I don't think there's anything strange about this thought...

Most likely, this comparison is made because it's the easiest thing to compare with the taste of chicken.

Or maybe the taste of a snake really does resemble that of chicken.

I've never tasted a snake. 🤷

Who knows, maybe in the world of cannibals, the comparison is made with the taste of human flesh, rather than chicken.

By the way, I've come across an opinion that the chemical composition of pork meat is the most comparable to that of human flesh.

I'm not sure how accurate this is.
