Yes, I think that is a reasonable description. I've had alligator several
times, once here in Austin at a resturant called the Alligator grill,
once at fair here in town and most recently in a Florida resturant.

Were alligators known in medieval Europe? I believe crocodiles were
known in the Nile River in Egypt. Waverly Root in "Food" has very little
to say about either. He says crocodile tastes like lobster and says
alligator was appreciated by Prince Achille Murat, but dispised by
Natchez Indians. Who was Prince Achille Murat? And when and where did
he live?
