Those of you that are squeamish may not want to read this lol. Yes I have eaten rat. It's a little chewy imo. I've also eaten dog, cat, snake, bear, horse, elk, deer, skunk, coon,goat, grub worms, and a whole lot of other little critters lol. If its served to me and I get a fork in it before it gets off of my plate its ate. Most of the truly weird stuff was eaten over seas. I grew up dirt poor and hunted my entire life so killing and skining an animal isn't even a little weird to me. Trust me if we were stranded far from civilization you wouldn't go hungry with me around. Just don't ask what's for dinner you are probably better off not knowing. Lol
