Unfortunately (fortunately?) there aren't really any snakes here. I've seen maybe 2 or 3 in my entire life in this state. Have seen an 8ft water moccasin in FL. I bet that would make a great meal.
I'm saving these restaurant names for my list of places to go. I don't know if I'll ever be in Louisiana again but definitely checking New Orleans if I can.
How do you have all these experiences. Are you literally a viking?
It all started in 1793 with Charlotte Corday, then the assistant of Antoine Lavoisier, then of Antoine himself in 1794 with his assistant helping with the experiment. All three were be-headed, and asked questions in which their eyes would blink, to answer yes or no. each one, and many since then that have been killed or executed have showed these same things.
The people are still in the heads for 30 seconds or so before departing...
What this means, is when the lance came through to the bottom of the head to show your head on the castle battlements or bridge on the way to said castle, you feel it go into your brain, through the top of the skull in some instances, and you see yourself rise on the spike, to look over and beyond while you slowly fade out.
You might remain as long as an entire minute or two with your thoughts after blackness and before moving on to other realms. This is chilling to some, but logical to others, and makes perfect sense.
Needless to say, the fear would remain with every animal we eat, as animals know when they are about to die, as sure as they know when you're coming home, and they are there to greet you.
You can't fool them either. you can fake coming home, and have someone observe it, but they won't come to the window or door till you are near the last block. They instinctively know.
Water Moccasins might be very good eating in a pinch, and they Pit Vipers, so same caution must be taken... but I'd rather have a 4-6 lb Largemouth Bass or 4 ft. Gar if it's all the same.
Gar are delicious, cooked Florida swamp style, over a large grill, smoke-flame cooked with dried water oak or pecan tree chunks, which are very pungent (lightly with pecan wood!) same with Barracuda, best kept secret in the ocean. Amazing! just get em under 10 lbs. because of mercury.
Been around a long time, yes, but not a Viking clansman, and no pillaging, But we still exist, as our settlement was near, and to the right of Hermansverk in a high valley looking over the Sognefjord, which winds through many ancient and new settlements, and eventually to the south part of the North Sea. Most of the big famous stuff came from Trondheim, or near Oslo. We was just little tiny country folk, but we still had a few cool looking Knorr,(merchant ships) Still people use forms of them today for local transportation and fishing, and two Langskips from the stories that circulate from way back.
Did you know that King Cnut(Canute), Danish Viking was considered one of England's best kings from 1016 to 1021? He was no nonsense, and was mostly a just King.
My Senegal roots are just as strong, and I'm trying to find out more about them. I'll be going back there in another 2 years or so. Funny thing, the Norse actually traded with West Africa, Morocco, and Ivory coast, as well as the Middle-east, Jordan, through the Al Siq to Petra and the lands beyond, and India, but probably also to South-east Asia as well, so my kin traded with my other kin!.
Thor Heyerdahl proved that it's entirely possible, physically sailing many routes with ancient ships to shut up a lot of "closed minded" scientist's mouths. Any of his books are fascinating, but I liked "Kon Tiki Expedition" the best so far.
I'll also look for the local restaurants in the "back woods" areas and holes in the walls that you WILL like, lol.
