Yes!
That was a pretty funny scene. I was thinking that I would not like to have that snake soup anytime soon based on that visualization! Then I realized that I have tasted snake before, and the adage is true that it is kind of like alligator or chicken. It’s about the seasonings and not so much the meat. Maybe it was a little more bitter than alligator or calamari but not so much different. I read that snake was a delicacy in China but couldn’t find much about snake soup in Japan.
