In summary, there was a discussion about a news article on a photo of a python swallowing an alligator. Some forum members joked about the taste of alligator, with some saying it tastes like chicken and ribs. Others mentioned that they have tried alligator tail in Florida and it doesn't have much flavor. The conversation then shifted to discussing the taste of snake. One forum member mentioned that they have never had snake, but alligator does taste similar to chicken.
