The plague wasn't due to rats, but to fleas, IIRC. If the rats are kept like other domesticated animals, this shouldn't pose any problem.yukio_neko^_o said:As to why someone would maybe not want to eat rat, remember the plague?
Sometimes CDC puts emphasis on the rat, reading again now, mostly on the flea... A week or two ago I sat down and watched 5 or 6 different short CDC films about various diseases and scary things that people could use to try to infect cities... (why, I don't know---?). Still, the fleas are always listed as 'flea-rats', no rats, no fleas!bossel said:The plague wasn't due to rats, but to fleas, IIRC.

True (although this counts for other rodents as well), but as I said: As long as you keep them like other domesticated animals, it shouldn't pose much of a problem. I doubt that many of the people who keep rats as pets get the plague.yukio_neko^_o said:Still, the fleas are always listed as 'flea-rats', no rats, no fleas!
I had no clue about this!Ebichu_chan said:When I visited Japan actually I didn't see any rat/mouse food there, I'm not sure whether they eat rat/mouse, but we are Chinese (esp. in China mainland) and Vietnamnese do
On last January 2006 there were a very serious problem happened that the meatball (bakso) in Indonesia are made by rat meat also formalin (formalin: Meaning and Definition of), a kind of chemical.
So almost all of meatball restaurant and sellers were getting suffer on last January, esp. regarding rat meat problem. Some news about ingredients of meatball (rat meat) you can see in these following link :
Finally, I heard based on research that formalin is not dangerous to be eaten in some degree precentage, it is only dangerous to breathe formalin.
Any friends can explain whether rat meat is dangerous for our body or rats are no problem to be eaten?
I thought I really love to eat meatball so far... and till now I'm still continuing to consume it, who cares about formalin & rat meats, hehehe
The first time I read this, I misread this to be, "made of insects inside a pig's head..."It is a meaty paste made of the insides of a pig's head.. It was pretty tasty actually!
Gaijinian said:I think Malcom X said that pork is a cross between rat and dog, or something like that. So, I guess you could say that Japanese eat rat, and dog.

I'm glad it did not say that.
Didn't Japanese people eat monkey brains once?
