...is officially the weirdest thing I have ever eaten.
For Kev's birthday, his sister got him the Gift of Jerky, a three-month membership in the Jerky of the Month Club. Such an awesome gift idea. I had no idea there was such a thing, but there is, and if you want to know more, you can visit jerky.com to read all about it. So, a couple of days ago, a big white envelope arrived from jerky.com. No surprise there. But what was IN the envelope was very surprising. Alligator jerky. Nope. Didn't expect that.
Well, in the spirit of setting a good example for getting Daphne to try new things, I, one of the most unadventurous eaters you will ever meet, decided that - in spite of everything in my head and in my heart telling me to please not eat a poor helpless, probably really yucky, alligator - I would eat an actual piece of alligator jerky today. And I did. And even though I still feel a little queasy when I let myself start really thinking about it, if I am to be honest, I have to tell you it tasted quite good. In fact, alligator jerky, and I'm not even kidding, tastes like chicken. Very sweet. Like the sesame chicken I always get from our favorite local Chinese place.
So there you go. I ate alligator jerky. I'd have totally bet against that ever happening.
