippines, but have had it in South Africa.
It's quite juicy and tender, but more firm than chicken when you bite it.
It's a white meat with a mild neutral flavour. I know it's a bit of a cliche, but really if someone would tell it was chicken, you wouldn't question it.
You can tell it comes from the water though not the land.
Well worth the experience
It's nothing like reptile (as in lizard) nothing at all.
I once had Iguana and it tasted like .... well lizard (horrible)
Thanks for the insight Terpe
so how do you know it was not chicken terpe
The place I went to prepares and cooks it at the table.Originally Posted by stevewool

It's a game resto. i also had Zebra, Springbok and Kudu steaks (not all at the same time)
Then again, how do you know what you're really eating at any restaurantso how do you know it was not chicken terpe
Haven't tried crocodile meat... but once - during my second visit to the Phils - I'd the opportunity of sampling python and politely declined!
so true if we all closed our eyes and tasted the food lots of us would be sick afterwards if they told us what we just eaten, i am not to bad but cant stand any fat on meat at all, emma well i think she scrapes the meat off the fat and eats what is left, bone soup too
was that a resturant arthur or some sort of exotic show
No ... it was actually a relative [by marriage] of Myrna's that offered me it. And he was tucking in with his fingers ... like there was no tomorrow!was that a resturant arthur or some sort of exotic show
I'd love to try snake, where was the restaurant Arthur. I know it's a popular dish in Taiwan, China and Vietnam but didn't realise they ate it in the Phil's tooHaven't tried crocodile meat
Edit, just read your later post Arthur
They eat anything, cobra's etc. in the province.
I'd happily try it in a restaurant, but not so sure I'd want to eat something a local villager has cooked up on a calor gas/camping stove. Not sure why that is? After all if it's cooked it's cooked, right?They eat anything, cobra's etc. in the province.
I'd imagine crocodile meat would have a bite to it.

I ordered crocodile once, I said to the waiter make it snappy.
I ordered a snake and crocodile sandwich once.
Couldn't have it as they said they had run out of bread.
I had Alligator nuggets on holiday in Florida before, at a Gatorland theme park. It wasnt horrible, but the meat was very chewy almost slightly rubbery, but yes they tasted a bit like chicken! lol
Suppose when we eat them ... it makes a change from them trying to "eat" us!!!
Alligator nuggets?man living in the Protestant area of Belfast.
He kept an alligator in his back yard as a pet. And one evening, the reptile accompanied him to the local pub ... wherupon he walked up to the bartender and asked the fellow if he served Catholics ...
... Och "t'be shure, Paddy ... t'be shure", replied the barman
"Roightiho", said Paddy "Oi'll have a Guinessfor meself ... an' a Catholic for me
alligator!"
... should anyone deem this
to be in bad "taste" - or in any way offensive to his/her religious persuasions - please let me know, and I shall remove it forthwith.
nuggets i wonder what part of the alligator they were fromI had Alligator nuggets on holiday in Florida before, at a Gatorland theme park. It wasnt horrible, but the meat was very chewy almost slightly rubbery, but yes they tasted a bit like chicken! lol

That would be an unfair "alligation"Alligator nuggets?
I have been told that the next time I go, our farmer will catch a cobra for us to eat. Last time I ate frogs and Rat. Not eaten croc' yet. I am keen to try insects, deep fried.
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

My Brave eating moment will come at Xmas when i try Balut !!!
I tried it in August, it's an experience, but not one I want to repeat in the future
It's not so bad, I have had a few now. Take the whole thing in at one go, chew chew and swallow
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
Not my ideal xmas treat
