no, we didn't eat them directly, but the *******s were everywhere.
Vietnamese ate whatever they could find and I've seen rats on a
contraption like you'd cook a whole package of hotdogs on. fur and
all. my pal says they were nutrias and I say mousemeat. Viets ate dog
before mousemeat...and the dogs knew it and treated the locals
accordingly. I took a bit once so I knew I COULD eat it if I HAD to
but I didn't so I DIDN'T. balut maybe...1000yr old eggs...I'd die
first. I'd use fish eyes to catch a whole fish...but I do understand
you eat what is available or you don't eat. I had a messhall and they
didn't. who was better off? who knows. time for breakfast...here
kitty kitty.
