A Recipe for
Alligator Cacciatora Banquet
“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

peppers Alligators... Discard head, feet and tail. Wash and cut into
individual portions. (so how much do 3 adult alligators weigh anyway?)
Borrow, beg or steal huge cooking pot. Use medium heat for oil and
garlic. Add alligator portions, turning often. Add tomatoes, bring to
boil, simmer, add salt, pepper, red pepper, oregano, bay leaves, and
parsley. Cover and simmer for 2 1/2 hours. Last 30 minutes add
onions, peppers, zucchini. Last 5 min. add sliced olives. Serve with
salad topped with favorite Italian dressing and crisp bread. "New
Orleans Cooks The Italian Way" Locovozzi & Mollicone (note: this is a
real recipe and there is a whole Italian area of New Orleans which as
you can see is spicy like cajun, but truely Italian. I have though of
ways to make this with some other meat, because we just don't have
alligators in Milwaukee! Maybe buffalo?)
