Wednesday, 23 February: Today I ate boa! Atnoontime, Raphael called us <strong>to</strong> his apartment forlunch. “Boa, Slovenian style,” he proclaimed.“But, I must admit it is a little <strong>to</strong>ugh,” he said. Ilooked in his cooking pot and I saw a floatingjambalaya of vegetables, soup, rice, and fourchunks of boa.The boa looked like a king-sized turkey necksplit open down the middle. I fixed a small plateand sat down <strong>to</strong> study the situation. The boa isessentially one large muscle tightly intertwinedin<strong>to</strong> one long skeletal structure best described asa tubular rib cage. These ribs were like large fishbones running the full length of the snake. Thereare no large meat pieces; it is all intertwined withthe skeletal system. I pulled and snapped a pieceof meat off the boa and bit in<strong>to</strong> it. It tasted likerubbery turkey neck meat. I only had a smallpiece, which I ate reluctantly. Needles <strong>to</strong> say, Ihave no future plans <strong>to</strong> eat boa, Slovenian style,any time soon.Boa Constric<strong>to</strong>r Meal!!!
