I wouldn't have a problem with trying farmed rat meat. There are plenty of food sources out there that are being overlooked that are less resource intensive than some of the animals we currently eat.
Asolutely!
I'll try anything (cooked) once, but I draw the line at live animals that are still moving... like a grubworm sandwiche. Grubworm pate would be doable... i think.
I would even try grlled leg 'o man in a very, very, bad pinch.
If you want farm raised RATS, go to any good sized pet store and you will have a big choice, and they are all farm raised so to speak. These rat farms raise them to be pets for children, for experiments by medical people, to feed to snakes, etc.
If you want to try a farm raised rat, just go to a pet store and buy one. Personally I don't eat rats.
1. To sell it in the U.S., you'd have to come up with a fancy-sounding name for the meat and charge a lot of money for it. Once it catches on among the Hollywood and Hipster elite, then you can drop the price and sell it in grocery stores. Good luck. (Or you could start out calling it "North Korean cuisine" but you'd still have to charge a lot for it, or people won't eat it).
Bingo! We've got a winner here! Excellent idea! If I recall, historically, I believe that's the route another meat choice started here, chicken?, the rich were eating it, too expensive for the poor to eat it, and when the price dropped, everybody was eating it!
And yes, use a French name for it along with a fancy name for the sauce!
Id have to eat like a dozen (or two) to get me full, but sure... skew them up.
