Lotta people turn up their nose... Ewwww... eat a rat? I’d DIE FIRST!
I never ate one. But as a kid, it was totally routine to go out to the barn with the .22 and bring in half a dozen pigeons.
Wonderful eatin. Huge breasts on a pigeon. Course they were corn fed country birds.
Not sure I’d eat a city bird, more because I’d be worrying about them carrying something.
I wouldn’t have a problem eating a rat, problem is, even a big rat ain’t gonna have much meat on it’s bones.
Before either myself or one of my family members starves to death, I’d cook up rat Jambalaya or Etouffee. lol
