Method :
• Peppers Alligators... Discard head, feet and tail. Wash and cut into individual portions. (so how much do 3 adult alligators weigh anyway?)

olives. Serve with salad topped with favorite Italian dressing and crisp bread. "New Orleans Cooks The Italian Way" Locovozzi &
• Mollicone (note: this is a real recipe and there is a whole Italian area of New Orleans which as you can see is spicy like cajun, but truely Italian. I have though of ways to make this with some other meat, because we just don't have alligators in Milwaukee! Maybe buffalo?)
