I’ve always heard of people in Asia eating cats and other creatures that just shouldn’t be consumed, but someone sent me an image and a quote today of a village in Taiwan that eat rats, like, all the time.
Blurb:
Both Restaurants in a Taiwan village display hairless rat carcasses in their kitchen windows before chopping off the heads and throwing the pint-sized bodies and tails into pots.
Both restaurants are full at meal times as the rat race for gnawing customers reaches fever pitch.
“Most people who come in here at first have a psychological barrier, but once they take a bite, they don’t mind.”
The rats grow up on crops from fields surrounding the village of Lucao in Chiayi county - which means they are not dirty rats from sewers.
All joking aside, I’m going to vomit. This is just fucking disgusting.
