Snakes Alive not for me

I put Daisy in charge of selecting our choice of venue and style of food. we walked up and down debating local cuisine, southern or northern. Not quite understanding Daisy we went into one of the eateries, and she explained this could be a little expensive because it was a delicacy. I thought she said snake, but assumed it was something else.

Oh no, sure enough, it is like selecting your lobster, you go to the cage and pick your snake.

I am not kidding, I went pale and suggested we gave the delicacy a miss.

There were about 4 species in the cage. The owners mentioned that they were poisionous, I was not sure if they all were poisonous or just some of them. Note the cage is well secured. Daisy explained that because they are cold blooded, they bring some sort of medicinal benefit, and they bleed a lot when killed and are quite messy.

Settled for a more mainstream feed a few doors down. The eateries, have laminex tables, no English signage, but the food was delicious washed down with a plastic cup of boiling water.
