I don't usually go for rat meat... But when I do, I prefer the best from the Ivory Coast!

Rat hats. Rat meat. Makes sense.

Grass cutters are large rodents that eat grass, not garbage.

Guinea pigs are eaten in South America.

My recollection is that if you declare an improper product, they will take it away, but not fine you.

“Anyway, like I was sayin’, rat is the fruit of the landfill. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There’s uh, rat-kabobs, rat creole, rat gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple rat, lemon rat, coconut rat, pepper rat, rat soup, rat stew, rat salad, rat and potatoes, rat burger, rat sandwich. That- that’s about it.”

And you wonder why Chicago hot dogs for a party of 500 costs over $60,000... imported rat ain’t cheap!

I'm going to take a different tack. As long as the rat eats "in the field" its diet is no different than raccoons and opossums. so the taste should be about the same. But you have to remember, not to eat raccoons and opossums that live around humans because they will eat just like rats.

If you were raised in the country in the south up until the 1970s, then you have probably eaten raccoons and opossums. They are almost entirely dark meat and taste pretty good. The only difference is that opossum fat is really greasy and slick, so we would scrape that off before cooking them.

If you’ve eaten rabbit or squirrel, it is probably similar.
