How to cook Rats and Mice
With the abundant Rat and Mouse blogs of late I thought I would share some of my favorite recipes for cooking them.Bandwagon Mouse
Ingredients:-
6 freshly killed mice. (Substitute rats if you have them)
1 large onion, finely chopped.
1 box of tic tac’s. (Scampi fries or mint flavor)
Selection of cookies
250g Pirate Arrrs.
1 table spoon of lols.
Garlic, ginger & turmeric to taste.
Wash the mice in boiling water to remove the fleas and other things in their fur, remove the innards and leave to soak in fresh or cubed chicken stock.
Heat up a cast iron pan and add soulmate oil or olive oil if soulmate is not available, add the onions, ginger and garlic, a spoon of turmeric and Saute until the onions are soft, add the mice to the pan and cook on both sides until the fur is blizzard's, add the lols, the tic tacs and simmer for 2 valentines.
Serve on a bed of Pirate Arrrs and garnish with the cookies.
Bon appetit!

Not so early in the morning !
In West Africa, however, rats are till date a major item of diet. the giant rat (Cricetomys), the cane rat (Thryonomys), the common house mouse, and other species of rats and mice are all eaten.
According to a United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization report, they now comprise of over 50 percent of the locally produced meat eaten in some parts of Ghana. Between December 1968 and June 1970, 258,206 pounds of cane-rat meat alone were sold in one market in Accra!
It's really not THAT bad, yanno. Rats actually taste quite like chicken
Mimi!!!
Add any other rat you may feel like roasting over a bed of hot coal
.
Looking at that pic makes me hungry now.....
Gonna rummage through my almost empty fridge to see if there's anything that hasn't expired to eat!!
I just had chicken tikka and white beans.. but that image still makes me crave.. yummy!!
Incu, what happened to your ears?
Unla, Pets rats are really too small, unless they have been fattened up with sweetcorn they are not worth the effort.
Track, the feet are crunchy, however the claws need cutting off as they can cut the roof of your mouth.
... is a remedy for bed-wetting—eating a snack of dead mice on toast.
So if there are any who can confirm how successful this is ?
Track, Rodents are eaten everywhere, I dont see anything from with it.
Ob, We will need a Londoner to confirm the mouse on toast cure.
Nor rat in any other part of the world either
But I think I will avoid the world from now on, just in case
while rat population has been estimated to be seven billion rats across the planet.
So it's almost 1 to 1
We better eat them before they rise up and eat us
JMHO
Plus it also gives it me the "hulk" look... so who am I to complain..

Thanks Incu
You have no idea what your injesting
I was just the messenger.. it was Molly's choice..
It has less to do with what critter you're eating,
than what the critter you're eating has been eating.
Grain-fed rat is probably better quality meat than a lot of the commercially raised meats sold in stores.
A good example -
Grain/alfalfa-fed deer from farming areas tastes great.
Deer from remote area that have been eating black oak acorns, bark & pine needles/cones...less so.
Me? Not so much.
The duck may have been shot over a pristine lake, but you have no way of knowing where that bird was feeding the day before.
I'm much more comfortable with pheasant or grouse.
You have a good idea where they've lived their lives & on what they've been feeding.
Can't say I've ever eaten mouse or rat...except maybe at a fast food chicken stand.
I have, however, eaten quite a bit of farm country squirrel.
Perhaps some of the very best meat...period.
And realistically, they're basically furry-tailed rats.
'Put me on a desert island with anything that flies, walks or crawls, & after three days...one of us is gonna eat!'
Did you got a smoke you can borrow me
Not now, now now
And of course add the word "man" to every sentence.
