I'm with Linds, I would be willing to say that most of the rats in 'our' freezers are home-bred, not sewer rats. I would be more comfortable eating one of my breeder rats than a wild rabbit or deer. I KNOW where my rats have been.

Rabbits----can NOT hold something while standing on their hind legs, the bottom of their feet have hair, has molar teeth, has a double set of inscisors, rabbits hop.
There is more info on the net, just go to www.ask.com and put in lagomorphs vs. rodents

Does this mean Guinea Pigs aren't rodents? They cannot hold things period or stand up on their hind legs.

Heck... don't tell Blockbuster!!! Carl & Ray will be branded imposters and end up in the food line (or is that chain?)

Last I heard, guinea pigs are not considered part of the rodent crowd  However I'm not sure if they re-classified them yet or not. I call them rodents when I don't need to be specific. :P
As far as eating rats, even though the thought doesn't do much for my appetite  I also see no harm in dining on the well cooked meat. I can't imagine that there would be much of it on a rat, however. You'll have to let us know what it was like, if you try it! (my guess is chicken..)

I'm grossed out by the idea, but, somehow fascinated, I'd say go for it. Meat is meat.

I would recommend a good Honey Terryiaki (sp) BBQ sauce. That will help tenderize and flavor the meat!..lol
Let us know how it turned out.

Dude.....don't discourage him! He's falling for it! Sheesh. What a party pooper.
I'd recommend some Hoisin Sauce with it. That stuff is straight out of heaven.
I wanna see those pics!! The only proof is in the pics!

Chicken and turkey is incredibly filthy. It's basically stewed in fecal bacteria, and we still wash it, cook it, and eat it.
The rat is probably safer, provided it's gutted before being frozen. There might be some health issues with one that has been put away to freeze with the gut bacteria still stewing away in the intestines though.
Try a fresh one instead.

I say go for it. Actually, i've been considering it for a while now, but my mom would NEVER let me cook rat in her house, much less eat it. I havn't suggested it because she's still kind of scared of the fact that her house is ovverun by animals.
Once I move out I'll try it. I hear it's not bad!
