Sorry. I was on vacation for the past month and just got back to my precious -- preciousssssss -- home internet connection.

I've only had gator once, and it was fried. It was kinda chewy and greasy. frown

As for ostrich, just remember that the meat has very little fat so you DO NOT want to overcook it. Grill it, roast it, or braise it. This recipe looks great: http://wscdn.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/ostrichwithbeetroota_83263
