Crocodile meat
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)

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

I'd imagine crocodile meat would have a bite to it.

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? ... reminds me of the 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 Guiness for 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.

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.
