From Nicaraguan Cooking, Trudy Espinoza-Abrams:

p. 75
Pinol de Iguana
  • 4 cups masa harina
  • 1 black iguana with eggs (there is no substitute for iguana!)
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers, chopped
...

Instructions:

Cut off the head, make an incision in the abdomen, and remove the eggs and innards. Discard the innards. Wash the eggs in cold water ...

You need this book.

OK, so how do I know the iguana has eggs? Do I pick up each one at the store and give it a squeeze? I know my grocer frowns on squeezing the iguanas.

You know Darc, I was going to ask the same thing. My meat manager always yells at me when I squeeze live animals...they scream or yelp or fart. Go figure.

What, you guys buy your iguanas? The quality of a hand-reared iguana is oh so superior to that of what you are able to find at the average grocery store. If you are going for a commercial iguana you might as well just save yourself the money and pick up a couple geckos. Stick some of that Kraft mac and cheese in your cart while you're at it.

No choice.

The mountain lions eat them if I try to raise them out back. I'm just doomed when it comes to raising lizards. Oh well...
