Celebrated actress Lupita Nyong'o has stirred online debate after eating viper meat while visiting Benin.
In a video on her social media pages, Lupita initially hesitated to have a taste of the meat, even as it was already served.
"You are about to witness me eat Viper for the first time in my life. I have never eaten a snake," she said.
As she progressed to take up the plate, Lupita said the meal did not look as scary as she initially thought.
"Uuuuurgh! It feels like a snake, I don't think I can do it," she hesitantly said as she looked at the plate.
Additionally, she again looked at the plate and said the cooked viper looked like a chicken.
"It tastes like a chicken," she said adding that the texture of the viper is like chicken.
"The flesh is like chicken, but I'm not into the skin though."
Following her post, fans all over her social media expressed how they were scared of trying the meat, saying it would be the last thing they would do.
"Why did I run from my phone when you opened the bag?" a fan commented.
"My palette ain't exquisite enough to taste that. No, thank you. I can't be eating one of my worst fears," another one said.
"It is a no for me, I will never be able to sleep if I do this."
"No devil's pet in my belly it is a no, for me."
