Restaurants that serve snakes?

Are there any restaurants in Dublin that serve snakes? I really want to try one but cannot find a place that does them?

Cheers

There are no snakes in Ireland.

Saint Patrick saw to that.

Yeh, St Patrick and his big stick

They usually don't let you in if you're legless.

Maybe try Abrakebabra.

obvious joke is obvious

You must be loaded if you can afford to bring your snakes out to eat.

Damn Lumen beat me to the crap joke

Fagan's in Drumcondra have pub grub for snakes

easyeason3 · 25-01-2011 10:13PM

Why would anyone want to try snake?

*shudders*

Theres an outdoor restaurant called 'The Zoo' but you have to catch and cook it yourself...

A priest once told me they tasted like chicken.

Then told me to close my eyes and do a blind taste test.

... It did not taste like chicken.

A priest genuinely did tell me it tasted like chicken, he tried it while on missionary work apparently

I know of a restaurant that serves Rattlesnake, but it's not in Dublin.

depends on where you go, a lot of places reserve the right to refuse admission

Aer Lingus?

Mc Donald's, I would say. Just look inside them burgers

it wasnt in Dublin but my brother ate snake in vietnam and drank snake blood- said it wasnt too bad...but yuk!!

I have a snake. It is very slow growing and quite antisocial.

This leads me to believe that farming snakes would be cruel and/or unprofitable, and that catching wild snakes is probably endangering them. Either way, it doesn't sound very sensible to be going after snakes to eat.

.......The giraffe falls over. The man goes to leave and the bartender says, "Oi. You can't leave that lyin' there." And the man says, "No. It's not a lion.......

Dáil restaurant

I read once that anaconda was tasty. But I doubt you'd find them here.

Yup, better get a ticket to Vietnam, you can go for a snake-y feast where they skin the snake alive and a lucky person gets to try the heart, yum! They make some sort of hooch with the blood, it'd floor ya!

There's always a load of snake skins in the alleyway beside The George, so I'm guessing they do

Any restaurant you go into that deal with Pallas foods ask them to order it for you - Be warned tho - It's €78.00 a kilo.

So for a dish of rattlesnake you'll be looking at the €60 or €70 quid + Mark!
