I think you might have discovered the next sequel to Jurassic Park:
Giant food conglomerate realizes it can sell dinosaur meat on the cheap, and attempts to breed dinosaurs as a bulk chicken substitute! Horror ensues when they realize it’s not as simple as it sounds.

Pop a poppler in your mouth when you come to Fishy Joe’s. What they’re made of is a mystery. Where they come from no one knows. You can pick 'em, you can lick em, you can chew 'em, you can stick 'em; if you promise not to sue us, you can shove one up your nose.

So, no: they would likely taste better.
Btw, seems like US food generally has less flavor.
7 monthsI heard so often that it does, but I have had alligator gumbo and it did NOT taste like chicken at all. Much closer to fish. And dirt.

Crocodile does taste somewhere between chicken and fish IMO, so alligator is likely similar.

Yes, this is spot on. There are definitely ways to cook it that can help ease home of that gamer-ness. I had alligator nuggets in Florida and really enjoyed them.

Ah shit. Gamers are delicious. They’re so salty from all their crying that they make for a nice savory snack!
On a serious note—I thought I changed it, but autocorrect wins. I’m leaving it.

I think of gator tasting like chicken, but with a hint of fish. Put that way it sounds revolting, but I do love it.
