Iguana Police

As a foreigner living here on Roatan it is natural to try local foods, many of which are not only tasty but also unique. There are many brilliant cooks here, but they all work in the big hotels and restaurants, and our man in the street wants to know what it's like to "eat out in the boonies" as it were... what do the common folk eat? Coming from a foreign household in "Gringo Gardens" for instance one would not expect to hear.... "Sweetheart, go down to the crick an' git us some mud suckers wilst I go down to the gully an' dig sum yucca..."
...."an we'll send junior out with the dog an' see he can git an iguana..."
The Iguana, however, is a protected species in the Bay Islands, and has no natural enemies nowadays, save the boa, but since Roatan seems to be the "Bible Belt" of the whole country, the boa enjoys a high profile as in the minds of the believers there is certainly no quicker way to reach those pearly gates, than by killing the serpent...!
In some countries "serpent steaks" are considered a delicacy but not here. Instead the dark brown chewy iguana is eaten. Also there seems to be no difference in killing a large 6-footer or a 6 inch baby... after all, the kids have to have something to do, and after they're done there's the kitty... that needs something to play with... be that as it may, trying to keep with in the law, one must go further in search of culinary delights, and thankfully a large variety of fruits and vegetables exist, that can be grown even on a small plot of land, so that no one need go hungry. So our man in the field came up with a cross-section of cuisine that contained no endangered or illegal species.
