So I go into work early and I'm cruising around and there is a pot on the banquet stove that I have no clue what it is??? Obviously it's adobo but adobo what?


I ask the lead banquet cook what's this? She says it iguana! I'm like yeah right!!! Sure enough It was iguana.


Here's the tail...


The bones fried...


I didn't touch it! I didn't taste it! The lead from the Mexican restaurant had a bite before he knew what it was and said that it tastes like alligator but with a weird texture.

Just thought it was cool but not cool enough to eat...
 
Ugh. I've been to Mexico many times and have seen many iguanas. They're too dang ugly to eat.
