This Chef Really, Really Wants You to Eat Iguanas - Vice
Green iguanas are an invasive species that destroys vegetation. For Thomas Tennant, that's even more reason to eat them.
"In Cayman, we have a lot of diversity," says chef and longtime Grand Cayman resident Thomas Tennant. "Lots of people are willing to try forward-thinking things and they're not afraid of a challenge or stigma."
That mindset makes the Cayman Islands the ideal home for Tennant's Tomfoodery Kitchen, a culinary concept offering the standard gamut of cooking demos and private catering—and also green iguana rillettes.
This dish is part of a larger effort to eradicate environmentally destructive invasive species by transforming them into dishes with mainstream appeal.
