    Are there any restaurants in Dublin that serve snakes? I really want to try one but cannot find a place that does them?

    Cheers

    There are no snakes in Ireland.

    Saint Patrick saw to that.

    They usually don't let you in if you're legless.

    Maybe try Abrakebabra.

    obvious joke is obvious

    You must be loaded if you can afford to bring your snakes out to eat.

    Damn Lumen beat me to the crap joke

    A priest once told me they tasted like chicken.


    Then told me to close my eyes and do a blind taste test.


    ... It did not taste like chicken.




    A priest genuinely did tell me it tasted like chicken, he tried it while on missionary work apparently

    I know of a restaurant that serves Rattlesnake, but it's not in Dublin.

    depends on where you go, a lot of places reserve the right to refuse admission

    I have a snake. It is very slow growing and quite antisocial.

    This leads me to believe that farming snakes would be cruel and/or unprofitable, and that catching wild snakes is probably endangering them. Either way, it doesn't sound very sensible to be going after snakes to eat.

    I read once that anaconda was tasty. But I doubt you'd find them here.

    Yup, better get a ticket to Vietnam, you can go for a snake-y feast where they skin the snake alive and a lucky person gets to try the heart, yum! They make some sort of hooch with the blood, it'd floor ya!

    There's always a load of snake skins in the alleyway beside The George, so I'm guessing they do

    Any restaurant you go into that deal with Pallas foods ask them to order it for you - Be warned tho - It's €78.00 a kilo.

    So for a dish of rattlesnake you'll be looking at the €60 or €70 quid + Mark!

    No since it's illegal in Ireland.
    Are there any restaurants in Dublin that serve snakes? I really want to try one but cannot find a place that does them?
