Spices probably would've helped a lot. <br /><br />The restaurant we ended up at tonight was really just a glorified sports bar with a "Cajun"-themed menu (and name - Cajun Tail). The Gator Balls I had were genuine alligator meat, but they ended up tasting much like the popcorn fried chicken you can get at KFC in Taiwan. Whatever distinctive flavor alligator meat has was probably deep-fried right out of it!Kaminogehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925637671913689331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497220891386919340.post-4454184302480669792012-09-09T11:32:19.095+08:002012-09-09T11:32:19.095+08:00That looks like an interesting trip!

I tried aboriginal mountain boar (served with spices - including a lot of what I think was cumin - along with yellow and red peppers) on long barbecue sticks. Really tasty. I'd say it's one of, if not the best food I've had in Taiwan. I will definitely eat some again, given the chance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907060405795620941noreply@blogger.com
