In which country is iguana meat a traditional food?

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!!!

frank, China has colder winters

Scotti, I bet you have never tried the sumptuous delicacy of well prepared iguana meat. ? !!!

ewww! disgusting! it seems that people will eat everything and anything if it's alive! like no! I could never!!

it's mind boggling what food other countries eat. don't agree with it.

I've not been to Mexico

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.
