I tasted all the others, but not alligator. (Anyway, alligators are an 
endangered species, am I right? so I can live without trying it.) I also 
lived in a hippie commune for a few years, where everybody was "officially" 
vegetarian; which taught me how to get the most nutrition and good taste out 
of a meat-free diet, as well as how to combine foods to supply enough 
protein. (Read that book, *Diet for a Small Planet*, by Frances Moore Lappe.) 

What nobody knows about vegetarians, though, is that most of them are not 
really very strict about it, and they sneak meat into their diet at every 
opportunity.
