Cambodian rat meat: A growing export market

A unique harvest is under way in the rice fields of Cambodia, where tens of thousands of wild rats are being trapped alive each day to feed a growing export market for the meat of rural rodents.

    Well they do look a little more edible than city rats.



    It's the naked hands and tail that gross me out, but once they're gone, and they're just a little pile of browned and basted slices on a serving plate...I don't know.

    Who am I kidding? You're right. Yuk.

    Not even if they came with little bunny ears.

    It's all perspective. I've had the same reaction from people because we eat elk, moose and deer..

    On that note, rat is probably not something that I would try. :lol:

    I'm just not hungry enough to eat a rat but I'm also pragmatic enough not to rule out the possibility. :idea:

    Coming soon to a WalMart near you, relabelled as generic burgers. It'll look great on the shelf next to the pet food full of strychnine and the drywall oozing toxic levels of formaldehyde. Dammit, though, we just couldn't keep those businesses in North America because those greedy employees wanted too much pay and safe workplaces and dignity and all sorts of other communistic stuff. :roll:

    In the end, that means that the tofu eating left wing vegan primates leave the tasty food for the humans. Who the hell cares if they find it strange or offensive.....I talking about the four legged critters with horns,not the cat food.....which those little folk eat too.

    Nope, that ain't never gonna happen, at least until it comes down to nothing but strict survival rations and nothing else....
