Thai Cuisine – Rat!
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008Yes, I should be writing about Mexico, but this story caught my eye.
From the BBC…(and thank you BBC for eliminating my appetite this eve)
Thai fast food sellers are enjoying a boom in rat sales, as people learn to love the taste of the rodent.
While rat has long been eaten in Thailand’s poorer northern regions, a growing number of the country’s roadside vendors are now serving it up.
The rats are drowned and sold uncooked or ready to eat, with happy customers purchasing rat meat for as much as 150 baht ($4.82; £2.30) a kilogram.
“It’s better than chicken,” one customer told the AP news agency.
