    Yeah, I don't see myself trying python either. Though I suppose if it's safe to eat and people like it that it's a good way to deal with them since they became an invasive species here in Florida. We did the same thing lionfish.

    Yeah, people have been catching and eating lionfish for some time now here in Florida. Invasive lionfish are delicious — but is it safe to eat them? Believe it or not... while they look ugly as hell... it's probably one of the best-damned fish you'll ever eat as far as flavor. Just be careful when you're filleting it due to the spines.

    Oh yeah, I've seen those before. Never tried them though since I don't know any place that sells them here in Florida.

    Knowing my friends I'll probably get roped into eating them if they become popular. Like deep-fried rocky mountain oysters... yep... once you get over the mental block of what part of the bull you're eating you realize they're very tasty.

    When my dad was a teen, my grandpa gave him a pint of bull's blood to drink. My dad did the same when i was a teen.

    But one thing my dad likes to eat that I will never eat is bull's testicles. :puke: 

    He starred in Men in Black 3.

    Really that's all it took. There was a story that came out last week about an elderly man that was beaten to death with an oxygen tank because he was praying.
