CIMG7991 Rattlesnake cakes

CIMG7991 Appetizers at Hudson on the Bend: diamondback rattlesnake cakes. I just had to try them. (This restaurant serves wild game meats.) They sound much more exotic than they taste. While the appetizer was tasty, it was so mostly because of the spices it was made with, and the relish it was served with. The rattlesnake meat, it seems, hardly tastes like meat at all — or at most, a very bland, flavorless kind of meat.
