Fancy finding this in your kitchen

Skin and clean it carefully, cut into cubes and season well with Italian herbs, red onions, chilli powder, salt and pepper.
Best cooked in a slow cooker, add bacon pieces for the last hour. Delicious with light Pepper sauce, Pommes au Gratin and fresh green beans.

... and no, not Fava beans. :smug1:

Ya gotta catch it first
 
Hopefully I will have a snake in my kitchen if my grandchildren get to python they want. Granny has said she will pay for it, and they promised to bring it up to show me if they buy it. If this happens, I promise to have photo taken of it round my neck and will post it on this forum.:D
 
I've had some small ones get into the house, and a shovel over the head did them in just fine. Would freak out if I saw one like that! :eek:

I'm afraid I'd have a hole in the microwave from the shotgun blast.

Justme, do you really think a snake is a good pet? Apparently a lot of people in Florida used to think so.

For me it would be a great pet. I would keep a snake if I could stomach what it eats, which is apparently rats and mice, albeit dead ones. As I am phobic of those vermin, dead or alive, I won't keep a snake. I have settled for a tarantula spider, which is an easy pet to look after. When the kids were young we had dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and even goats. But I usually ended up looking after the things, so I put my foot down and said, 'No more!"

Have to be careful where you put your foot down with a Tarantula in the house Justme. :laugh:
I accidentally trod on one my 'guest' Huntsman spiders once, poor Charlie. It took weeks before another one moved in to take over the territory and do the insect control job.

As the spider is kept securely in a tank and can't get out, that isn't a problem.

Good lord, we truly are at the opposite ends of the universe!!:eek:mg:

But hey, whatever floats your boat!
 
Reminds me of The Banana Slug Club popular here among the redwoods. To become a life member (every boy's dream) one must pick-up and kiss a banana slug. Easy. But, this big yellow monster ain't no slimy banana slug. So, I'll pass . . .

My kids all went to Outdoor Ed in the Redwoods (La Honda,CA) and yes,they all had to kiss a banana slug!
 
One morning, when I was about 12, I was walking to the bus stop to catch the bus to school, when I discovered a grass snake on our country lane. I picked it up, put it around my neck and walked on to the stop. Waiting to catch the same bus was my Great-Aunt and a friend, they took one look at me and ran away, missing the bus. When I got home that evening I was in the deep proverbial with my father, her nephew. She had complained about my behaviour. Still it was worth it, I still giggle about the incident all these years later.:D
