After the snake
has gone through the butchering process in the butcher shop, the
meat is shipped to the Bite-a-Snake Cafe' where it is battered
and fried. The Cafe' is open only for the Rattlesnake Derby and
only serves fried snake meat. Now, the snake meat is served with
a piece of bread and your choice of a drink. Some say that snake
meat tastes like chicken; others say it tastes like fish. Well,
in our opinion snake meat tastes like snake!
The Mangum
Mounties run the Bite-a-Snake Cafe'. The Mounties receive a
portion of the funds earned in order to finance all their
efforts. The Bite-a-Snake Cafe' opens and closes based on the
flow of customers. However, normally, they close before dark.
After watching a
snake get processed in the Butcher Shop, you can go next door
and have snake for dinner. Snake meat is extremely boney and we
strongly suggest that you use caution when eating it. A
choking hazard may exist for small children. The best meat of
the snake is located along its spine. We wouldn't call a piece
of snake a "meal" but it sure is a tasty snack.
