ignoramus Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Wouldn't taste quite as intelligent though would it? Rhetorically speaking i.e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsetBkk Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Eating rat is definitely to be encouraged. Especially around Sukhumvit soi 5 to 9 area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chownah Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I've eaten rat. My uncle puts out live traps in the fields and eats the rats he catches. It is gamey tasting and greasey. If it was the only meat available to eat I could probably get used to it but under normal conditions if offered it again I would either pass or just take a small taste as a reminder of what its like.

Johpa Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 My wife still cooks field rodents, or nuu paa, when we are in-country. Cooked in a curry, it is pretty tasty. Mind you these are not urban based Norway rats eating garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstumbo Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 They eat them at times in China. They catch them in the rice fields to stop them from eating the crops and then sell them to the restuarants in town. My wife and I have an agreement, she will not feed me rats, cats or dogs.

SongtaiJ Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 They said it's taste like Chicken? I don't know, ve never tried...but some insects and one kind of cockroach that live in rice field. BY the way, my younger brother has tried dog before when he went to Sakonnakorn. He thought it was beef ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinrada Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Have you seen some of the stuff that they serve up outside Nana..........ratti Sateys. and 4 legged chook drummers..... ...only 15 Bt a stick...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegha Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Although I have never eaten it, I believe the environment it lives in makes a difference to the taste. So a rat from the wheat fields would taste far better than one from the sewer! ps Does anyone know why they drown the rats? Rather than kill them in more 'humane' way.

chownah Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Well, if you drowned a rat aren't you giving it a chance to reflect on its life and come to terms with some of the loose ends that he or she had been putting off?....where as killing them more humanely (I read this as being "quickly") would rob them of the chance for meaningful closure on these issues?

Frogs are great.....especially the little ones fried crispy and eaten whole!!! One of my favorites!!!! If anyone tries these and finds them to be acceptable but not inspiring I suggest they try to get some that are fairly freshly killed (wild ones seem to be the better than farmed ones) and eat them immediately after frying...let them cool down to room temperature first.

freitag1 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Slugs with garlic and butter like in France is the "most disgusting" thing I ever had that tasted quiet good. I would never touch anything else mentioned here before. Why should I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
