Every time I hear some Irishman do a flawless Southern accent i have to remind myself that the south is only about 200 years of phonetic drift from an enormous influx of Scots-Irish immigration
The Appalachian Mountains are also the same mountain chain that runs through the UK
spot on for our Newfoundlander's here in Canada. A throwback from the early years of our country plus politics and settlement patterns over a century and a half
It made me cry when I saw them eat alligator un-fried
even the music like folk and blue grass have a lot of elements of irish folk music.
My head was only like damn that's a spot on accent 🤣🤣
Colin: ''I like to eat as fast as possible instead of worying about choking and dying.''
This guy gets me.
Amen!
The Sean say: I like a good bone. Cheeky bloke! 😂😉
Deep fried Alligator balls (made from their tail and corn bread) with remoulade sauce was one of the best dishes I had in Louisiana actually.
Gator tail Florida style is better
the visit to New Orleans was a culinary discovery. including gator :)
As a Native Floridian, I agree! I don’t know WHAT that canned crap was! It SHOULD taste like a combination of pork and lobster! The tail anyways. The other parts ain’t worth the trouble. That’s what turns people off from ever trying it again!
Same with rattlesnake! Just grill it and it’s a tough and chewy piece of chicken!
I like the diverse American accents. I think Naill's version of "Dale" was pretty damn accurate.
Didnt know John Cusack was 70 already hes not looking good!
The southern accent originated from the immigrants who fled Ireland in the 1840s during the potato famine that cause 1.5 million to flee to North America.
Scottish immigrants also contributed to the accent as well.
“It’s ba-can.”
“I wish it was ba-can’t.” Something about the exasperation/dread in Seán’s voice killed me🤣
The silence after "I love a good bone" that was freaking hilarious 😂
And then "The... The..." "No. No questions!" 🤣
“Some disassembly required before eating” canned food is brave. Dale is the IKEA of canned meats
I've had both Gator and snake, but they were fresh. I can only imagine how "off" a canned version would taste.
Ive had fresh gator and farm gator from a restaurant, wild caught is much better.
As have I. The gator was very tasty, braised for a long time in a gravy. The rattlesnake was a bit tough(maybe because it was fried, instead).
There were canned alligators, and pickled geese, some vacuum packed camels and some tinpanzees. Some cats and rats and elephants, that surely are corned. The tastiest of all was the unicorn.
You win the internet. And now I’ll be singing this for days!!!! xoxo
Very cute!!!
Thank you.
Best bastardization of The Unicorn Song I've ever had the pleasure of reading... Singing along with... LOL 🤣
This comment made me far happier than it should have. 😂
Props, again, to Dermot in this video. Feed the man reindeer, alligator and rattlesnake and he's cool as ice. Peanut butter. . . pass the bin.
During SERE training (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape), we caught 2Timber Rattlesnakes and were very happy to have them.
So, in case anybody was wondering, fresh rattlesnake is pretty dang good. It has a texture and flavor similar to chicken wings, but with a slightly rubberier chew and a slight tang. I've eaten several rattlesnakes, and I have come to the conclusion that they are best seasoned with salt and wing sauce. Barbecue seasonings and sauce is a close second. Just make it like you do wings and you will love it.
You can get the following 'wierd' meats in Ireland:
* Zebra
* Wallaby
* Crocodile
* Kangaroo
* Ostrich
* Elk
* Camel
* Frogs
* Llama (some native farms here in Ireland)
* Alpaca (some farms here in Wicklow, Donegal)
* Bison (Raised natively in Meath)
* Water Buffalo (actually raised natively here in Cork & Wexford)
And they all taste amazing when cooked right
We got Bison in Ireland?? Hooray!
I've bought frog at the grocery store here in North Carolina. It's pretty good.
@@markbrennan212 I wouldn't call bison meat "weird". Ask Canadians that one.
It would be hilarious if someone started selling snake meat in Ireland, then we could say there are snakes in Ireland?
@@aceundead4750 Sadly, St Patrick did the best job any public servant in Ireland has ever done & removed not only all snakes from Ireland, but ALL historical evidence .... thorough AF that guy LMAO
fresh alligator is actually 10/10 amazing food. there are some restaurants in the everglades that would blow most peoples minds.
I had sautéed alligator in a restaurant in the Everglades. It was amazing!
We get it in MO frozen. I usually make gumbo or gator pie.
I absolutely loved turtle soup. Had it in New Orleans.
If I would hit a lottery jackpot, one of a few MUST DO in my life would be travelling around the world and try local tastes & dishes.
You've convinced me 🫵 - an alligator would be one of them 😅😎
Traditional breaded alligator with a spicy mayo sauce, and Alaskan Reindeer sausage is AMAZING. Please, do a try episode with those types of foods!
I agree, but the cost of shipping those meets Frozen all the way to Ireland, would take up most of their budget.
Fried gator and fried rattlesnake medallions are my favorite food since childhood and crawdads
Two things.
1.) Dermot is my spirit animal (in a can).
2.) Shannon is too adorable to be allowed.
True! :)
LOL
3.) Blaithan is a bore to watch, with zero humour and is often miserable towards her partner....she adds nothing good to the show.....everyone else 👍
Some Elf: "Santa, where is Blitzen?"
Santa: "He is making an appearance in a video on the Try channel!"
Said Santa to his reindeer herd, “ if you can’t fly I have another job for you”.
Is it weird that I can hear Seth McFarlane saying these things like Santa on Robot Chicken?
😂😂😂
Alligator is so good fresh too. Really all the canned meat ya showed is great when fresh, seasoned & cooked well. I eat ALMOST everything.
After enjoying the try channel, I have come to a few conclusions about the cast:
1 Shannon is the kind of person I 'd trust to watch my house while I was on vacation as long as the utilities weren't on.
2. Jaime's laugh makes me forget a lot of painful things
3. Lolsy's observation that "someone who hates Irish people sent this to the channel," should be emblazoned on a t-shirt.
4. Martin strikes me as the owner of a saloon who shows up in the middle of a bar fight demanding to know why people are smashing up his profits.
5. Brian is the kind of guy you'd want alongside you in the aforementioned bar fight.
6. Clisare would FINISH the damn bar fight, all the while wearing a pink unicorn hat.
7. Ciara's drunk exorcist voice has got to be the scariest sound in the solar system.
8. Bláithín is the Eeyore of the Try Channel.
From Wisconsin, never had reindeer, but we have zillions of white-tail deer. We usually pull the tenderloins out when we're gutting it, and fry them up that night, and hoist the carcass in a shed (It's usually cold here in late Nov.) Go out there next morning, take the hide off, cut out the sirloins for steaks, carve around the four legs till you can pop out the ball joint, take the neck for a roast, and the leg meat is either a roast for big pieces, or hamburger/smoked sausage meat for scrap pieces.
All of these options are far better than canning it taste-wise, can't imagine why anyone would want to do that (alcohol- involved decision making, maybe?).
Also, I'm a lumber inspector here, maybe I should already know this about Ireland, do you have maple trees there? I was thinking they were indigenous to N. America. We're like Canada, we have craploads of them, the syrup is usually made from the sugar maple, but red maples and silver maples sometimes also tapped. Bought some last night at the bowling alley, planning on French toast and bacon breakfasts this weekend.
I'll pass on the reptile meat.
Canning meat isn't for flavor, it's to preserve it long term without needing refrigeration. I've never had rattlesnake, but gator is delicious! It's a lot like perch or other mild freshwater fish, but with the firmer texture of chicken.
Summer sausage made with deer is the best you can get.
My uncle used to grill gator he would shoot in his backyard (lived on a Florida lake) and skin them right away. He could make the meat taste like fish, pork, beef, chicken or even bacon. He also always had brand new gator skin cowboy boots.
he sounds like the type of guy who's a riot at parties 😂
I’ve heard that python doesn’t taste all that great, but new boots are stylish.
I'm a vegetarian, but I admire men like your uncle.
Grew up in South Florida and yes we eat gator. I like mine as nuggets lol
You’re lying
Alligator nuggets are delicious
We sometimes get in, properly inspected & edible, canned Canadian Beaver and Prairie Dog(and/or ground squirrel) meat at the specialty section in the grocery store with a proper butcher’s shop inside. They are weird “delicacies.”
I definitely need to keep a lookout for a few cans now.
Come on down to Dale's, we've got every kind of meat in the West! Snake, alligator, gila monster and now - thanks to prop 337 - medical grade peyote lizard! So come on down to Dale's! You've tried the rest, now try the West!
The Dale’s advertisement was hilarious! Having lived in the southeast US, I enjoyed both of the Irish-Southern accents starting at 6:35. 😂
Dale. The meat I just ate is making me hallucinate. I think it was the gila monster.
As an Australian:
a) yes there are millions of kangaroos. And yes they can be eaten. Very heart healthy. Actually pretty tasty.
b) crocodile meat is fine. It's sort of like a chicken/fish hybrid. Crocodile meat in a savoury pie is yum.
C) alligators are not crocodiles
I like alligator meat and frog and steak and ham and watermelon meat too
Also Emu and snake are not bad either.
Alligators and crocodiles aren't the same animal, of course. However, as someone who has eaten alligator a few times I can say that from that description they probably taste pretty similar. The texture is also kinda a cross between seafood and chicken. Almost like a scallop...?
@@SwedishFix 100% like a scallop, most adept description for croc have seen, from and ozzie. In Australia eating kangaroos isnt that common. Beef and lamb are our jam
Canned scares me a littke, but I'll tell you from personal experience both Rattlesnake and Alligator, fresh can be delicious. Alligator I had was fresh and in a Gumbo but the meat had more of the consistency of Maine Lobster, a little chew, but a really nice flavor .
Rattlesnake fresh and grilled I had in Arizona and was served as a meat you could choose for a taco with seasoning and hot sauce was incredibly tasty.
Canned eat scares me
Spam Spam Spam Spam!!
Alligator is amazing. I had it the first time in Banff AB, at the fondue restaurant, seared it up on the hot rock we got and it was so tasty I didn't sully it with the dipping sauces at all. Also had rattlesnake, which was oddly bland, and frog legs which were chewy af
The Grizzly House restaurant
Blaithin was impressed with Dermot's tongue.
Yup
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed
stamp?
Irish people try an HR meeting, lol, I think that meeting is looooonnnggg over due.
Dermot and Blaithin together is always a win
I've never had reindeer or rattle snake, but I've tried alligator a couple of times at local restaurants and liked it.
rattler tastes just like chicken. go to PA during the rattle snake roundup. its made almost any way you can eat it.
My one sister tried alligator and the other tried ostrich. The one that tried alligator didn't like that and I didn't want to try it, but I did agree with the one that tried ostrich because a friend and I tried the ostrich jerky and it was not that great
Umm..so it doesn't taste like swamp?
Reindeer just takes like venison, maybe a bit richer but the flavor is similar.
@@icarusfx wow. That's neat
sorry y’all had to go through that… deep fried gator and rattlesnake are delicious
I'm not. That's why I watch these videos. I'm amused and entertained by their pain.
I like rattlesnake chili and gator etouffee.
@@FriedPi-mc5yt that sounds hella good. You southern as hell
@@matthewkrislow3442 Too Southern for my own good sometimes. 😂
🤣
Don't know about canned alligator, but love fried alligator tail. Never had canned rattlesnake either, but it normally tastes a lot like chicken.
try rattlesnake liquor. the rattlesnake venom really ups the liquor spicyness
I agree about fried alligator. But I’m from South Louisiana. I’ve never actually had canned rattlesnake but I’ve had fried rattlesnake and it tasted like chicken. lol.
When I first I thought the same thing. When I can afford it I go get some
Floridian here. Grew up near the Everglades. One of the bigger differences between canned & cooked is that the canned stuff usually comes from a farm & is cleaner. Changes the taste a lot, for good or bad. Snakes don't eat so much garbage, so canned is usually worse. Gators however eat a ton of garbage if they are from areas near people or a spill (oil, gas, etc.). At least in my opinion.
Omg gator bites ftw
I've had fried gator in New Orleans, and it was delicious, but I don't think I'd like it from a can. Hats off to you for trying the rattlesnake, you all get bravery medals for that!
The Yoder are an Amish people who live in Northern Ohio USA. They make food to sell, wooden furniture that they make themselves, farms tou can visit, and pretty nice hotels for visitors.
Alligator is commonly available in the deep south in the USA.
Have you tried catfish, yet?
I'm ashamed that as a Cajun I've yet to have alligator. I had a chance when I was younger, it was alligator balls. ofc I'd pass that up because I was like "why I eat alligator balls?" 😭
@@chichichichichichiOwO Really now? I'm from the midwest and have gotten my hands on gator a couple times. As much as I hate the phrase "tastes like chicken", they're not wrong. It's a texture thing. Would recommend trying it, just don't spend a lot on the attempt.
I loved Shannon's expression when she heard "alligator." It was like she wanted to sink into the floor.
Yes, canned bacon was in the Canadian army rations in the 1970s. Cold canned bacon in a pop-top can was a genuine treat on a cold day.
Glad the box finally made it!
Thanks so much for sending it in! 😁🙏
Fried gator tail is very common in Cajun restaurants in the south, if/when you guys come back to America its worth a try.
It's an amazing experience and it is delicious. We also got Alligator and pork sausage and some switch out pork with alligator in some gumbos hand made. I'll tell you, mon ami, it's fucking delicious
Fresh gator is delicious. I've eaten home canned gator that was still tasty but I think I'd pass on that commercial canned stuff. It looked awful
And blackened gator is good too. It's the one good thing about the Florida game, gator shows up in the grocery store for a few weeks.
Blaithin's response to Dermot tonguing the rattlesnake is the MOST HILARIOUS.
And Bla talking about wanting Colin’s meat for four years…
So are we just not gonna talk about the stare at Dermot licking the rattlesnake 😂😂😂😂 12:14
"HA ha...I got those punk Irish people!" - Colin as Dale (I have laughed at that line randomly every day since I watched this. Lol)
Ya'll need to go on a food tour where you actually get to eat really good food, interesting food, but really good food. You've earned it.
Alligator is actually very good if prepared properly. I’ve never had it out of the can though.
battered and deep fried gator tail nuggets with a remoulade was my go-to order at the local Cajun/Creole joint that sadly just shut down due to the pandemic :(
@@SentientPickle as a lifelong South Louisiana resident I can verify this is the way.
@@SentientPickle First time I had alligator was at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. From a food stand; I didn't harvest an exhibit.
Had to be fresh or it just gets chewy
I first had some in a restaurant inside a Bass Pro, saw it on the menu and had to try it, been hooked ever since.
Alligator fried is so good.
I’m from Alaska and reindeer is actually amazing to eat, especially as a sausage. One of my absolute favorite breakfast foods. I’ve also eaten Alligator before as Boudin and it was delicious
I had fried rattlesnake a couple of times when I was a Boy Scout. They both wandered into the camp, so they ended up in the frying pan.
Always heard it tastes like chicken. Is that true?
Fried Rattler is soooooo good!!!! But Fried Gator....OMG!!!! Its so bomb!!!!
@@Rivercoon closer to frog
@@Rivercoon I always thought it did….but it has been 20 years since I last had it. Gator is good. Kangaroo is spectacular.
Waste not, want not!
I've had fried gator...not bad...had BBQ'd gator, and it absolutely brilliant!
Canned gator? Hard pass. Love you guys for even trying! LOL 😂
Fried gator tail is delicious
It tastes a lot like lobster 🦞
I dip it in ranch dressing never tried it BBQ 🐊🐊
@@colleens1878 I have had the ribs grilled on the BBQ. I enjoyed them. Only 2 negatives for me. 1. They were super expensive and we had to order In advance at the restaurant because they only had a limited supply.(we missed out the 1st time thinking we could just go in, order, then eat them. But no biggie. Lesson learned. Followed the protocol the next time and were able to reserve two servings.) 2. They were a bit rubbery and sinewy. However the char and flavor of the Gator was delicious. We would most definitely eat Alligator again. Maybe a different cut the next time like the tail or in a gumbo, or Bourdain sausage.🙂🐊 Just don't get me started on Nutria. We didn't enjoy that at all.
I live in Florida, there is a place about a 1/4 mile from me that does Seafood, they serve gator bites which is like popcorn chicken. I have yet to have it cooked on a BBQ grill, but want to.
@@colleens1878 I live in a rural part of N.E. Florida and every fall during gator hunting season we do a gator roast. Same thing as a pig roast, on a spit over an open fire, and its delicious. If you ever get a chance to have BBQ or spit roasted gator definitely give it a shot.
Gumbo with shrimp and gator. Delicious.
Aligator is popular enough in Florida that there are several laws against hunting them and even special licenses required to cull them in pest control.
Collins American immatations is literally King of the hill! Collin, you need to use that impression as you did with the gator in this one and say “dammit Bobby!” 😂
And as a Louisianaian ….. gator cook right is geauxd 💯
Half the time, he sounds American as it is!
I've had fried gator and it was REALLY good. Not sure I'd want it like this with gravy, though... seems weird, LOL.
I've had the deep fried, breaded nuggets, which were good. Like chicken marinated in catfish.
With the canned stuff the question arises whether the gator inside was killed or whether it died ... given the comments about the "ternderness" I tend to believe in a natural death.
Same
I tried it at the Minnesota state fair. Fried alligator nuggets. Had a chicken like texture but taste kinda like fish.
yup, gator is good…basically like chewy chicken
I suggest the "wonderful" world of Northwestern Europe's canned meats. Russia, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands. There are things even Andrew Zimmern won't eat twice.
Isn't that basically fermented fish and sea mammals? :D
yes and reindeer was one of them
@@nozrep I love that joke
Isn't that Northeastern Europe?
@@C3RNDOGRussia, yes. But the dishes I am talking about are the Western Coastal ones.
“This is so sad, I have Reindeer in me”
Sounded so wrong🤣🤣
I love these gals & guys reactions, they’re absolutely brilliant.
4:32: "I have reindeer in me." That's what Mrs. Claus said, followed shortly by, "It's okay, Rudy. He'll be gone all night."
Is it just me, or is Blathin's lemon tattoo just that more vivid today? And, I've had fresh alligator and rattlesnake; both are actually quite tasty.
Probably her sweater making the yellow color pop
We call fried gator "water chicken." Fried, it tastes like chicken nuggets. BBQ is much better and we love it down here!
That is insane to have it with the bone in it. At restaurants it’s deboned. That’s crap.
I've been to a restaurant in Texas that has a tank of live rattlesnakes at the front and you pick one out like at lobster places. I had it fried and it was great!
I actually really like fried rattlesnake. I used to go rattlesnake hunting as a kid and participated in rattlesnake roundups.
The bacon is wrapped in parchment paper then put into the can, the purpose is to keep the slices separated so you can have individual pieces
They said to not eat the snake bones, but I thought perhaps it was like Canned Sardines where you can eat the bones for added calcium. I guess not...but looks like it'd be tough to not eat the bones as it was like 87% bones, lol ~Be Blessed
Used to go to a bar in New Orleans that had alligator poppers. Sort of an alligator equivalent to a chicken nugget. Not too bad, but all the beer before we’d order it might have helped.
Cooked correctly it’s fantastic. but every once in a while you get a piece that is just terrible. I think it has something to do with the way the meat is removed from the tail. and nothing will put you off alligator faster than that.
For our second date, my fiancée took me to a restaurant where I had gator for the first time. It was delicious but this is coming from someone who grew up eating “extreme” food
Rattlesnake and Gator are both served fried in nugget form usually and paired with homemade ranch dressing (that parts important) - both are delicious, chunky, and bone-free. - A Goergia boy from the Okeefenokee.
All kinds of way to eat it but Gator is best cut into small pieces battered and deep fried
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up for support
Been to a place in Colorado that does unusual sausages. I tried Rattlesnake, my wife tried Elk. They were both amazing...and bone-free. :D
Were you at the Buckhorn Exchange? :)
I had rattlesnake cooked over a campfire while camping with my grandpa when I was a kid. It literally just tasted like bbq chicken to me.
@@sama2965 I went to Chaco Canyon with my sister and her family. At the Ranger bonfire, someone asked about rattlesnakes. The ranger said he’s been there for 5 yrs and only saw one rattlesnake. I found it the next day.
Elk isn't a rare find. I grew up in Idaho and elk, deer, bear, cougar and reindeer were common finds at the table. So were duck, geese, wild turkey and pheasant. I also ate a variety of fish
where in Colorado? I'm always down for some exotic meat.
She's spot on. The problem with alligator is the chewy weird texture. And that includes fresh. The flavor is generally acceptable.
Yeah it was the texture that I didn't like. The flavor was acceptable, just the texture turned me off.
Gator has to be marinated, like venison. It's unreasonably tough otherwise.
Dear friend of mine from Louisiana always soaked gator in buttermilk for a while before cooking, drain flour with Cajun spice and fry, it was delicious!
@@juliayoung537 Lets be honest there's close to nothing you can deep fry that isn't going to taste kind of good.
Moose, Bear, Mountain Lion (the other white meat), Aardvark, Possum (in Ireland, O'Possum), Raccoon. Rabbit, Venison, Elk, Dove, Pheasant, Pidgeon, Ostrich, Goanna Lizard, Crocodile, Shark, Whale, Seal, Walrus, Python, Agouti, and Nutria. Of course, there is always 'baby move-over'.
Many years ago I was helping a friend clean out his Great Grandfathers house after he had died. We came across a large can with a whole cooked Chicken inside we figured it was about 40-50 years old. After a few jokes and a dare or two we decided to open it and try some. It looked very strange but smelled OK. So we both ate a piece and while it wasn't great and was quite salty it really wasn't to bad.
I'm half tempted to send the tryers alligator jerky
I think they may have had that before.
We've tried alligator, turtle, shark and rabbit jerky in our Weird Animal Jerky video! 😲 th-cam.com/video/BTVFU73MHtQ/w-d-xo.html
@@TheTRYChannel well I don't know how well fresh alligator would travel but I could send that lol
Rattlesnake is REALLY hard to debone. Before OR after cooking. Also, if you're interested, i have a 10 yr old can of "deep fried possum peckers". Full disclosure, i think it was a gag gift filled with cheetos.
I saw cans of possum peckers before, it was just veinna sausages in a can. Yes it can be used as a gag gift.
Just cut of the rattle and suck.
I have a can of Unicorn Meat. Definitely a gag, it's half the plushie dismembered unicorn, half the label on the can.
Too funny! I have a possum pecker keychain that's made with real baculum aka Arkansas toothpicks lol Nobody ever guesses what they actually are and think I'm lying when I tell them
@@Frecks-n-Specks I remember those my dad had one.
Lmao 😂😂😂 Colin’s perfect southern/Texan accent is so perfect!!! He sounds just like Hank Hill… I’m subscribing just for that!
FYI reindeer are predominantly from Scandinavia where here in Alaska we eat the wild version known as caribou. There are a few reindeer farms here but they are for the tourists mainly.
I’m from South Texas and we have a yearly Rattlesnake Roundup, where they round up rattlers and then they kill and cook them. I’ve never been, but I hear they haven’t had it in a few years cause of COVD and some have protested, saying it’s not ethical. But, I think they wouldn’t be saying that if they’ve ever been bitten by one!
Must be Californians.
Now I don't know if it's even a thing, but if we've got canned moose, canned partridge, and/or canned beaver, I will find it for you! 🇨🇦
Update: canned beaver is, in fact, a thing 😄
you should send them a can.
I anticipate many fine jokes to be made about canned beaver on this channel.
We have canned pork brains. I wonder if they would like them.
@@russellrofe4849 head cheese? That’s the what you ask for at the Can. butchers for (essentially mushed) pig brain.
There’s also a company in Alberta that makes canned Prairie Dog, but I’ve never seen it online anywhere, only locally when passing through to BC.
I love Niall's constant optimism haha
@7:05 The "We can eat it later alligator" shii got me 😂😂😂😂
I’ve had fried alligator before and I can confirm it tastes amazing and tastes kinda like chicken. It’s really good!
Wow! Far more entertaining than I expected! This episode was crawling with puns! I don’t like watching the Tryers get tortured but I had hopes this would be fine and it was better than that! Dermot and Blathin were good together or will be after the HR meeting… all around a very interesting episode!
these irish people are soooo good at the southern accent. I’ve lived in Georgia, Mississippi and Virginia states. It’s pretty accurate.
Im in Florida, not accurate at all.
@@kamiko70 well Florida isn't a southern state so you are right in a sense
@Nicholas Barber Its not? Have you not MET Florida Man?
@@MyBusanEscape Florida man is a thing but they aren't Southern they are there own culture
@@nicholasbarber3600 Everybody wants to put cousin Floridaman in the corner until things pop-off. 😂😂
You guys should try canned insects. I've had them before at a Halloween party and they come in tins just like the exotic meats. Tarantula, Scorpion, and Waterbug were among the ones I sampled.
We actually don't eat a lot of Kangaroo here in Australia. There are more roo products now in the supermarkets, but until the last few years it was really just in more expensive restaurants.
They are a protected native species, rather difficult to farm, and most people don't really look at them and think "food". That being said, demand is increasing, so this may change as time goes on.
In 1999 Kangaroo was all over the tourist spots in Australia, though expensive. I recall hearing it was considered only fit for dog food in the late 1970s. The Jack in-the Box fast food chain got in trouble around 1979 for importing it and mixing it into their hamburgers.
In a group for Australian Cattle Dog owners, I see a lot of people giving their Blues a shank of roo to gnaw on. As an American who has been to a petting zoo outside of Sydney, I shed a tear every time I see it, but I understand.
Is the whole kangaroo eatable or just the tail? I definitely heard of steak from the tail, tho it seems like it would be very tough to eat.
Sounds like the way we do Buffalo (American Bison) here in the states.
@@andirozdzynski4077 Just saw your reply.
You can eat the entire animal, but just bear in mind that it can be very tough. Kangaroos are all muscle, bone and sinew.
For this reason, most restaurants that serve it will serve it borderline raw. I don't like meat that way, so my preference is to slow cook it like rabbit, or use it as mince and sausages.
I have been trying to think of a way of explaining how it tastes, but all I can come up with is "Kangaroo tastes like Kangaroo"; I can't think of anything else that tastes similar.
"I put salt on my French toast." This is a sick individual. Get him help.
Gator done right is right tasty, although it depends on what part of the gator it came from.
Having had rattlesnake (which does taste like chicken), it's not worth the price: ~$24/lb. the last time I checked.
french toast is bread dipped in egg then seared. Do you put salt on your scrambled eggs? I know you do sir. Then you should like salted eggs after they've soaked into bread.
@@Eye_of_a_Texan When I'm making French toast, I use eggs, milk (cream if I'm feeling indulgent), honey, vanilla, and a PINCH of salt. I put butter and syrup (or honey) on it when it's done-not salt. That is my point. The salt goes in it, not on it.
I do indeed put salt on scrambled eggs-as well as pepper and hot sauce, but IMO French toast is not the same as mere scramble eggs.
@@josephhyland8904 Well, the milk is as implied as the salt in my opinion. The honey and vanilla are interesting though.
24 a pound! Damn no wonder we sell rattlesnakes as fast as we can catch em. Never looked at price foreat and skin, we just catch em and take em to our guy
I don’t like maple syrup i just like “syrup” which might be the same thing but taste completely different to me
Ten minutes in, and I'm in absolute tears laughing 😹
I recommend pickled pigs feet in vinegar jelly, pickled hard boiled eggs, pickled Polish sausage. All great American bar treats and still weird as hell.
I love when you all do these...Listening to your accents and humor bring me happiness...Please do more!!!
you're in luck.. they've been doing these every day for about 5 years 😜
They put out videos 3 times a week 👀
In 1975 I was in Finland and eating dinner in Rovaniemi on the Arctic circle watching the midnight sun almost touch the horizon before begin raising again and eating Reindeer Stew! It was delicious!
In Dallas Texas there is a restaurant called "The Y O Ranch Restaurant". It is primarily and Game Food Restaurant. They raise all the game animals on their own ranch. The food is wonderful. Try them if you are ever in Dallas.
2:45 if you don't like maple syrup its probably because you're actually talking about breakfast syrup.
As a Canadian I have to say after Seán MacGabhann dissed maple syrup we are going to have to vote that he has to be on all the remaining durian shoots...FOREVER!
nice Cold Ones shirt, Colin! And great video!
It's a funny little character. I like that little fella.
Felt so sorry for the two girls in this shoot, but really enjoyed their reactions. Great job folks!
This bar near me used to sell a 'dirty south' burger which had blackened gator, crawfish, beef, spicy Creole sauce, just perfect.
As a Floridian, I can confirm that we eat gator! Its not super, super common, but it is tasty. Fresh gator nuggets are amazing!
Dale's a friendly guy who's always glad to meat you.....
Weird stuff, questionable humor and good pairs make for grand entertainment - thanks!
I see what you did there. :)
Arizona girl here. I had rattlesnake once as a kid. It almost got me stepping out of a motor home. Adult killed and cooked it. I tried it and adults shared it. I got the rattle as a souvenir. 🐍
Blaithin- "Like nothing I've ever tasted or will taste again"... Colin- "Challenge accepted"

They did a gumbo video years ago when it was that "other " channel
To do it justice, they'd need to bring in a competent cook to prepare it. I can put together some stuff from a Zatarain's box, but it's not very authentic...
Gator and Snake are fantastic grilled or put in a nice spiced stew or Jambalaya type dish, definitely better fresh but canned isn't any worse than Kippers or Mackerel in the tin, should eat them with a good cracker or a small square of bread, or take it from the can and mix it with a soup.
Reindeer is awesome too, also the Norwegian Winter Military Ration has a Reindeer dish that's fantastic, been wanting more of them. Also great as a jerky or beef stick much like Elk when not eaten as a steak or meatball.
I’m not Cajun but I’m from the south and do quite enjoy fried rattlesnake and alligator. In Texas tho where I live it’s not as common so I hope to try it more often in the future :)
Colin, bravo on the Hank Hill impression.
Love Bla's southern accent
