Could you give me a few clues and then just slap me about a bit?
It was something that was (and still may be) taught during “Escape and Evasion” training for Infantry troops.
From what I can remember you dig them up then “soak” them in water for 3 or 4 hours, which is supposed to flush their gut out of grit and the soil that they eat but didn’t and then fry them. Bon appetite.
Now stick your chin out whilst I take my best shot. ;) ;)

I'd be weary of city sewer rat. Any sewer rat really.
Have accidentily eaten cat in Thailand. It was sold as chicken but behind the stall was a large bucket of obvious claws, fur and heads sticking out.
As I'd already taken a few bites before seeing this, I continued. Just like chicken.

Rats are real small though, you'd need a bundle.
Remember seeing a doc on an African tribe, the San. They ate bats as well.
Does anyone know if cooking an animal with rabies kills off all the nasty?

Personally I am loath to eat anythingl that is a meat eater itself. Rats will eat just about anything, and that worries me a little. Plenty of other critters to catch first. If I was hungry with no other source of food then it would be rat BBQ time.
