Keyrock's Hopefully Attractive Rodent Thread

Simple: convince a celebrity chef to make them the next 'must eat' middle class meat.

Good luck doing that with what is basically a two foot (?) long rat. Even with Fallout (and Terry Prachett) extensively promoting the concept of rat as a tasty snack it'll be a hard sell... except for the name. I can see a big market for Nutria Bars/ Jerky as a healthy snack, the name just sounds so healthy. Not sure Nutria-On-A-Stick quite parses right though.

 

(We can't even get people to eat rabbit, and they're both nice to eat and a noxious pest.)

The suckers get pretty big.  Over ten pounds easily, perhaps up to 15 to 20.  I used to see them all the time when we lived in New Orleans.

 

Nutria as a meat source?  Already been tried a couple of times with minimal success.

 

''I just don't think people like to eat things that they see dead on the highway,'' said Dr. Thomas, a Loyola University professor and director of the Louisiana Nature and Science Center. ''And there's dead nutria all along the roads down here.''

Point. Sorry. I always forget that other people's childhoods didn't involve copious rabbit stew.

I've probably posted this before but I'm posting it again. :p

 

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong. If you don't have something to add, don't post for the sake of it. And don't be afraid to post thoughts you are uncertain about, that's what discussion is for.

Won't they be impressed, I am a genius,
See how I transform this old rat,
Into a most delightful hat.


Hm, my compliments from me to you,
On this your most intriguing hat,
Consider, though, this substitute,
A bat in place of this old rat.

Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

I believe I'm correct in thinking that bats urinate while eating, because they have to keep their flying weight down.

 

That's one less redhead I need to worry about.

I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet. 
 

We have bunnies in our yard. One of them is completely fearless and will leap at you like something out of Monty Python. They scare off the wild cats whenever they are let out. They really do have (razor sharp) big pointy teeth and can draw blood effortlessly.
