The Wild Gourmet
Ask him and he will tell you
that snake and frog taste just like chicken.
On the whole if grilled, crickets, locusts, grubs
and earth worms all taste petty much
like chicken.
Coyote, water rats and porcupine
when sautéed with arrow leaf and fennel
almost duplicate the texture and flavor
of fried chicken.
Sea slugs stuffed with gecko eggs
make an elegantly complex concoction
so redolent of chicken,
but then ask him and he will also tell you
that he does not care much -
for chicken.
