POLL ANSWERS

My brother caught a rattlesnake when we were too young to know better. He also caught a bat, an iguana, and a bunch of other creepy crawly things: crawdads, toads, frogs, garter snakes, etc.

We never thought about eating it. But, we should have because we were poor - Mom and Dad had nine kids.

The only after effect - of Todd catching the snake - was Mom going crazy, she was screaming and hooting and hollering. It's amazing Todd didn't get bitten, the snake was probably too scared of what Mom would do to him.

KIM KASCH

=======================

* I did not catch the rattler myself
*It was barbequed at a tailgate picnic, before an Oakland As baseball game, out in the ..Coliseum parking lot
*Chicken, but a little sweeter
*Chicken-ish
*The aftereffect was that I did not have to spend $10 on a toxic hot dog during the game!

Sara-Lynne Simpson

=======================

* No. My dad brought some rattlesnake meat back from the annual Little Sahara State Park rattlesnake round-up one year when we lived in Oklahoma.

* Sauted in a pan, I think.

* It tasted a little like frog meat that I'd eaten once when my brother and his friend brought back frogs they had captured. (also in Oklahoma

* A bit rubber-y

* An unpleasant taste in my mouth--I really only took a small bite.
(barfing counts!)

* I guess I'd rather eat a rattler than see one, and I really don't want to eat one again. And I'm happy to say that I've never run into a rattler in person--outside of a zoo.
