International Award-Winning Actress Lupita Nyong’o, known for her tremendous skills in acting ‘Black Panther’, has shocked the public by sharing a video of herself feeding on snake meat that she said was a viper.
A viper is a venomous snake with large hinged fangs, typically having a broad head and stout body, with dark patterns on a lighter background. They are all believed to be very poisonous.
This happened when she was in Benin, an area where she said they have a market called ‘Badagry’ that’s specifically meant for selling snakes. Sharing the video on her Instagram page, Lupita, who looked nervous but remained calm the entire time when taking the snake, also said that she loves the skin.
Below is what she said in the video that she has already posted it on her Instagram page, lupitanyongo, or even better, check it out on our social media handle on Instagram, that’s Spmbuzzke.
“You are about to witness me eat a viper (snake) here in Benin. I have never eaten a snake. It doesn’t look as scary as I thought it would. It looks like chicken. It tastes like chicken, the texture is like chicken, and the flesh is like that of chicken. I am into the skin, though. I like this.
In case you are wondering, yes. Snakes are not supposed to be consumed, but in other states and different parts of the world, people embrace them and take them, just like any other meal. Who knows? Maybe this is where that line falls. Another man’s food is another man’s poison!. And for the record, the majority of those who take them say it helps with smoothing their skin complexion.
