This rat dish is a popular delicacy in Guangzhou, China.
Many foreigners thought the Chinese passed the rat meat as chicken meat. Well, some dishonest hawkers do that. But there are eateries that sell meats of rat, snake, dog, cat, horse.... etc. I'll try to show you the actual dishes when I'm in China. ^-^
Well I had guinea pig in Peru. I am not sure if I would try rat. Some times in business travel you get in situations where you dont want to offend the host. Oh well as long as it is not a sewer rat, but free range!
It's really jungle survival in China. Hahaha... I don't mind snakes and stuffs, not that we haven't ate those in army survival course. But rats? Yeeeeeyerrrrrrrrrrrr...
Ok, ECL, I'll pass on that too. I don't eat duck so the Peking Duck store wouldn't be for me either.
We had a 'pass around' dinner with many, many, courses and dishes one time in Beijing [2004]. I can't remember all the meals, that one was really good.
I can't imagine eating a RAT! Are you the one taking those pics? Ewwww...Thanks for letting us know! Hubby will be off for another business trip to China soon..
I got forwarded these pics too. I was and still hoping that it is a haox. Just too disgusting to believe it's true. How could they do this, for conscience sake!
Eastcoastlife, can't get my tongue around those rats...so sorry! I'm sure some people enjoy them. Happy WW. Come visit me maryt.wordpress.com and workofthepoet.blogspot.com
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! well I have been trying to lose weight and yet seem hungry all the time.. I think this post just helped me with my hunger problem.. because I don't think I want to eat anything ever again.
ECl, u never tried horse before? It's fairly common here, and I've tried it only once or twice. Tastes exactly like beef, but much tougher and leaner. Rats? Errr, I'd like to think it's all in the mind, and that it might even taste better than chicken, but I think vegetables are always a safer bet.. ;-)
EEEWWWWW! Okay, now I've lost my appetite. lol Thanks for the info...disgusting it is. I am amazed that someone would actually WANT to eat that. Happy WW!
Are you going to tell me that it tastes like chicken? I think I'll pass on rat, dog, cat and horse. I will eat the snake though. Have a great WW and thanks for sharing. :)
well the good news is that China is on the other side of the world although I know many hunters who eat squirels who in my book are nothing more than tree rats.
People in China eat everything.

ReplyDeleteSomething in life are not meant to be eaten
Yes, I agree with you. Some crazy people just want to taste some thing uncommon.
I encountered one scary person who wonders how differently a woman tastes, from a man. *shudders*
Peranakan Dude,
ReplyDeleteaiyooooo... tag again. You see me 'eat full, no shit give' izit? (jiak ba bo sai pang)

ReplyDeleteWell I had guinea pig in Peru. I am not sure if I would try rat. Some times in business travel you get in situations where you dont want to offend the host. Oh well as long as it is not a sewer rat, but free range!
ReplyDeleteYuk!!!! Time for me to run the other way!
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried those, and I don't feel like challenging myself to do so. :) I'll pass!
ReplyDeleteYeeks! yucks! Scary...they eat everything, don't they ? :O Almost like how some people in other countries eat fried guinea pigs and armadillo!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, have you eaten one yet? P
ReplyDeleteLike the say about the Chinese, "Anything with its back facing the sun is edible for the Chinese".
It's really jungle survival in China. Hahaha... I don't mind snakes and stuffs, not that we haven't ate those in army survival course. But rats? Yeeeeeyerrrrrrrrrrrr...

ReplyDeleteNot my cup of tea- but thanks for sharing! Learn something new everyday!
ReplyDeleteI've lived a sheltered life. The most unusual thing I've ever eaten is frog legs. However, I don't think I would want be able to choke down rat.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter was born in Guangzhou (Xuwen). I wouldn't be so bold as to try that dish though. Maybe if I didn't know what it was. Happy WW.
ReplyDelete*faint*
ReplyDeleteEew.. how does it taste? Never in my life I'm going to eat this.
ReplyDeleteWTF! I baru makaned! I wanna *vomit*
ReplyDeleteHehehe ! A very provocating post, I think I would try it why not, but I couldn't eat cats, dogs or a horse that would be impossible.

Congratulations, ecl, you have successfully squashed my appetite! Gross! Yucks!
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't know what it was, I'd probably eat it though.
Why, thank you very much for helping me in my diet.
ReplyDeleteBeing vegetarian, Rat would not form part of the diet! They make excellent pets. Im not sure what sort of eating a rat would make. Happy WW
ReplyDeleteYummy!
ReplyDeleteNormally, FOOD is making me very hungry and drooling, but this makes me drool for other reasons.... sickness... YUK x millions!!!!

I can't imagining myself eating rats. But I guess if you don't know then it may pass.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the education
No way!!!!!! I'll stick to chicken!
ReplyDeleteYikes, I can't imagine eating that - or anything that could be that... Interesting though! Happy WW
ReplyDeleteI think I'll have to pass on the rat. Of course I don't eat chicken other than the breast.
ReplyDeleteI guess some people are equally appalled by eating beef or any animal so we shouldn't be so sensitive to the rat.
But still, eeek.
Very interesting WW. I'll be back...
I know why some people are strict vegetarians!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG the pic in ur previous entry so funny lol!!!!
