It does! I love fried Alligator, there's a Louisiana restaurant(name escapes me right now) that serves it around here. It tastes like chicken with the texture of fish. It's odd, I wonder if snake and frog legs taste like chicken after all then. . .

Snake does taste like chicken for the record.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

It's been about 10 years since I last had alligator nuggets in Florida. They did taste pretty similar to chicken.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Neither alligator nor frog tastes like chicken in my mind. They may be similarly mild, but the flavor is completely different. Rabbit, on the other hand, totally does.

 

[GRIP]

Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker.

 

[Orrichio]

chicken ain't got no flava anymo , ya dig.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I think I was tricked into eating it when I was on vacation in Tallahassee, Florida. Can't be certain, but whatever it was, it did taste like chicken.

 

[VALIS]

I agree it tastes like chicken, but I didn't think it was so good at all. Tasted like shitty microwave chicken fingers. Although, this was at a place on Bourbon St., and the best NO restaurants definitely aren't there.

 

[UrbanRats]

Then why don't eat a chicken?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Tastes like chicken but slightly different.

 

[Mechazawa]

Then why don't eat a chicken?

Different texture. Alligator is a much more chewy.

 

[BattleMonkey]

If fried and seasoned heavily, its similar to chicken. But if you prepare it any other way its slightly fishy in flavor.

 

[Koodo]

Maybe the alligator ate a chicken.

 

[Vyroxis]

Alligator meat is different, but in a good way. The few times I have had it it was an experience.

 

[Daingurse]

Snake does taste like chicken for the record.

I need to get some rattle-snake then. Finally a benefit to living in this god forsaken desert. . .

 

[xxracerxx]

Yeah..and...?

 

[SlowRevolution]

frog legs taste a lot like chicken.

 

[ChainedMaster]

Surströmming also tastes like chicken

 

[J10]

Maybe the machines couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like which is why chicken tastes like everything.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

So when chickens eat alligators they must be playing out some cannibalistic fantasy.

 

[Daingurse]

Yeah..and...?

 

[balddemon]

I had some spicy fried alligator when we went to hilton head island for vacation

I have been craving it ever since

 

[andycapps]

It's been a long time, but yeah, tastes like chicken.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

I didn't even know that Alligator was a dish.......

 

[Log4Girlz]

Post if you're ok Alligatorjandro

 

[blackflag]

Alligator tastes good. I suppose it does taste similar to chicken.

 

[botty]

That poor alligator

 

[Coldnoodle]

Feast at Alligatorjandro's place.

 

[Burt]

Snake and frog also taste pretty much just like chicken.

This is where I'd insert a screencap from The Matrix if I could find one.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I went to a place, perhaps the same place as you, claiming to serve alligator tail.

It had a thick fried crust, a lot of salt and seasonings, and for all I know, it actually was chicken.

 

[Staccat0]

Eh, I always though snake, aligator and frog all tasted alike, but not as good as chicken. I guess it's the closest comparison, but I always felt the "tastes like chicken" claims were a little too reductive.

 

[speedpop]

Well, what did you expect reptiles to taste like?

Dinosaurs = giant feathered chickens

Therefore

Dinosaurs = reptiles = crocodiles & alligators = taste like chicken.

If it wasn't for the fishy texture I wouldn't have been able to tell myself haha.

So you're saying T-Rex was delicious? Where the fuck InGen when you need them

I get shivers down my spine just thinking this is something man could eat:

Haha, I'd feel bad for them but apparently alligators are a very successful species. And they eat people, but meh whatever.

 

[Piggus]

I wanna try some gata

 

[SteeloDMZ]

How much protein does alligator have?

 

[Wag]

How bad could it be? Fry up anything and it'll taste good.

 

[Daingurse]

How much protein does alligator have?

No idea myself, googled quickly and found a nice breakdown.

[SteeloDMZ]

Damn. Tons of carbs from dem alligators. Not too much protein.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I've eaten them. They're okay, but you get a fishy piece every once in a while.

 

[xenist]

Establishing dominance is sometimes necessary. Predators should preferably be consumed in front of their peers for extra impact.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Eh, it's similar, but way more chewy and definitely different and "fishier" in some aspects.

 

[mt1200]

Snake does taste like chicken for the record.

it tastes more like fish for me

 

[jaxword]

I get shivers down my spine just thinking this is something man could eat:

Why? It would eat you if it had the chance.

 

[Roo]

Snake does taste like chicken for the record.

Same goes for frog legs.
At first I was like... no! fuck no! I ain't eating that shit.
When I was done, I left 3 frogs legless

 

[MisterNugNug]

Or does Chicken taste like Alligator?

 

[xKilltheMx]

It really does taste like chicken. I know this thanks to eating gator bites at the food trucks they do here in tallahassee. Pretty good. I made my whole family try it and my girlfriend too.

 

[Clydefrog]

i'd eat alligatorjandro but i think his diet isn't the best

 

[notsofast]

Ive tasted crocodile, and yes it very much tastes like chicken.

That was a while ago, will have to try it again sometime, from memory I actually enjoyed it.
