We've been talking so much about food on some of the other threads I thought I'd start one for all your wild game and survival recipes.

This is a tasty one.

Deep Fried Rattlesnake

1 rattlesnake, cut into 3-inch pieces
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp. salt
Fritter Batter
Oil
Marinate meat in refrigerator overnight in lemon juice, 1/4 cup oil, and salt. Baste meat occasionally. Wipe meat dry. Dip pieces in Fritter Batter. Deep-fat fry in heavy skillet.

Fritter Batter
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup plus 1 to 2 tbsp. self-rising flour Beat together eggs and milk; stir in flour. Let batter rest about 20 minutes. Batter should be quite runny, like fresh cream, when used. Only a thin batter will fry crisp.

I think you lost everyone right around..... "Deep Fried Rattlesnake" lol

Sounds good. But I'll stick to chicken as long as I can.

Rattlesnake is a bodacious meal, extremely low in fat and rich in protein and nutrition

[blaster]

begining of bow season I got a 4' 8'' eastern diamopmdback, had 13 lil ones inside. it was delicous, cooked it in with some pasta and tomato sause. I dont like to cook the whole carcass, too many bones, i cut out the backstraps. the rest is buzzard bait

[SilentSoul]

I stick to the they don't eat me, I won't eat them philosophy with snakes.. First time i get bit though it's over.

[ezearln]

Sorta like the line "Man eating shark sighted! Says the shark was delicious!"

[ArkansasHunter]

I guess snake would be better to eat than grubs, bugs and leaves...Do you put ketchup on fried snake ?

[ezearln]

Well this ol boy puts ketchup on nothing! Unless of course I has used it as a base for my homemade BBQ sauce Yee haw!

[toolman]

There's not enough meat on'em, I'll stick to rabbits.

Buzzard Soup:
Lay on the ground as if dead.
Wait for the buzzards...wait...don"t move...wait
Grab a fat one.
Boil 30 minutes until it stops screaming
Buzzard Soup !!!

Earl, if you ain't never tried Cottonmouth Moccasin, give it a shot some day. If you like Rattler, you'll love Cottonmouth. Real pretty white meat and has a mild fish taste to it. Meat is sorta' flaky. JB
