As other posters have pointed out, mice don't have much meat on them. I suppose you could make them pets and fatten them up but in the usual case you are frying eggs in the kitchen and one of the varmints scoots between your slippers.

If you`re swift you can stomp on the tail of the varmint and then wring its wretched neck. But as I said there`s not going to be much meat on it.

However you can harvest the innards. Unless you are in a state of utter deprivation, and heaven forbid you have a family to feed, you can discard the intestines unless you are feeling industrious enough to make little sausages.

The brain is tiny but tasty. A special treat for someone special.
