Fried alligator sandWiCh
Fried alligator sandwich! Hello & happy Friday. I’ve been wanting to try out making a different type of meat, and I thought alligator would be a great place to try since it’s very easy to prepare. I originally was going to make a po’boy but I forgot to get some lettuce and tomatoes! So it’s just a regular sandwich now but that’s ok because it was still delicious. I’ve only eaten one so far but I’ll be coming for the second one momentarily. For the alligator meat I cut it with my shears, and prepared a coating with breadcrumbs, cornstarch, and flour. I also used a little bit of egg to help keep the coating on and so far so good ( I don’t feel sick yet). I always have pickles around so I added them as well as an old bay mayonnaise. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do should you make this. Thank you for reading and Happy Holidays!
