I've never eaten rattlesnake. I always wondered if it tastes like chicken too?

I have had it and if you didn't know what it was, it does taste like chicken. Not exactly like chicken but close enough.

Damn , I love the fall , but those pesky little critters sure move around this time of year. you constantly have to watch where you're walking. And the damn tarantulas are every where too. I hate those worse.

I do, and it tastes damn close to chicken.

Spicy Rattlesnake Pasta

3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 28 oz can Italian tomatoes
1 dried hot red chilies, minced
1 tbsp. oregano
2 tsp. dried basil
2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. salt
juice from 1/2 lemon
1/2 lb. rattlesnake meat
1 lb penne or pasta of choice

Simmer rattlesnake in water and lemon juice for 1 hour, remove and separate meat from bones.

Combine de-boned meat with the rest of the ingredients (except pasta) in large saucepan and simmer for 1/2 hour.

Cook pasta as normal and serve over cooked pasta.

Cool thanks. I just saute them in a little herb butter with some garlic. Ia m going to keep that for when I go back to Oregon.

Oh and I hate rattlesnakes. The only things those bastards are good for (other than mixed in with pasta) is making a fine set of boots.
