    A couple years ago, when Ohio State played the Florida Gators for the football national championship, many of the Ohio grocery stores had alligator meat for sale. It was a very popular thing to serve in Ohio during that game, or at least for the first half of the game. By late in the second half, it was obvious that the Gators ate the Buckeyes, not the other way around.

    That was the only time I ever saw alligator meat in Ohio.

    Funny, my family was talking about eating 'gater last night! We wondered how it tasted! My husband said somewhere between chicken white meat and dark.

    Thanks for the recipe. I have it available at many stores around here, but it just doesn't make it into my cart! :)
