Among both amphibians and land-based (jargon: terrestrial) animals, some degree of "chicken-like" flavor developed and has persisted among all the tetrapods. In fact, among the vast and varied four-legged community, there are only minor exceptions, such as the evolution of "beef-like" and "pork-like" flavor among mammals.
—"Tastes Like Chicken?", Joe Staton, Annals of Improbable Research, vol. IV no. 4, 1998, pp. 5-9.

A gourmet once challenged me to eat

A tiny bit of rattlesnake meat.

Remarking, "don't look horror-stricken

You'll find it tastes a lot like chicken."

It did.

Now chicken I cannot eat

Because it tastes like rattlesnake meat.
Ogden Nash, "Experiment Degustatory"

People always try to get me to eat something they caught, and say, "It tastes just like chicken!" If it tastes like chicken, then why don't you give me some chicken! The cheapest goddamn meat on the planet!
