Does snake taste more like eel or more like chicken?

 

Certainly not like any eel I've eaten. Closer to chicken but not really chicken-like either. I think they taste like snakes! 

 

Texturally, like chicken but, depending on the variety, snake is gamier. That said most chickens today don't taste like chicken. 

 

Sorry, not a very helpful answer, I know, but I feel that this habit of comparing the taste of so many things to chicken is rather meaningless. Frogs don't taste to me like chicken either. They taste like frogs. 

 

Thanks for the story. No rattlesnakes here, but I knew they are edible.
