      Title: Crispy Rattlesnake Coils
 Categories: Appetizers, Game
      Yield: 10 Servings

      1    Rattlesnake; cut in strips
           Flour
           Salt & pepper
           Crisco

  Cut rattlesnake into 8" strips about 1/4" thick. Salt and pepper
  lightly. Put flour into a container that can be covered. Add
  strips. Shake. Refrigerate for about 2 hours. This will allow the
  flour to become sticky and while the Crisco is heating in a deep
  fryer, pull the pieces apart and re-flour the pieces again. Add
  flour if necessary. When the Crisco shortening is hot, add only
  enough snake strips so that all pieces are covered by the hot
  grease. Fry until golden brown. Dump into a container that has been
  prewarmed in the oven. Continue frying the rest of the rattlesnake
  strips.

  Serving:

  Use a basket lined with a cloth napkin. Add the fried, coiled snake
  pieces. Cover with the napkin.

  Notes:

  The fried rattlesnake strips will appear to be coiled!
