    I enjoy the gator. Next time you need to offload, hook a brother up.

    I forget where they shot the scene in LA when the guy from Bizarre Foods did a show. But they had a chef who made Gator Buffalo Wings and Ribs. He said you almost could not tell a difference but it was more tender and had a bold flavor.

    You're too nice, Kyle...If it was one of my friends I probably would have told him that it was "mountain oyster" and I just couldn't bring myself to eat it...being from Louisiana and everything where we have real oysters available every day. :lol:.


    (I swear I would have told him that...there's probably still time :hihi:)

    Down in Chauvin the catholic church there used to have a food fest of sorts every October (I think it was... they may still have it)... whoever had the alligator sauce piquante booth and the alligator 'balls' booth knew what they were doing. Haven't been down there in years though.

    Strange. I didn't even know alligators had balls.


    I know, I know. That was weak.

    I frequent Deanie's Seafood in NOLA. I've usually had a few cocktails by the time we go there. I always ask about the crawfish sampler or whatever and of course the server always mentions the crawfish balls in her schpiel. Without fail I always get a confused look on my face and say the same thing, "That's strange....I didn't even know crawfish had balls."-- and there are crickets 100% of the time that I say that. It's such a stinker that I keep doing it bc the crickets are funny and my gf always looks at me and rolls her eyes and my drunk ass will just sit there and look confused.

    ...no idea why I just typed that stupid tradition of mine out.

    Carry on.

    Hey, if I were there at Deanies with you, I'd laugh out loud at that joke.

    Next time you go with your gf and a server takes a drink order from the table tell her you'll take a crown & water....and a vinegar & water for the lady.
