Odd, but a question non the less

Sadly, this has caught my attention. I'm always open to eating new things. I figure if someone(anyone) else in the world can eat it, so can I.

I say do it. Skin and gut it first though. De-bone it as much as possible and fry it up.

It's crossed my mind with the mice, but there's no meat on there... :grumps:

Let us know how it turns out too.

"Tastes like chicken" won't count either...

I'm kinda curious too... but, as before, pictures!

I think I saw this on Iron Chef. The "Rat Battle" They were born under a full moon on a secret island, that no one knows how to get to unless they've already been there; born from a virgin mother who was decended from royal rats from India.
I would personally go with a nice curry sauce.

go for it dude worst thing that could happen is that you like it then starve your snake to get some for you :P

let us know

[Cruciform]

So, how'd it taste?

[Lisa]

I thought one would have to skin the rat before cooking/freezing for the meat to be edible. I'm no expert with wild game mind you.

If you are saying that rabbits are not rodents, because of all those details, then why are capybaras considered the largest rodents in the world? I think they can weigh up to 30lbs too. They have HOOVES man. They can't stand on their hind legs. BTW, you may not believe me but my rabbit has stood on his back legs and held something in his paws before. Is he a rodent now?

I would say go for it too. I think a captive bred rat would be pretty clean. Also, for all of you that say most wild stuff is dirty. Not true. I hunt and all and deer are VERY clean. Rabbits are VERY clean, same with grouse, tarmagin, elk, cariboo, ducks, ect... I think the reason they are dirty is because of all the crap we put in their homes. THEIR HOMES! LOL. We don't want garbage in our backyard, do you think they do? Gulls only eat garbage cause we are giving to them. When undisturbed, animals are very clean and stuff. Anyways I'l stop my rambling.

By your standard I suppose swine, cattle, rabbits and chickens shouldn't be eaten either. Personally I would take a captive bred rat over any of that wild hunted crap people put down their hatch. As long as it is properly cooked there shouldn't be any issues.

your right i don't eat swine,cattle,rabbits or chicken because they are unclean. proper cooking is not everything. if you cooked a turd would you eat it? i would hope not even if it was cooked with sauce.rats are filthy animals. and i feed my snakes rats because it makes there be one less in the world and its there natural diet. if u want rats to become your natural diet i hear its very easy to get in to china so you should go there and eat all the rats you want.just hope you don't get to many diesease
