rwdrwdrwd Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) They should have boxed them up and sent them to the animals living in Southern Thailand.... Rats are pretty intelligent creatures. Perhaps you should grab a few to eat before the shipment. Edited March 30, 2016 by rwdrwdrwd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biplanebluey Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 "The rats were contained in a truck hidden behind empty bags of fertiliser" Shouldn't that be 'The rats were contained in a truck hidden behind empty fertiliser bags'? My Thailish not so good! Couldn't that mean that the bags where made of fertilizer? 'The rats were contained in a truck hidden behind empty plastic bags which purpose is to contain fertiliser'? The rats were located inside a truck that was hidden behind empty bags made of unknown material, which alleged purpose was to contain fertilizer , not the truck but the bags....i.e. the purpose of the bags was to contain fertilizer, but at this point in time they were empty. OH MY GOD-------- is this really necessary .I know exactly what was meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve73 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Great! So now people have to worry that perhaps the meat in their prepared food is not actually pork. Thailand is getting as bad as China. Would remind one of the "horse meat" scandal of about two years ago in many parts of Europe....amoung well known brand foods??? Bit of a difference between healthy horse meat and diseases rat I would think. However both are indeed wrong. I take it you're not French then...? And as a source of protein there's nothing wrong with rat - although I agree rotting rat is probably not such a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickylies Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I like eating rat,...and horse,...and squirrel, and snake, and pigeon,... I dont feel any difference between animals. My main concern is that they didn't suffer too much before they ended up on my plate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanukjim Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I guess that because LOS was over the Asian quota of their own 2 legged rats someone thought of importing the 4 legged kind to offset the imbalance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lopchan Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Good to see the TV "Ugh what savages, eating THAT!" Crew are alive and well. Mrs Lopchan's family sometimes trap rats out in the paddies and consider them a bit of a delicacy. Big buggers too. Being a rodent, they taste exactly like rabbit which of course would probably be an acceptable food to the "gourmands" of TV who love deriding Thais for their available choice, especially the poorer Thais. Of course the benevolent critics could always offer to pay for some "real food" for those who can only afford rat or hold a Western epicurean day in their local village (or gogo bar if you don't get out much) to show the locals just how advanced you are in your own epicurean development.

rawaimike Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Why do they need Cambodian rats? I've seen big rats in the streets of Bkk, why not eat them? When I first came to Thailand I was puzzled by the absence of birds, no birds singing in the mornings, after asking turns out local farmers killed them all, nowadays their economy seems better because the birds can be heard singing in the mornings... maybe they should ring "rat muncher's anonymous" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Cambodian field rats are considered luxury meat among food lovers in these parts of Thailand. Do not compare them with city rats , they taste like the trash they eat . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I am lucky that I mostly eat meat choices, that I can identify. When I am travelling I try to eat simple dishes. This news story may make a few more people become vegetarians. Maybe I will be eating more nuts, like cachews and peanuts for my protein, when I am in questionable places. Thanks Cambodia!
