Dad said they used to eat at the roadside stands and carts on his two tours. He said you did not look close and just put more siracha or nuoc mam on.

Nguyen Huy Duc stir-fries some rat. Smoking seems to help mask the smell.

Woman: Well there's rat cake ... rat sorbet... rat pudding... or strawberry tart.

Man: Strawberry tart?!

Woman: Well it's got some rat in it.

Man: How much?

Woman: Three. Rather a lot, really.

Man: ... well, I'll have a slice without so much rat in it.

For conservatives, the 4 years of the Rat starts with the presumptive GOP nominee.
