Steam?

Shrap

Brain out of order!
Hi guys and gals,

I've been thinking (uh oh!) would a steamed mouse be edible for a snake Because steamed veggies are better for us so I could by better for them.

I did not know you could get peyote on the other side of the pond, I thought it was exclusive to the Southwestern US.
 
If you do steam one you know you have to eat one first to make sure.


Would snakes get steamed mice in the wild? I dont think so. And where did mice become just like veggies? How often do people steam meat...
Just dont do it, unless you plan on eating it yourself since most likely the snake will not touch it, and if its still hot you could seriously injure the snake.
 
Raw vegetables are more nutritious than steamed vegetables, therefore it stands to reason that raw mice are more nutritious than steamed mice. Stick with what works.

Well, nutritionists tell us that thoroughly-chewed food is better for us than under-chewed food. So you may want to try chewing up your mice completely before offering them to your snake. *gag*

man oh man, you guys should have saved this for April Fool's Day!

I want to know what kind of a setup you have that will allow you to steam a frozen mouse. Just out of morbid curiosity, how the heck would you get that job done?
 
Ok, but seriously guys. Let's say you had to eat one of your f/t's (insert your own unlikely scenario here)... How would you want to prepare it?

I'd have to go battered and fried.

Obviously!

Battered and fried is clearly the best option. My husband's a trained chef, and the saying in the restaurant kitchens is, "Shoe leather's best when fried golden brown." :crazy02:

(In other words, if you've just destroyed some customer's meal, dump it in the fryolater for the dishwasher to eat later.)

Hey. Aren't rodents an excellent source of Vitamin K? There's some cheffing commentary regarding that idea too.

just like my dove breasts.................split open (butterflied) with a jalapeno slice inserted inside and wrapped with a strip of bacon. throw that puppy (not literally) on the grill and pop open a beer. of course it would take about 15-20 to fill you up so you better have at least an 18 pack of beer while cooking.

Butterflying feeders is an excellent test of knife skills. Someone needs to send a suggestion to Top Chef to include it in an upcoming challenge.

Moose buffet! Tonight on Top Chef!

If I HAD to eat a F/T I'd want it to be a pinky - and to be honest, raw and unadulterated or with a light coating of melted garlic butter would probably be easiest... because I'd be swallowing it whole.

Chewing up something with its guts still in? No thanks!

Cool! Where did he go to school? I did the Le Cordon Bleu program in Pasadena... Never done anything with it since (including when I cooked in the Army :puke01: At least they paid my student loans!).. But I had so much fun in culinary school!
 
Can you imagine battered and deep fried pinkies, I bet they would be pretty good, especially with some gravey. Reminds me of chicken gizzard and hearts deep fried.
 
He graduated from Culinary Institute of America, worked at Commander's Palace for a short period (just after Emeril left), worked at a four star hotel, and then in a few smaller upscale restaurants in San Francisco. Eventually the verbal abuse, long hours, drug addictions and general nastiness took its toll. He started investigating meat production, charcuterie, and general butchering. Worked for a number of years at a natural meat company (butchering, packing, sales, and quality control) and then recently started his own high end organic and all-natural meat market in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I know many more graduates of culinary programs who stay out of kitchens than I do graduates of culinary programs who are cheffing. It's a really nasty scene.
