Big difference between guinea pigs and rats, guinea pigs are grazers and eat only vegetation, mainly grass in the wild. Rats will eat anything including rotting, diseased meat

As long as they're skinned and gutted.
Cooked nicely with herbs and served with a nice sauce, why not?
Mashed potatoes on the side?
Maybe rice or noodles.

never eaten it - turned it down in Guangzhou where the head of the power company had invited me out to dine on a boat floating in the Pearl River - the chef comes out to the boat obviously. We went around the fish+ stalls first and water rats were on offer. Managed to distract him but had to compromise on hedgehogs....

Which weren't bad - served as a potage and peppery in taste, one could say quite sharp.....

snake etc, the gall bladder flicked out and into a glass with mao tai and then, to follow, the blood into another glass with more mao tai, snake skin, the meat stir-fried with bamboo shoots etc and a final soup from the cartilage are all fairly common in Hangzhou and other restaurants in winter - the meat supposedly keeps one warm.

[Chipchopper]
