Gross

>>12775405
Only ever really had it as nuggets.

>>12775405
Same way you would cook chicken.
Can put it into gumbo or cut into cubes batter and fry it.

Look up Deer Meat For Dinner on youtube. He probably has some vids but he doesn't really give exact recipes.

>>12775436
thanks for the tip
>>12775413
>>12775435
most likely gonna go with deep fried battered nuggets, thanks
>>12775410
huh?

treat it like catfish

its a trash meat

>>12775558
This. Get some shoes and belt out of these fucking things. Fuck gators.

>>12775405
Fry that sumbitch

>>12775405
The head and feet should make for an interesting stock.

>>12775405
Honestly the reason all the recipes have 1-2 stars is because gator is garbage meat. Way too chewy and no real flavor. The recipes are probably okay, it's just the meat itself

>>12775405
Cook it on a BBQ over mesquite, baste that fucker with a good vinegar based sauce.

Had it in a meat pie once, pretty ok

Is gator meat really that awful? I've always wanted to try it, but never been able to, since we don't exactly have many alligators running around in Canada

>>12776815
No it isn't awful it tastes like what you think it would taste like. A reptilian chicken. I get gator taco's once in a while down here in south florida.
He just cooks it the same way he cooks the beef, pork, and chicken.

>>12776864
Could you cook it in a smoker to give it more flavor?

>>12776888
I'm sure you could

This restaurant is near me I haven't been there yet. The gator is at the bottom.

>>12776864
the gator taco's here have grilled gator and they're flavorful.

>>12776815
>>12776864
>A reptilian chicken
Pretty much. It's a little fishy, a little chickeny. The taste s fine, but the rubbery texture isn't great. It's fun as a novelty, but I wasn't personally big on it. I'm sure there's good things you can do with it.

>>12775405
I wish I could contribute more, but this thread is accurate; inherently gator has poor texture and a slightly catfish/reptile/chicken taste. Deep fry it because that is basically the only way to really eat it. I had a friend in NOLA who tried once to make it the centerpiece in a gumbo and another time attempted to serve a thigh cut as a steak of sort; it didn't work.

>>12775405
Gator is eaten raw faggot

>>12777641
No dumbass gators eat raw you don't eat THEM raw

This is a good way to cook it

Are flyover dipshits bragging about eating fucking reptiles of all things?

You vermin need to be drowned at birth desu.

>>12777693
I know it's cheap bait, but thank you for making me laugh at the thought of the midwest being plagued with gators, fren.

>>12776815
I thought canada was being overrun by gators

If it's gator tail, you can do the cajun thing and cornmeal bread and fry it in nuggets. Really only two ways gator is done-smoked or fried.

>>12775405
I heard about it in transformers ddidididishhodbahababbawowow also ate it at a meat all you can eat Brazil BBQ strlunt before goyplant meats were introduced becauseaWE HAVE TO SAVE THE PLANET AND SECURE THE EXISTANCE OF ISRAEL and hook nosed kike children.

>>12777934
Give it a few more years of global warming and it will be. They recently pulled a huge one from an AR rice paddy a short distance from MO which is the midwest.

Gator meat is tasty but it needs some consideration.
When making gator nuggets, soak the meat in low fat buttermilk, or full fat buttermilk diluted with some water to make it liquidy. You could use plain milk in a pinch.
It helps with the texture and flavor both.

-t. the Midwest, we eat a fair amount of gator round these parts

>>12775410
They're literal monsters that will consume humans for the asking. It's just a Darwanism "no you." Plus they don't taste particularly bad.

Can gator meat be crock-potted to the consistency of pot-roast? It's what I do with tough, gamey meats and it does the job well. Maybe this would be alright with potato and carrot and stuff?

>>12778182
It's a reptile so absolutely not. If anything you want to dry it out a little, not introduce more water.

>>12775405
KILL IT WITH FIRE!
ASK QUESTIONS LATER!

What the fuck OP?
I get crocs existed back then but there was no need to butcher it like a fucking savage. Fucking meateaters are the worst.

>>12777693
>coastoids are literally THIS insecure

>>12777641
>eating predator meat raw

>>12778187
It's already dead though.

>>12778188
People who don't know what they're doing are the worst. Like that idiot from /k/ that contracted leperosy from consuming North American armadillo. It's like, motherfucker read a book.

>>12778192
>>12777693
Gators are a coastie thing though, not flyover at all. Floridians, Gulf stats like Misipi, Lusianna etc.

>>12778194
best to be sure!
Like from a horror movie the seemingly dead thing always grabs someone even if it's out of some dead reflex action

>>12778199
Don't forget the salties from Aussieland, they go on the attack.

>>12778196
Sounds like something out of some Lifetime channel movie

A sci-fi channel exclusive Sasquatch vs Crocogator!

>>12778218
No he really contracted it for sure. Perfectly symptomatic and I doubt the guy even bothered to cook it properly. Armadillos are positively infested with disease and the only practical way to prepare one (like if you literally have nothing else to eat) is to absolutely fire bomb the damn thing. If you've ever seen one eaten on a cooking show it's extremely unlikely that it was wild or else that host is very dumb or outright nuts eating it.

>>12778239
I suspect that even granny from Beverly Hillbillies wouldn't bother with those armadillo beasts.

>>12778196
source?

>>12778249
I was hoping somebody would post the image and I don't have it. It's one of those "a magical place" pictures. There's one for /g/ but it's a guy that was keeping a transexual slave underneath his bed in a cage. Strange shit used to go on here and people were apparently not afraid to share it.

>>12778260
Come to think of it there was that ordeal where a guy on here home-butchered a roadkill deer in his bathtub but you've got to get the point. The internet is amazing in that you would not know this had happened otherwise. This seemed to him the practical thing to do since I guess nobody who had ever hunted gave him advice.

>>12778194
>>12778285

>eating carnivores
Practically eating double-dead meat.

>>12778296
Thanks but I was really hoping you'd post that one with the tranny cage because seriously what was that?

>>12778298
That's according to like, Islam and Judaism, and parts of Christianity. You definitely shouldn't primarily on the basis that disease communication is going to be more prevalent with something more similar to you than a turnip. Scale that towards what you are in evolution and it's more likely carrying something you can catch.

>>12778182
Yes definitely. It will be very tender in about 8 hours in a slow cooker. It's how they do alligator stew down here.

>>12778196
Some of you guys will believe anything

>>12778375
t. posting from leper colony

>>12778375
Not him, but I did eat an armadillo I shot using The Joy of Cooking 70's edition recipe. However I didn't contract leprosy.

>>12778426
It's actually highly contractible and dangerous but extremely rare due to extreme segregation even in earlier human history.

>>12778192
No, we are just disgusted with you subhuman chromosome deficient retards. Stop fucking your cousins holy shit.

>>12775558
>like catfish
>Trash meat
Come to my state and say that to my face mother fucker

>>12778441
That's not true. It depends on the stage, if it's dripping sores then yeah it's contagious but once that stage is over there's no chance of contracting it. People didn't know that a long time ago.

>>12778442
If you're say, a New Yorker that is remarkably ironic. They had some masterful-level inbreeding in those inner-city portions.

>you can only cook food items in a specific way
holy fuck are americans cringe

>>12778456
If you're known to contract it you go under strict quarantine and get a shockingly diverse antigen compound to stop it. Nobody wants that shit and several hospitals in the US are equipped to handle it. That shit is not to be taken lightly.

>>12778464
If that's your major gripe with us then allow me to introduce you to the Italians and the French.

>>12778449
kek

>>12778468
Yes but there certain stages to it.
two main ones which I already related.

https://www.cdc.gov/leprosy/transmission/index.html
Fuckin' armadillos

>>12778464
That means so much coming from eurotrash that goes around trying to rape American chambermaids.
Does DSK Dominique Strauss-Kahn ring a bell or do you just like being arrogant or have some agenda to push?

>>12778449
Wait then why is Oklahoma blue? It should honestly be the literally did nothing ever state.

>>12778492
DSK is a classy frenchie indeed

>>12778507
I am so very glad that I have eyes so I can have no idea what the fuck they key is referring to.

>>12778528
Cold climates tend to lend themselves to lower disease contraction. Hell, where I live there aren't cockroaches or termites. They can't survive the winter.

>>12778495
>the joke
>your head

>>12775410
Gator is good what are you on? You probably think rabbit and squirrel is gross too

>>12775405
Maybe teriyaki jerky?

>>12775558
Catfish is awesome! You're thinking of tilapia the tank cleaner

>>12778894
I feel no shame at the expense of a completely terrible joke. Oklahoma is what better states shit out.

>>12779034
>better states
Do go on, I'd like to hear what these "better states" are

>>12779034
Literally no one even thinks enough about OK to give them shit. They combine the worst of KS with the worst of TX. They're a nonentity.

>>12779068
OK is better than both of those states combined
>Texas
Increasingly non-white by the day
>Kansas
Nothing happens in Oklahoma, but LITERALLY nothing happens in Kansas
