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.

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.

 

:dancing:

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Bats are cute.

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.
