Sometimes you find a single line in another's writing that makes you just wanna slap yer grandmaw.
Doug Giles, in an article entitled 'PETA is full of SHEETA', contains one of those lines.
"Through stealth research, spending tens of dollars (not to mention several acid trips in which they personally interviewed many fish), the wizards at PETA have concluded that fishing hurts the fish."
During my own decade of militant vegetarianism and membership in PETA, I once had a lengthy conversation with an orange and purple snake on a mountain trail in North Georgia. My religious dedication to the cause was renewed.
Sometime after my reintroduction to the human race in Texas, I had the opportunity to return to Georgia for an unrelated matter. I took the time to revisit that mountain trail and look up that snake. Surprisingly, he was no longer of the same coloration. He must've gotten his scales dyed or something. I invited him to lunch and he was very tasty, not the fine flavor of Texas rattler, mind you, but very filling. MMmmm... Monster Thickburger!

Haven't had a chance to try snake yet but would like to just for the "I did it value."
I have tried alligator and kangaroo at a wild game feed (Julie's Friendly Tap on Rockport Rd) years ago. Both are quite good, although the kangaroo was a little tough.
Actually, I've never had snake, either (Or a Monster Thickburger for that matter). But I added some fiction to make a better story.
