I witnessed iguanas being sold and prepared as food in Honduras. Since I have had pet iguanas, the horror of that image is seared in my brain!!!

Calabtangan' Boyoyong, It's amazing how many things are supposed to taste like chicken.

There was a song by the band "Wall of Voodoo" who had a song called "Mexican Radio". The song makes reference to "being in Tijuana eating barbecued Iguana" which helped me make my choice.

Ironic, in the Philippines a similar class of reptile called 'bayawak' monitor lizard is regulated and not allowed for consumption, although in reality in the countryside locals consider this as a delicacy, close to the taste of a chicken meat.

Now I know why the iguana was tied up in Tennessee Williams Night of the Iguana.
