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.
