Anyone tried crocodile? I dont know if the USA eats alligator but we very occasionally get crocodile.I bought some about a week ago, mostly so my kids could get bragging rights at school.

It was smoked and tasted kind of like ham, nothing like the fresh crocodile I have tried. Very fishy, fairly tough. Worth it once, though.

Oh, and ostrich is a great meat. Super lean though. The last time I made an ostrich thigh roast I took a tip from a recipe for warthog (also very lean) and embedded pre-frozen daggers of streaky bacon into it. Definitely a job worth doing.
