The lizard

To be precise,  a Monitor lizard, a massive reptile with a strong tail and really polka-dotted skin.]According to the Wikipedia page, people in Malaysia and India eat monitor lizard because they believe it is an aphrodisiac…. Well wasn’t exactly aroused I stood over the pot, spooning out ladles of pepper stew and big chunks of lizard. I am an adventurous eater though, so I took the lizard head on. First I slid the skin off (set that aside for later), then deboned the thing, then pulled off the pieces of meat. It actually tasted like chicken. It was tender like chicken and didn’t have any sort of reptile-y taste. Overall it was a good experience, and now I can say I’ve tasted lizard.
