how do you like your rats?

Peter Leonard · 2003-11-25T23:22:36+00:00

Although a controversial choice of sustenance, rats are very underrated and often overlooked when it comes to impressing the guests at the classic dinner party. Many people believe they are dirty and disease-carrying, and the truth is they probably are, but if you dropped round to your mates place on a Sunday and the menu included Ratburgers I doubt you'd forget the experience in a hurry. Today we are going to eat rats. For this recipe you will need: 7 medium to large sized sewer rats a colander (for a quick rinse) 7 kilos of salt 4 schooners of methylated spirits or lighter fluid a ball of string (jute is fine) 14 red marbles 2 cups extra virgin olive oil 300g pickled jalapenos 1 stomach pump 1 500g pack of cornflakes Firstly, run the rats under hot (not boiling) water in the colander for no more than a few seconds each; remember we have to be careful not to destroy the delicate flavour. Drink one schooner of your methylated spirits/lighter fluid, and in the meantime combine the salt and string with a brisk stirring motion in a 10-12 litre saucepan. once the salt and string is well mixed, pour two schooners of your chosen white spirit in with the oil and jalapenos. Get this mixture good and hot and piff all seven rats in from across the kitchen. Don't stand too close, especially if you're using a gas burner. By this time you should be ready for your second glass of lighter fluid. Put the lid on and burn vigorously for approximately two hours. when you come to, turn off the heat and add just enough water to separate the rats from each other, and serve on a bed of lettuce and cornflakes. with luck the cooking process will have opened their eye sockets enough to replace the eyes with red marbles. Sit back on your beanbag and enjoy 😀 This is one dinner party your friends will be talking about for a long time:thumb Please feel free to post other delicious and unusual 'ratcipes' here so we can all rediscover the joy of eating RATS. :thumb😀

They don't smell to bad if the marinade is prepared correctly.Also deep frying tends to seal in the juices and stop the smell. Just picture yourself biting into the freshly deep fried flesh whilst the flavour bursts in your mouth.mmmmmmmmmm,rattt:puke

Or something classical; a Sonata by Ratmaninov, perhaps...

Theres a great recipe for a Hot Rat Milkshake I read somewhere, Went like this -

Use an old 4 lt paint tin rather than a glass.
Drop in 4 - 6 baby sewer rats.
Pour in 2 lt of milk thats been in the sun for at least 4 days or chunky but creamy flem colour.
The rats will now shed their fluids which gives a great pungent flavour to the brew naturaly.
2 table spoons of fish paste or tuna pate.
and blend untill mix is quiet .
Garnish with sun dried beetroot and drink imediately.
You may need a spoon as it does become very sticky.

Of course if you dont like Rats then get a snake. This will not only keep the Rat population down but will amuse the kids for hours!!
