(FDA) US Food and Drug Administration is now very concerned that an estimated a million pounds of rat meat, which is passed off as “boneless chicken wings”, was sold in restaurants and stores across America
I have nothing against Rat as meat or people eating rats. What makes me angry is when a company or a person try to cheat on customers by selling rat meat as boneless chicken wings

Been caught doing similar in some UK restaurants (and probably the world over) for as long as I can remember.

back in the 70's here in Australia KFC was selling Kentucky Fried Cat, found only after a woman got a bone stuck in her throat. She went to hospital where they informed her it was a cat bone!!

I dread to think what I've eaten over the years from various takeaways and roadside cafes and the like.
Probably best that I don't know.

A restaurant involved is called the road kill café and their special for today is poodles and noodles if anyone is interested. Supplies are however limited.

Not sure which is worse, the above or the Guolizhuang – Beijing’ Famous Restaurant.

WARNING: Googling the above will bring up the adult nature of their speciality dishes and are therefore not fit for posting on this forum, especially the pictures.

I used to eat Roast Beef in UK restaurants in 1992, lots of it, which should be medium at best.

After returning to Germany, there was that mad cow disease scandal.Especially in the UK.

Now, 25 years later, look what I've become since that time: Totally, hmmm, somewhat confused I am.

So, what's the problem, anyone?

No, just kidding... Glad to have survived that.

Honestly, rat meet well done can't be that bad, but who would order it, if it were classified as what it is?


Edit: @ Jim: Arrgh, my eyes. Anyone some eye - bleach?

More and more my wife and I do not eat at restaurants if it can be avoided. Not just for rat, cat or whatever critter meat that might be on he plate but cleanliness has become something restaurants do not address. If the dining area looks like a dumpster imagine what the kitchen looks like. I'm not one for spending the evening retching from a poorly kept kitchen.

With all these rats being eaten what will the schools do when they run short of rat milk?

So tell me again how we can trust corporations to self-police and that there is no need for oversight.

This gives new meaning to the term wok the dog, or is that walk the dog.
