Field mice are a favorite dish in Western Vietnam. They are different from rats in landfills or at home that eat dirty food and are susceptible to plague. In Vietnam, hamsters are a specialty, thank you for visiting our country.

Hey Andy 🐀. Growing up in NYC I've seen some giants in the subway 🚇 system. I also have probably eaten some without knowing. I recall a time at Central Park by Columbus circle I purchased a "Kabob" from a street vendor. After eating it I noticed that my last chunk of meat had hair on it. Could have been cat but the fur looked like a subway rat. My friend and I confronted the vendor and he started yelling saying that we didn't buy it from him. When he refused a refund my buddy knocked his wagon over. I wouldn't want to eat the rat skin. However these rats are not living in a train station they are country rats. Definitely cleaner. A rodent is a rodent, rat, squirrel or rabbit. Enjoy.! Seeya next time ✝️

I think your friend went a bit o/b with the street vendor, but you're right he should have been honest about his source of protein & those subway/sewer rats would NOT have been healthy to eat. These 1s in VN certainly would be. Cambodia also farms field rats, but the species they have are HUGE! The size of CATS! I worked with a Cambo guy named Verak, he told me about them, & said they were so nice to eat. Very good meat.

See the pesticides being sprayed onto the not so ''natural, pesticide free'' rice fields at 1:08 to 1,11. It is ok with me that they eat them - it makes good sense. But please don't falsely glamorize the purity of the rice.

I agree. Oz has some of the cleanest countryside in which to farm animals! (WHY our beef & poultry is so good & salmonella free!) Rats are already HERE, why not FARM the things? They'd be healthy game meat! And they'd be easier than shooting 'roos all the time as you CAN'T farm marsupials!

In the region of Flanders in Belgium, muskrat was a local delicacy. We aren't allowed to hunt them anymore. They used to catch them on the banks of small streams. It's called "water rabbit", although it's neither a rat nor a rabbit. Actual rabbit meat is much more commonly eaten here, I personally like it stewed with beer and prunes. So "alternative" meat sources aren't that exotic. We have them in "the west" as well.

People who've eaten rats on the "Survivor" show have said rats taste good. I recall one where they were all squeamish and disgusted about having to eat it, but after one bite the now smiling and starving contestants said that they've got to catch more. They were so hungry that they even ate the bones.
