Nutria, A Rat-like Pest Ravaging Gulf Coast Wetlands, Can Be Lured With New Substance

I remember back in the 1950s the fad was raising Nutria in your basement or garage for fun and profit. Then the industry went belly up, as all pyramid schemes do and the animals were released into the wild.
Heart Healthy ‘Crock-Pot’ Nutria
2 hind saddle portions of nutria meat
1 small onion, sliced thin
1 tomato, cut into big wedges
2 potatoes, sliced thin
2 carrots, sliced thin
8 Brussels sprouts
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup water
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup demi-glace (optional)
Layer onion, tomato, potatoes, carrots and Brussels sprouts in crockpot. Season
nutria with salt, pepper and garlic, and place nutria over vegetables. Add wine
and water, set crockpot on low and let cook until meat is tender (approximately
1-1/2 hours). Garnish with vegetables and demi-glace. Makes four servings.

No!
We should use them as service animals.
“Sir! You can’t bring that big rat on this plane!”
“Why not? I saw Bill Clinton in First Class.”
You can have my portion, thanks. Better to do what the Jefferson Parish, Louisiana Sheriff's Office has been known to do - send the SWAT Team out late at night to cruise along the drainage canals and jacklight the orange-toothed varmints. Patrol car up ahead with teardrop spotlight blazing, followed by pickup truck filled with SWAT guys with .22 rifles. Bringing up the rear, two parish prison trustees in chest waders, sloshing down the middle of the canal, collecting the nutria carcasses.
The dead swamp rats are fed to the gators in the Audubon Zoo. An ecologically friendly solution. ;-)
Nasty, disease bearing animals.
I have had turtle soup and alligator (at Chimes, right off the campus of LSU). Did not like the taste of the turtle soup. For alligator, did not like the texture and was too chewy for my tastes. Alligator comes the closest to being acceptable, but there are too many other things I prefer. I will eat boudin three times before I will eat gator.
That brings back happy memories. It used to be my beverage of choice after I got my fake ID.
“Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill” that stuff used to be good with anything including just itself.
I love shooting and have my own range on my property, but the most fun shooting I’ve ever had was in college, we’d take .22 revolvers to the city dump and by moon light shoot rats.
Extreme shooting fun. They’d have runs between piles of trash - like their roads - and would scurry across them where we’d pick them off. And of course, there was an infinite supply.......
Oh what joy!
Shrek and Donkey prefer Snake Wine paired with swamp rat...
Snake wine
“The history of snake wine starts in China but has spread throughout South-east Asia and is especially popular in Vietnam, where poisonous snakes are infused in rice wine (their venom is rendered harmless by the alcohol).”
Great Flaming Wolf Spiders!!!
Charlie is giving good liquor to bad snakes?
What kind of fiends soak their snakes in gin?
This is what communism gives you.
Five bucks a day and snockered snakes.
I saw Andrew Summer eat one on TV. It was in LA and some Cajun guy was fixing it. Its supposed to be very tasty.
They taste like chicken...
if chicken were a rat...
What kind of wine would they serve with swamp rat?”
mousecato
So? Use it for its fur. Its fur is famous and used in fashion before the fur-Nazis got after us.
Ask any Cajun, and nutria can be eaten... Those crazy coon-asses will eat anything if it doesn’t eat them first..
/I’m part coon-ass, can talk about my kinfolks..
No! Give them free housing, health care, education, let them vote and run for office!
Giant swamp rats? I’m sure the Democraps have already registered them all as illegal voters.
I knew a guy from the bayou who used to sing this song, “Oh, I’m as Coon-ass as they come, I take my lovin’ on the run....”
You know that little ditty? He used to be so hilarious singing it....
