American Snakes

[Radge]

Despite being a UK citizen, I have seen North American snakes in their natural setting. Unfortunately I had to 'stick the heid' on a Diamond Back and a Prairie Rattler in South Dakota, I was doing voluntary work with the Sioux YMCA and the snakes were a threat to our young wards, so it was either bitten wee Lakota or deid snake. The Prairie Rattler was a fine specimen and we ended up eating it. It was skinned, gutted and cooked by my mate Sean. A London Scotsman and a London Irishman eating a sauteed snake in the middle of South Dakota washed down with Snapple(!)
