The first time someone is forced to eat a rat during a famine, it can be quite a shock. Trying to figure out the best way to cook and prepare this little critter isn’t always easy! Some people have found that adding spices like garlic and rosemary are helpful for making it more palatable – just don’t think about what you’re actually eating. And of course, ketchup helps too – with enough condiments you might even forget how much of an unconventional meal this is!

One thing’s for sure – when faced with extreme food shortages and having to turn to rats as sustenance, things can get pretty desperate. From trying different recipes (rat curry anyone?) or scavenging through garbage bins in hopes of finding something edible, these are measures few ever want to take. But when all else fails and your stomach starts grumbling louder than ever before…well let’s just say it makes that rat look like a delicious feast!
