That's kinda what I thought, I suspect rat is no more repugnant than beef or mutton, if you are disgusted by meat.

Or city squirrels.

I am waiting for the rat recipies.

Back in 1972, I was in the Philippines.  It was pretty wild west to say the least.  In Olongapo, there were street vendors hibachi grilling skewers of "monkey meat".  It was actually pretty good.  Even then I was enough of a skeptic to know that rats had to be a lot easier to come by in that city than monkeys.  The recipe had to be pretty simple, guessing mostly just salt.

Hmmm, monkey meat or rat meat - tough choice.  😀

Definitely wouldn't be my first choice, but if the situation called for it I would eat rats.  Fishing for them sounds fun also, I have fished for frogs many times and it is a blast.

I would take frog legs over rat legs.

It's the wine pairing that's tough....

It's just gotta be prepared right. 😁

I'm guessing rat meat is lighter than monkey. This should help your pairing @snagged in outlet 3.

Burb squirrels should be a delicacy.  Eating out of gardens, oak and hickory trees plus the HOA has a ban on fleas and mites so there's that...

To eat, or to walk (jump/swim) with?
