Was only me. And I don’t care how they breed prepare or cook them I will eat a rock before I will knowingly eat a rat.
A Vietnamese former coworker of mine explained that field rats are clean and tasty animals since they don’t live off of trash like city rats. I’d try one if it was on the menu.
Where’s Mangetout? I’m sure he could give us his opinion on rat meat.
Me, uh … well, frankly, I don’t know that I could look at a dish of rat meat and not think of New York sewers. Maybe if you fed it to me unawares and told me it was rabbit or something.
Ignorance sometimes really is bliss.
Whether it’s rat meat or smoked goat’s anus, if it has to be transported to market, its price will vary proportionately to the price of fuel.
Smoked Goat’s Anus - The Other “Why?” Meat
From everyone’s disgust at eating rodent, I am beginning to think now I might have been making my ratatouille incorrectly over the years.
This does, however, explain why my butcher eyes me oddly ever since the day I asked for three pounds of ground rat.
So how do you guys make that French dessert, Chocolate Mouse?

In the Thailand, they’ll have these rat festivals out in the countryside, I guess because field rats can harm the rice crop. They’ll build these giant straw rats, which are burned later after everyone has brought in as many field rats as they can catch. Prizes to those who catch the most. I guess some are eaten, but rat’s not really as popular here as it is in Cambodia, but there are still quite a few connoisseurs.
Was that *Lobscouse and Spotted Dog *? AWESOME book-- I loved that they included the recipe for “Boiled Shit”. 
(Although I lurrv ratties-- want some as pets, in fact!-- my name has nothing to do with them, or with pigeons, but comes from my friend’s evident opinion that I can’t draw dragons worth crap.)
