    I just returned from Australia and discovered the delight of crocodile meat. Also had kangaroo and emu. But I say croc is king. After some initial research, I can't find anyone in Chicago who serves it. Does anyone know of a place that serves it?

    Is there a difference between crocodile and alligator meat?
    GNR Cajun Connection in Utica serves fried alligator.
    Also, I live very close to Raw Bar but haven't been. They list online a tapas dish of alligator "With tarragon wild mushroom sauce". Mixed reviews on this place elsewhere, not much I could find on LTH.

    You can get vibora de cascabel (rattlesnake) as well; why not try the North American versions of your Oz experimentation.
