Despite global warming, we still don't have any alligators in Montana, so I've never tasted alligator meat.  How would you compare it to other kinds of meat?  What, if anything, is it similar to?

Hi,
Bet it tastes great. We freeze soup all the time and really don't notice any decline in flavor.

I always make a BIG batch of red beans and rice (which has my homemade aduouille in it) and freeze the left overs.  Froze navy bean soup couple of weeks ago (already ate it).  I don't know how long it might last in the freezer, mine never gets a chance to sit to long.

Since we have an abundance of gators here in the south, I have had my fair share of the meat, to me it is hard to describe the taste, I have learned over the years that about the only way to eat it for myself is to run it through a cuber and fry it. It can be very tough to eat on it's own, I have not yet put any into sausage.     Bill

Biologists are concerned that the exotic pythons and anacondas that have infested the Everglades may be able to survive suprisingly far north, which could have a big impact on game and bird populations over much of the country.  So some day you may be able to try making snake sausage.  Perhaps the snakes will start controlling the feral pig populations in many southern states? If the crocodiles and pythons spread as far north as Montana, perhaps they would have an impact on the wolf population, although hopefully not such a big impact that wolves get returned to the endangered species list.

We freeze soup in plastic containers then pop out and slide into vacuum freezer bags. Good for at least a year.
