Iguana

Cultural Context

Iguana has been a traditional food source in various cultures, particularly in parts of Central and South America. In the U.S., especially in regions with a rich Hispanic influence, iguana is sometimes featured in local cuisine, often prepared in stews or grilled. The dish reflects a connection to indigenous practices and the use of local resources. While not widely consumed, it has gained attention in some culinary circles for its unique flavor and texture, reminiscent of chicken or rabbit.
