The only rat I have ever eaten was nutria from the Louisiana swamp made quite edible by a redheaded Cajun queen it was closer to turtle in consistency and taste than squirrel or rabbit. We also had frogs we gigged and cough stipper er I mean alligator gar that we bowfished for. All were good eats. I love my coonass step family they helped raise me from a weee Texas buck.
Cuy is good as well although not a true rat it is in the rodent family the Peruvians get down on it.
One of my long term Xs was from West Virginia they ate squirrels aka tree rats as an art form. Raccoons too 20 gauge dogs shotguns and lots of white shine good times good times. Raccoon is dark meat like turtle but more gamey surprisingly.
