Tastes Like Chicken

You know how everyone says that things taste like chicken. Well, thanks to my mother's insight, I have a new perspective on that theory. Who decided that chicken ought to be the top of the meat foodchain? As if everything was beneath it and should be compared to it. How do we know that snake isn't really the top meat? Maybe snake doesn't taste like chicken, maybe chicken tastes like snake. Logic would then follow that all other meats that were once compared to chicken would now be compared to snake.

"I had alligator once."
"Oh yeah, what did it taste like?"
"It tasted like snake."
"What does that taste like?"
"Like chicken."
"Ah, gotcha."
