I've been offered rat numerous times, not really rat but part of the same family for sure, 20 lb. Laba (big rat ) & Akori ( 4-5 pound rat ), have been offered Cayman as well, local name for a alligator/crock and shark, I ate some shark but did cheez wizz and crackers for the other meals. I went to camp to replace a buddy and there was a cage with a bunch of Akori's in it and Gran said the local guys caught them to fatten up and eat - O K nothing out of the norm. Its Guyana, and the Demerarra River is there and Demerarra rum is the best in the world so I brought in a big supply. Gran and I got hammered and went , by flashlite to the kitchen for supper at 2 AM. , cause I was the new guy they cooked up a special meal, ya you guessed it - rat, Gran lifted the lid on the fry pan and said chicken and grabed a piece, I did the cheez wizz thing but did look back in the pan and told Gran he was eating a rat , he said BS it's chicken - I said "Gran look you can see the teeth, there's the eye and the burnt ear and front arm, your hanging onto the back leg and chewing on a rats ass" Well the gaging,spitting and swearing was perfect, I still tease him 14 years later. 9 days after I got bit by a posinous snake - Far de Lance and get taken to the local town , the 60 bed hospital was closed so I'm the only person there, kinda spooky considering the circumstanses, the medic brings me snakemeat & fish head soup - like real fish heads floating around, I couldn't evan look at it so I put it in the next room, something ate it that night and I told the medic it was wonderful, I eat beef now, I know its not all that good for ya but it sure beats rat.
