But the iguana I ate in Trinidad was the weirdest thing in taste and origin I ever ate...

Well, Dave, living in Texas, you must be familiar with the delicacy that Texans
call "calf fries" and other parts of the American West refer to as
"Rocky Mountain Oysters."

Pretty good, actually. But then almost anything fried tastes pretty good.

I used to go eat them at a place called, I am not making this up,
"Betty's Truck Stop" which was in fact, a truck stop.

Also, some of the "good ol' boy"-type fraternities will hold a "Calf Fry" as a
fundraiser occasionally. And, yep, they are only serving a small portion
of the overall animal. And said animal was probably unhappy to be separated
from said portion!
