Rats on Menu Around the World

[USAMomma]

Most of us try to keep rodents away from our food -- but in some places, rats are the food.

In fact, rat-based meals have turned into a cottage industry in Mozambique, where rat hunters earn the equivalent of a couple of dollars a day catching rats and selling them on skewers.

Think rat-kabob.

I would go Vegan before eating rat. Although, looking at the FDA and food quality standards, I likely have eaten more rats (at least in parts) over the years than I care to even think about

40 years ago a canned meat product was commonly available in the SE Asian Pacific with a label that just read "Star".

That's "Rats" spelled backwards.

Rats have been food for millenia.

BTW, would you go vegan before you ate RAbbiT?

The USA is a week away from cannibalism in many cases.
Once the meltdown comes and the store selves are empty
Boom .The golden hoard.

Squirrel is delicious, so I imagine rat is likely good eatin'.
