Well pie it with bacon mushroom and a white wine white sauce. Or curry the bugger.
Or buy a chicken from someone who keeps them around the back yard eating worms and stuff. THEY have taste

After christmas, this is exactly the experiment I am embarking upon. The wife will buy a chicken from a free range farm, and we'll see how it compares. My bet is it will be better, but not good enough to get me to enjoy chicken breast.

I would concur with that. Chicken is cheap protein. Expecting it to be more is nuts. All reptiles - and birds evolved from reptiles - 'tastes like chicken'.

I read that in terms of protein, breeding snakes is the Donald Trump of protein when it comes to price! A free business idea for this group could be to start a snake breeding farm and sell chicken:ish, protein at very good prices!

Then there's also insect protein. I do not know how it compared with snake protein.

Edible if you wanted.

 Fascinating to think about that, given the enormous amount of locusts which plague them from time to time. Huge amounts of protein there, just for the taking!

   Yea ... if you're down with locusts  :-)
   There IS a vocal segment that basically want to FORCE
   everybody to eat insects almost entirely as "meat".
   Sorry, I like my meat to have had a moo or cluck or
   squeal .......
   Oh, avoid deer/moose meat now ... there's a lot of
   something like Mad Cow prion going around. NO cure
   for that. Bear meat - only WELL done as they tend
   to be full of parasites (bear meat isn't that good
   anyway).
