Did you skin it?  An iguana handle wrap would look cool.

Nice one.  I'm wondering if I can kill the big green enoles.  The one's that are the size of my forearm.  They are invasive and showing up.

The keys are/were covered in those buggers. It wasn't uncommon to have 5-8 in sight at one time. They would swim canals from side to side. I even seen a bunch dead on the road sides. Invasive might be an understatement, Steve-O.

Florida needs to start having food festivals based on eating invasive species.

The cream of New Yorker soup is excellent, but a little fatty and pale.

I think the most popular invasive species feast in Florida would be a Canuck Potluck ;D ;D ;D

I've heard those type critters can be skewered, and roasted over hot coals!  Supposed to be a delicacy in some parts of the world!  Methinks, I'll stick with venison! -C-

I think tied in small groups and boiled in a big pot is the traditional way. ;)

I've had it cooked over a fire in Colombia and it was pretty tasty.

Steve, makes you think the next time you see a sign at a store advertising "Real Cubans" sold here?
