I had Cuy (guinea pig) at a Peruvian restaurant in Queens many years ago. One man’s pet is another’s dinner.

I read about a cheap invention used by rat catchers in India. The guy in the article was so happy as now he catches 15 rats a day instead of 5. He used to just be able to feed his family on that (and the grain the rats stored in their tunnel). Now he sells the extra rats, and with the extra money he is now able to send his two children to school.
One man’s pest is another’s college fund.

Never tried it. I’m told its good. I always said, it looks like a rat. They’d say, no, rats have tails. To which I’d reply that if the only difference is the tail, its a rat.

Sometime in the 1980’s the Department of Agriculture was trying to promote the introduction of farm-raised rabbits into the U.S. diet. I remember seeing fresh rabbit in the meat section at grocery stores. It didn't catch on.

Rats are like any other beasty, clean if fed clean, dirty if fed garbage.
I’d have no problem eating rat that was cage raised and fed like rabbit or something of the sort.
Where food is concerned, squeamish I ain’t.

Can they ensure that all rat snacks will be warfarin/d-con free.
