Should snake meat be considered food?


Mine is Amala. I don't think I can dare to try it.

Pounded yam

Thunder fire Ewedu. If the only option left for me to survive is me eating ewedu, I will rather die than such rubbish entering my mouth. Las las, every body go die.

Every food is eatable as long as it's edible, harmless, hygienic, looks good, smells good, tastes good and it's not from China.


The idle hegoat right above hiding under female moniker to spew trash.
Emoney and Kcee once said more than this until they had their first plates of Ewedu, now they would gladly throwaway all the oilless craps just to have another plate of Ewedu.

In my humble opinion, i don't have any food i hate so much i won't eat if i'm hungry.
I only have preferences; like i don't like ogbono soup, yoruba omi obe(i'm yoruba btw), stock fish, and some other combination like that. But trust me, i can and will still eat them with relish if i want of have limited choice.

Definitely snake and any other reptile out there.

Kobo, snakes don't count as food.
Just because some nairalanders eat them, does not mean they should be eaten.

Right, lalasticlala?

I am afraid that doesn't work.... we can't discriminate like we do with other things. So long as nature allows it as food and the digestive system processes it as such, who are we to claim it is not food.

Reptiles, snakes included, are enjoyed as food regularly in much of Asia. Even cockroaches have their place at tables. Wetin you and me go do kwanu?

I am perfectly fine missing out on that aspect of living abeg.

Just have a taste before you conclude..

They say it tastes like fish.

I was eating catfish the other day, then I imagined it was snake meat, and I was grossed out.

My eyes already concluded on my behalf... there is no going beyond that for me..

That is a disgusting thought to have abeg!

You might eat it someday without realizing it though.

I once ate something I never would have eaten if I had known what it was.
It was given to me by someone I trusted.
I felt betrayed afterwards... even though I was a child then.

May God not allow that kain mistake to happen to me abeg!

See, I don't like to eat out because I don't like stories at all.

Kobo stop abeg!

What if smoked and dried snake meat was given to you to eat by your grandmother?

There was a time I was suspicious of smoked Titus fish... the skin reminded me too much of snake skin that I would not eat food cooked with it unless I saw it whole myself.

My grandma wouldn't do evil to me.

Anything that is still alive, like those octopus people enjoy.

Also frogs or worms.

1. All reptiles - snakes, lizards, chameleons, turtles
2. Rodents of any kind- rats, capybaras, porcupines, grasscutters
3. The whole lot of amphibians - frogs, toads, newts, salamanders
4. Cockroaches

1. These actually don't taste that bad, the bigger reptiles. Still curious about turtle. The people catching baby lizards are annoying.

2. I thought I'd hate this class of animals, but they are quite tasty --again, the bigger ones. The people catching regular rats are trouble seekers.

3. Agreed

4. Insects. Agreed.

Speaking of big reptiles, many people swear by crocodile meat. Never been curious enough. I think turtles are major delicacies in some Caribbean islands, but still....

My papa also tells me stories of how, as little boys, he and his siblings/cousins would trap porcupines and wild rabbits.

Now rabbits seem rather edible, but porcupines and moles? Ah, ah! I'm not that curious.

The image below depicts hawkers in Malawi selling roasted rats along their highways. You won't find me near there.

I join them to swear by crocodile. I don't recommend seal.

I join them to swear by porcupine. Not bats or civets.

Wouldn't try moles. Variety is the spice of life, but not moles! (Come on, I hope nobody is eating those poor blind creatures?) And not hundreds of roasted rats! I'll never be found licking my chops for these ones.

There are grades to meats, but I don't think those little domesticated animals are any good for consumption. Waiting to hear of the people that eat geckos, though.

You never had roasted termites before? It is so delicious.
