Not that long ago, folks would have looked at you weird for suggesting eating ostrich or buffalo too.

Guinea Pigs are a delicacy in South America.

Uhhhh....no. But then I don’t live in Africa either.
When I read things like this, it always makes me stop and think what my life would be like had I been born anywhere but here, and I swear to you, I just cannot imagine it.

Depending on where you live, lots of peple here eat groundhog and opossum. I guess maybe we aren’t that different after all.

As are nutria.

There are nutria here in Washington, but I’ve never seen one.

I do not think that picture means what you think it means.

Ipswitch: Ms. Benes the hat you charged to the company was Sable, this is Neutria.

Elaine: Well, that’s a kind of sable.

Ipswitch: No, its a kind of rat.

Elaine: That’s a rat hat?

Ipswitch: And a poorly made one, even by rat hat standards.

"Rodents of Unusual Size" and there are pictures but no pictures or words to allow ơne to know what "unusual size" implies, something between hamsters and capybaras, I suppose.

I can’t imagine it to be any more strange than eating rabbits or squirrels.

A squirrel is a bushy-tailed rat. A rabbit is not. Think Easter Bunny.

The fact that I was born in NM and not Mexico is all the difference in the world. And to accept that we are unique in being American and should embrace it rather than wallow in guilt. When we accept who we are, we make the world better.
