How does Burmese python jerky sound?
Or possibly python stew or even cookies made from snake eggs?
Python hunter Donna Kalil told WPLG in Miami that Burmese pythons could be the next white meat.

She is hoping a study being conducted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Florida Department of Health will show the meat and eggs from python kills will be safe.
The focus right now is on mercury levels.
Kalil told the WPLG that she has tested the snake meat on her own and deemed it not only safe by also tasty, saying she has eaten about a dozen of her kills already.
The secret, she says, is in the prep.
If state officials give the meat a go, Kalil thinks it could encourage more people to hunt them.
