Yesterday, after watching the Buckeyes beat on Akron, I went over to the Black Swamp Arts Festival to get some lunch from one of the many vendors. As soon as I got there I saw a friend of mine stumbling out of the festival. I told him I was getting some food and he strongly recomended the Gator Basket.
At first, I thought "Oh sweet, I've never had gator before, and how appropriate for the Black
Swamp," and then I started having second thoughts, and thought of three solid reasons why I shouldn't get the fried gator bites.
1. I hate alligators. They are cold blooded, cold hearted reptiles that kill people all the time.
2. It probably tastes like a swamp or an aquarium.
3. I am still sour about the Gator's dual NCAA championship victories last year.
And then my good companion opened my eyes. All of the reasons I hade for not eating the gator are the real reasons why I should eat the gator.
I should eat the gator for all the alligator biten victims in the world. I should bite back and not let my prejudices stand in the way of exploring new tastes. So I ordered the Gator Basket.
Sure enough it didn't taste like the Everglades, it was really pretty good. Yeah, most things fried do taste good and I would hate to say it tastes like chicken, but alligator meat really does taste like chicken, chewy chicken.
So eating the gator didn't just taste good, it felt good too.
I am not sure of this claim of mine but I have read that alligators are harmless and the most shy among all reptiles. They eat and bite probably because they, too, gets threatened by us people. And the more we build that hatred for these poor creatures, the more they would become aggressive too.
