12-foot python caught in Toa Payoh

SINGAPORE : A 12-foot python caused a stir at Block 212, Lorong 8 Toa Payoh on Thursday evening.
The python had been sighted more than 10 days ago but residents believed it had been hiding in a water pipe.

An odd-job labourer and his friend who tried to catch the python then, were successful this time round - when they managed to lure it out with a slab of meat.

The police were called in and the snake was put in a sack and taken away. - CNA/de

Well, a few Chinese restaurants in NYC were serving cat meat in the name of chicken!

And a few months ago I was shown pictures of rats which were converted into pigeon-based recipes...

Well........I am told snake taste something like chicken (can't compare myself - shortage of python in British restaurants) so at least many won't have known the difference. Must say better than those bloody snails my Filipina friend keeps eating every time I see her......... :

Snake and chicken? Yes, fairly similar. Had to go to Taipei almost weekly a few years back and was introduced to snake (in snake alley), monkey and the rest there - <puke> did NOT partake in the monkey . . .

Yeah, i wonder what's wrong with snails too. I tasted snails in Paris. Nice and tender, goes great with wine! Hmm, wonder if we can get it in Singapore? I heard they starved the snails for a month before cooking them, is that true?
