Rat Meat Sold as Lamb Highlights Food Fears in China

[Gerald]

Rat meat is avoided,it would be a crisis that would otherwise eat it.:yep:

HONG KONG — Even for China’s scandal-numbed diners, news that the lamb simmering in the pot may actually be rat took the country’s endless outrages about food hazards into a new realm of disgust.

Wow, something sold in China is counterfeit and made from disgusting and possibly hazardous ingredients.

Color me shocked.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Some cultures eat rats, Vietnamese for instance, why shouldn't others.

Rats tend to eat fairly clean food when their taste tester approves it.

Yes, a pack of rats will designate one of their own to test their food before the bulk of them consume any of it.
But, in China, the rats might come from a lab so there's no telling what you're being fed.:hmmm:

I'll have rice thank yu.

[Madox58]

Rat really don't taste that bad if cooked right.
And your hungrier then ****.





So I'm told!

$1.6 million worth of it, if you're that industrious surely you could earn it the hard way too. Just in too much hurry I guess?

Them eating rats, I have no problem with that. I'd eat a rat if it was prepared properly.

But how can those savages eat dogs :nope:

[Armistead]

If the sauce is right, I can eat about anything.
