it’s something very common in the rest
of the world if you have a problem we
can basically eat them in terms of
eating it here in Porto Rico at least
people don’t like eating reptiles one
thing it’s for our culture to live it
weird start eating on reptiles and
pinyon reptiles because if you go to
Panama Venezuela Costa Rica Colombia it
is part of the diet people tend to eat
it there is a culture for that in
Central and South America but I think
it’s something that we could build upon
here in Porto Rico we should eat them
locally brochure we should export them
my name is Roberto Hernandez on the
executive chef Emilio restaurant in
Washington DC and today we’re cooking a
1s it smelled like fish it felt like
chicken in their hands but it looked
like red meat so it’s a completely
different experience for me as a chef in
the kitchen and all the things that you
can do with width iguana and all the
different flavors you can develop I
think it is a pretty good item in a menu
you want us for one thing it’s very well
known is really well documented that the
1s are a very good source of protein
very lean it’s very high in protein but
it’s it’s a it’s a very low fat mean
iguana can be prepared fry stew we can
do one of popcorn grill it roasted it’s
all about the imagination of whoever is
doing it this you want to meet we’re
gonna eat today come it comes from
Canova nas porto rico it has all the FDA
licenses and all the permits it needs to
be exporting the this item if I didn’t
know if you’d wanna I probably would
have been so skinny but I’m trying it
and I actually really liked it and for
me it had more because it’s to you
but it’s nice that you can have you know
these different kind of textures in the
same kind of meet so it really gives it
different flavors this fewer very good
fantastic this was a great experience
they was beyond what I ever thought it
would be the meat itself was really
really tender which I didn’t expect at
all the popcorn chicken is delicious I
mean it’s not chicken actually it’s
iguana I really liked it and if I can go
for second sub we need to go through the
proper channels to to make it into an
industry in Puerto Rico the major
problem and the reason why the
Department of the health hasn’t approved
it is Salmonella the same thing happens
with chicken eggs and chicken meat and
turkey need so that’s something that if
you have a series of regulations to keep
the meat nice and healthy I don’t see
any problem why not if you never had a
1o before give it a chance and grab a
bite
