Hunters take advantage of the field rats’ reliable presence and sell their bounty to local roadside vendors or export it to Vietnam. In Cambodia, sellers cook the rat over charcoal and serve it accompanied by dipping sauces made from lime juice and black pepper or fish sauce and chilies. The skin is salty and rich, similar to roast chicken, while the meat itself has the savoriness of pork. Most Cambodians pair it with a local lager, such as Angkor. And no you don’t eat the tail.
Damn, that sounds really good actually
Apparently field mice with a diet of rice, corn and sugar-cane are vastly different “animals” than their city dwelling brethrens.
I completely believe that. Actually sounds like a pretty tasty way to keep down pests and have an additional income stream
house mice, might carry diseases, probably best not to eat them, as they eat nasty stuff too.
Yeah, it’s pretty good. Although I find the meat kinda tough and stringy.
Yeah, I was thinking it sounded like a good menu description. Wouldn’t it would be fun to come home and tell everyone you had barbecued farm-raised country rat?
Still a nasty rat, though.
Depends entirely on where the rat came from. I wouldn’t eat a New York city garbage rat but I see nothing wrong with a woods rat. People eat woods animals all the time, including rabbit and squirrel.
And no you don’t eat the tail.
I mean its not like you eat the stick of a corn dog.
TIL
🤯 no fkn way
That’s where all the fiber is
Anyone who’s read Terry Pratchett knows that rats on a stick are a well-beloved street food in Ankh-Morpork!
Among the dwarves, anyway. Most humans seem to prefer a sausage inna bun, though the way Dibbler’s food is described, I think the dwarves might be better off.
Got a have ketchup though.
On a King’s ship they’d grill them and serve them with onion sauce.
I’ve got a recipe.
Babbington looked wretchedly from one to the other, licked his lips and said, ‘I ate your rat, sir. I am very sorry, and I ask your pardon.’
‘Did you so?’ said Stephen mildly. ‘Well, I hope you enjoyed it. Listen, Jack, will you look at my list, now?’
'He only ate it when it was dead,’ said Jack.
‘It would have been a strangely hasty, agitated meal, had he ate it before,’ said Stephen.

I’d give it a try
Apparently, it tastes like chicken.
More like squirrel.
I hear.
Can’t decide if I would. They look good, but… rats.
I would 100% have one
Once you skin’em, they don’t look much different than a skwrl, and e’rybody ets skwrl alla time.
Mark as NSFW maybe
Edit: literal fucking burnt corpses of animals, but sure guys - keep making fun of me
So many sexy, scantily clad rats.
Stahp. I can get only so erect.
Do you work in Cambodia and don’t want colleagues to know about your favorite snack ?
Vegetarian?
Yours more likely
At least a content warning for animal gore would’ve been nice
Would you expect the same of a roast chicken?
Yes, is it so bad that I don’t like seeing dead animals? I block all the non-vegan food communities for this exact reason. Lemmy probably would’ve freaked out over a picture of a skinned and fried dog, I don’t see a difference.
Shops and general society don’t care about roast chickens on public display, it isn’t NSFW. So an NSFW tag would be inappropriate.
What do you think about this?
I think you should setup filters for Lemmy blocking:
Barbeque, bbq, meat, roadside

Wow those rats are HUGE. This is AFTER they’ve been barbecued so they’ll have had heads and fur removed and shrunk from moisture loss and they still look that big. Wouldn’t want to find one of those things before they’re barbecued.
If I had to eat rat or dog I would go for eating grass.
