Grin grin grin, but now serious. Has anyone ever eaten rodents and how was it? What circumstances where you in and would you do it again? I'm still trying to think how it would be to live off the land and rodents could be part of that. I have no emotional objections to eating cute little gerbils or a tasty hamster, it is just that you can't buy them here. I saw a documentary that in South America they are kept as pets/food so it should be easier to find some on your plate there. They idea of eating rats from the sewer as they come here, all exposed to human waste is not very appealing. Besides petstores (which I'm not seriously considering, don't worry) I see no source of clean healthy rodents as they are eaten in Africa etc. Christy Tom wrote: >>When woul YOU use rats? >> > >Fried lightly in oil, when I am hungry... ;--) >
