see for yourself...
No. I'm not joking.
No. I'm not joking.
As I sit here comfy in my room, this poor, doomed iguana sleeps in a yellow bucket in the front yard. He has no idea this is his last night on earth. I seriously feel really bad. BUT... they (some local men) caught this wild iguana and are eager to cook it for us. It's not an uncommon meal here, so what can I say? Adios Iguana.
***UPDATE***
Just moments ago the iguana escaped from the bucket and ran through the backyard and disappeared into the vegetation.
The Good News: No iguana for dinner.
The Bad News: There's an iguana running free outside of my house.
***UPDATE AGAIN***
Nevermind, they just found him and brought him back. ARG.
Awww. Poor iguana... But at least let us know what it tastes like!:)
ReplyDeleteHum... I wonder if it tastes like chicken? That's what rabbit tastes like =)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Poor Iguana!! I had a pet Iguana growing up and wow never would have though that people eat them!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I did think you were joking, lol. I can just see myself sneaking out to free the iguana in the middle of the night... naw, I don't think I really would. ;-) I'm curious to know what it tastes like and how it's going to be prepared!
ReplyDeleteI am speechless....and very intrigued to see how you liked it.
ReplyDeleteHmmm - when traveling I always try to eat the local fare so I would try it but the thought it not appealing! Let us know how it tastes :)
ReplyDeleteYour kidding! Since I'm one of the pickiest eaters in the world... Hmmm... I don't think I would do that.
ReplyDeleteLet us know what it taste like.
Poor iguana, and he's so cute! I never would've thought of people eating them. You'll have to let us know what you think!
ReplyDeleteDo you have ketchup? I would think that would help with the first bite ;0P

ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing (and hilarious)range of issues you deal with in the course of the day. Can't wait to hear about the final fate of your iguana. Oh to be a fly on the wall!
ReplyDeleteYou are BRAVE! lol I wont touch anything besides chicken and fish! lol
ReplyDeleteWauuu.
ReplyDeleteI'am happy for iguana :-))
Oh, poor thing!!! I was all happy when I read that he escaped only to be sad when he was caught again. I would never be able to survive in the wild because I'd feel too bad for all the animals, lol.
