Joe, don't feel bad. I cannot stand the flavor of popcorn, watermelon, or oranges. You can have those, and I'll have more bananas!

Can't stand watermelon(or canteloupe) either... seriously messed up individual am I. And, yes I do eat a lot of beef, and some pork... and every now and again deep fried breaded gator tail.

Ok, can't say that I have ever had gator, but that actually sounds really good.

Is there a gator farm in IL? I've only had gator in FL.

Made a peanut butter banana sandwich for lunch.
No not the "Staybrite version , the fried one".
I think so now and then I make an other peanut butter banana sandwich and will try the fried version.

Very cool, so you tried the "uncooked" version, now you just gotta fry one for lunch next time.

Yep, I tried the üncooked"version.
Next time is the "Staybrite version" on the menu.

Not to my knowledge. When I lived in Alabama, a friend of mine and I frequented a Cajun eatery in Huntsville. You could get a pound or batter-dipped, deep fried gator tail and hot sauce for CHEAP! And, they made a pretty mean shrimp sandwich, too. Man, I miss the South!

A gator tail ?
Is that the tail of an aligator?

Oh man shrimp sandwich, I haven't had one of those since I was in San Francisco more than 10 years ago.

(yes RockerVu2, they are talking about real aligator tails, sounds crazy huh?)

Awwww , ewwwwwww gator tails, I think I'll pass.

Eww I'm with you on this one Yvonne!

In parts of Canada, mostly around Quebec and Ottawa you can get beaver tail. But this type of beaver tail is just a really delicious bread deep fried with cinnamon and icing and other tasty treats on it, not a real beaver tail. So I assumed the same of the gaitor tails lol and now I've lost my breakfast appetite!

Sounds a little like an Elephant Ear, they sell those at our fairs. All it is a large flat peice of fried dough, you can get it topped with jam or with butter, sugar and cinnamon. I think it gets it name because it looks kind of like an Elephant's Ear.

Tastes like chicken with a different texture!

That sounds better, but I don't think I can buy gator tales here for supper.

Tasted like a pork chop to me, but hey, I've got a strange set of taste buds.

We just call those "funnel cakes" here in the south. They are batter squeezed into a deep vat of hot grease. When they are cooked, we coat them with powdered sugar. My wife loves them, but I don't really care for those.

Now with all those strage food I can't say I'm hungry.

Arteries are over-rated. Eat what you want, die young, and make a pretty corpse.

Alligator may taste that way to me now. I was still in high school when I had it and my mom's pork may have tasted like chicken. She wasn't the best cook.

Not quite the same (we have funnel cakes too). The Elephant Ear is a flattened dough, and the funnel cakes are like fried waffel batter. But yes very much the same artery clogging goodness.

Words to live by, Bro!!!

I'm living the dream, Joe!!!

Can't believe this thread is still alive.

Oh by the way our state fair is in full swing and my daughter is working there. Last night she brought home an Elephant Ear for her brothers. Problem is they left it sitting on the table and I ate half of it.

It shows you Gary what a wonderful thread this is.
