A curry made from one of the world`s most dangerous snakes has gone on the menu at restaurant chain Tootsies.
The python curry went on sale at the Richmond restaurant yesterday and will be available until November 2 in celebration of Hallowe`en.
Tracey Kitchener-Kemp, Managing Director of Tootsies, said: “It may sound like a trick but it’s definitely a treat. Hallowe`en is a great time of year to do something a little different, and we’ve had huge amounts of fun creating a dish that can be enjoyed by both our adult and junior guests alike.
“We’re always looking to be innovative with our menus and python is certainly the most original ingredient we have ever worked with. Those who dare to give it a go will be very pleasantly surprised.”
Tootsies said the python had been sourced from a specialist meat supplier.
