A meal of fried squirrel, squirrel gravy, greens and mashed potatoes is great!
I have been offered fried possum...I took a small taste and then declined.

Thailand?
Did you find you a nice Thai girl while on that site?
Well, there’s always bat-meat.
Or you could stretch the family dollar with rat meat helper.
Visited Thailand once...stayed three or four days.All I can say is “yikes!”
Business opportunity here. Catch big, juicy urban rats and export them to Asia.
Become the Tyson of the rat trade. Free Range, hormone and antibiotic free rats.
The rice field rats are not as good for you as the free range rats
I knew I should have bought low.
Sign me up....we can load up a refrigerated boat and flood the market, baby.
I wonder what they prefer? Ones that are tofu fed or ones that grew up on a welfare diet.
Need to find out quick before someone else gets in front. Seems I always miss out on these easy pickin' deals
The patoot is the best part.

While at Subic Bay, I was privileged to go camping with my scout troop back in the Bataan jungle. We were visited by a Negrito who taught jungle survival to the Navy pilots.
He downed a big fruit bat with a slingshot. He cut a section of 3” diameter bamboo with his bolo and made a lengthwise slit and created a sliding panel. He put in some rice and the bat meat. punctured the sliding lid with a hole and placed the whole deal in the fire.
He had crafted a pressure cooker...... it worked extremely well.
I have an older English friend who tells the story about her dad who was a prisoner of war. He was secretly raising rats for food to secretly feed his fellow prisoners. This was discovered and the jailers cut off his hand. Her dad later was found out again to doing the same and cut off his other hand.
That would involve firing all the Thai employees and replacing them with Mexicans.
So most of the year I don't see them at local markets, but during rice harvest it becomes common at the village markets.
Hey New York - don’t miss this opportunity. Take a trash barge, park it up against a dock for a month, then untie and move it to Thailand, food drop! You could make some bucks.
While stationed in that part of the world, I would frequent the street corner vendors for ‘snacks’.
Lord only knows what it may have been BUT when between 18-24, get enough booze in you, have someone offer you some ‘smoked meat’ on a stick and one is ‘good to go’.
Back in the 50s/60s booze in the ‘watering holes’ would more than likely be watered down or maybe not the Crown Royal one thought they were drinking.
When yen was 360 to the ‘Yankee Dollah’, a good liberty could be had for less than 5 bucks and a great one for 10.
But when as a SN or RM3(E3 or E4) and your monthly pay around 90 bucks ...etc...etc.
A lot of ‘people’ retired based on loaning 5 bucks and getting 7 back - payday loan - with cash paydays and the ‘money barons’ waiting at the end of the pay line.
The phrase ‘Neither a borrower nor a lender be’ makes sense today...unless you were the lender..and didn’t get caught.
UCMJ frowned on such activities..for that matter, UCMJ frowned on most anything with the infamous Article 134.
In case we didn’t ‘ban’ it in the other 150 or so Articles’
“R&R for Charlie was a little rat meat and rice”
Organic Rat meat
