I'm sure I ate a lot of'em in Panama.  You would come out of some nightclub real late (or early morn...) and there would be kids on almost every corner with their habachis grilling "beef" kabobs soaked in tobasco


Beef? "yes" What kind of beef....cow? monkey? cat? iguana? "Yes" beef...

I had grilled street iguana down there as well in the 80's.  Perfect thing after a few beers.

Something to have in your gut if you only had an hour to get back to the barracks before PT.

Mike,  I wasn't in the military.  Worked for the NMFS on commercial tuna boats 87-90 as a marine mammal observer.  Got to go through the canal a couple of times, what a trip.  We got to hang out waiting for our boats to get there from Puerto Rico where they unloaded their catch then fished in the Pacific.

Had about a four footer scare the crap out of me while hiking on Ancon Hill one day.  It blew up out of the leaves like a grouse.   :o
