How to: Prepare & cook a snake

Sometimes, when you are in the bush or desert and there is nothing else to eat you have to catch everything you can to survive. Of course you can go vegetarian and try to eat some berries or grass but you come at a point that you need some protein. If you don’t have any equipment, still, a snake is an easy catch. They don’t run or hop away like other any animals if you appear. But, some are venomous and Australia has more venomous snakes as any other country in the world. so you better be sure with what kind of snake you are dealing with. For beginners, the safest one to go after is a Python which are very common and also not venomous. still, you don’t like to get bitten by one of those, they can have dirty germs from rats or mouses and it probably will hurt as hell.  

After you found a nice Python the first thing to do is chop his head of. A machete is a good tool for this job. 

A python is not a good solution to still your hunger if you are already starving to death. After you’ve chopped of his head the snake keeps on moving for another 5(!) hours. not those aftershocks what happens with other animals but it looks like the snake is still alive and you get the feeling that his head can grow back any moment now. if you pick him up, he starts to strangle your arm, not so strong, but still scary. so hang up the snake and wait.

When he is really dead cool the snake in the fridge (if possible). now the first thing to do is get rid of skin. A python has nice thin skin on his belly so this the place where you want the cut. make a cut from the head to the tail and rip the skin off.

Take the guts out and cut of the tail before his asshole.

Chop the snake into pieces use some pepper and salt egg and breadcrumb to finish. Throw the parts on the BBQ and fry them nicely goldbrown and crispy. be sure you’ve fried them long enough so you don’t have to worry about germs and strange infections you might get.

Bon appetit! Snake tastes like fish and chicken and has a very strong structure. with an large central nerve system.

Killing spree!

Some people might feel offended by the upcoming series of me discovering the wildlife and rural side of Australia. Some posts content pictures of unusual or offending activities for western people who lives in a city and always have lived in a city. But in some parts of this country these activities are necessary to survive. Sometimes to protect their main income source and sometimes as a source of food. These animals have had a better life as those you are consuming.
