âWhatâs next⊠alligator?â
âŠFunny you should ask.
Weâve actually got it.
At McClendonâs Old Fashioned Meats.
Not weird. Not wild. Just a lean, mild meat that eats easy â somewhere between chicken and pork.
But this isnât new.
Alligatorâs been on the menu for generations down south â especially in Louisiana, where Cajun cooking turned it into a staple. Fried gator bites, sausage, gumbo⊠it all started as practical, use-what-youâve-got cooking and stuck around because itâs actually good.
Fun fact â it was even eaten during Lent in some places, since it was considered closer to fish than red meat.
đ„ Fry it
đ„ Blacken it
đ„ Toss it in tacos and donât tell anyone what it is until after
Half the fun is watching people realize they like it.
đ Limited supply â come grab some before it crawls off.
