“BIG”
Texas Rattlesnake
Watch for the ‘big’ one next time you’re out in tall grass…
A reminder that these creatures are actually out there.
No matter what you believe, sometimes they should get not only
prescriptive rights to be there, but the full right of way…
Things really are bigger in Texas!
This 9 feet, 1 inch -
97 pound rattlesnake was found at the J & S Quik Mart located
south of RR 3014 Turnoff on Highway 281 south of Tow, Texas (just west of
Burnett, Texas)
And here's how to cook 'em...
DEEP-FRIED RATTLESNAKE
1 medium-sized rattlesnake (3-4 lbs.), cut into steaks
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup cracker crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
Mix dry ingredients. Whisk milk into beaten egg and use to dip snake steaks.
Then coat them with dry ingredients. Fry, uncovered, in 400 degree oil until
brown.
yum, yum!
