growing up, my mom n dad were best friends with a guy who owned a wild game restaurant called buffalo jacks. Unfortunately, they made me go with them bunches. I thought I was playing it safe sticking to the burgers (found out years later that they were all buffalo meat), but they always tried gator, rattlesnake, and various other creepy crawlies  :xx
