Hunting And Cooking Rat!

[junki3korean]

My latest visit to the village was a memorable one.

I went hunting for rats in fields at night with my girlfriends papa, which was a experience.

Would have taken more photos but only had the iphone at the time and got a couple of shots I wanted to share...

Have you tried rat?? I personally love it!

Enjoy!

No problem - just wanted you to be aware of a recent thread in case the response was not as you expected

I am always pleased to see that the fare on the table is similar to what I am eating.......

Looks like McRat to me.

Never actually gone on safari for it but have bought it from roadside stands.

Tastes ok to me.

while youre at it you might as well try dog and cat, I hear they taste just as good

Wow, big rat. I have not tried it but if had the chance then would just so I could say I've done it. Rats from the field would be ok but would not even be able to go near one in Bangkok.

I heard a story about a guy who tasted dog and when he got home his own pet dog would not go near him for a week. Could this be true do you reckon?

I'm pretty sure I had cat in a restaurant in Malaysia.

I'm still looking for dog.

One got clipped by a car out the front the other day so I thought it might be on the menu but they buried it instead.

Didn't look damaged at all, probably died of shock. Only a pup, would have been nice and tender.

Better than those mangey soi dogs they round up every now and again.

Yes OP, I eat rat regularly, and really enjoy it, although I have never been out on the hunt for them, as there are always locals in the village selling them!

A friend was on holiday in Tunisia. The past this eating spot and picked what they wanted from looking in the pans. After they had eaten he called the owner over to ask what they had eaten. The owner asked him where he was from. When my mate told him England, the owner insisted he didn't want to know. My mate pestered him intil he was told it was cat. My mate says it was delicious.

I've never eaten rat, but I have had squirrel on a couple of occasions.

Rat out of the paddies are very tasty.I would never eat one from a road side stand though.Just have no idea where it came from or how it was killed,poison maybe?Not good.Same with crickets.I really enjoy them fried in oil with lime leaves.But will not buy them from the roadside.

Oh and dog is fantastic if you like meat.I had it in Vietnam.If you look at some of my past post I had posted some photos of cooked dog for sale in the meat market in Vietnam.
