If Adam and Eve were Chinese, we would still be in Paradise because they would have ignored the apple and eaten the snake!

Rattlesnake Roundup
The Annual Rattlesnake Roundup, sponsored by the Sweetwater Jaycees, kicks off today in Sweetwater, Texas.
There's the Rattlesnake Review Parade today, and later tonight is the Miss Snakecharmer Pageant. Here's what they're hunting, the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake.
And it's for a good cause! Proceeds from the Roundup are given by the Jaycees to the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, the Special Olympics, and a lot of other worthy folks.
If you plan on rounding up some Diamondbacks, be sure to read the safety tips posted on the website first.
Naturally, there will be a cook-off this weekend. Speaking of safety tips, here are a few you need to know about how to safely cook a rattlesnake. First, cut off the head. Be careful because the head can still bite for a few hours. Then you have to hang it and let the blood drain out. Next step is to cut off the rattler to add to your collection. =) Make a slit in the skin down the length of the snake, peel it off, and save it for tanning and making a hatband later. Now take out all of the entrails and discard.
The body needs to be put in a brine solution for a few hours ... until it stops swimming. As soon as the swimming stops, you are ready to cook! I've only eaten rattlesnake once. No, it does not taste like chicken. It tastes like ... er ... rattlesnake. Here's how you do it: Take a cup of flour and season it with salt, pepper, and paprika. Take the snake out of the brine. Rinse it, then pat it dry. Cut the snake into 2" to 3" chunks, then fry the pieces until golden brown.
You can actually buy rattlesnake meat, but it is very expensive. If eating a snake makes your skin crawl, why not opt for a rattlesnake cocktail instead?
RATTLESNAKE COCKTAIL
1-1/2 ounces whiskey
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 egg white
1/4 tsp. anisette
Put everything in a container and shake it up. Strain into a martini glass.
There you go again, blaming everything on the poor Chinese...Look Here! (http://eatyourhistory.blogspot.com/2006 ... chive.html)
