How eating everything become culture for you? Rats are intelligent animals in their own way! The Rat name Magawa save hundreds' of human life in Vietnam. Do you know that? Your those days poverty become fesyen now, and you give new term as 'culture' for that!
Before going "OOOH GROSS, YUCKY ETC", you need to understand that the Vietnamese in the XX century fought war after war after war. These people are true survivors.
I understand that and know what I respect the Vietnamese but when a country is in such disarray people need to hunt rats to survive that's when you know it's bad. It's sad that our so called governments tell us they are protecting us yet give no fks about their own people when it comes down to it.. while they sit in their giant palaces eating the best food, drinking the best wines and fucking till they go blind while us normal folk are out there living like vikings just less balls 😢
Andrew, I, just, want to tell you how impress I am about your video of this village in Vietnam's field rats sell and consumption. I have never heard nor seen anything like it! And, once I got over my shock, I appreciated it your objective, unbiased, respectful, and honest look at this topic. It's easy [for most of us] to say, "I can Never Eat A Rat." But, that is because we haven't known hunger! Thus, thank you for opening my mind and learn see things with a new perspective. Your video humbled me. And, keep up the Great Work that you do!
They're more of a real treat right after harvesting, or we may call it "tradition" or "culture" - because it was down right stupid not to take a free gift from nature in your hard time and well back then any time was hard time, everyone knew that so they kept doing it. Talking about food... I doubt anyone has the guts to say that our parents and their parents and their parents and their... (you guess it) ate bad food. They ate what's now called natural, wild, organic, or at the very least, pasture-raised in our standard. Comparing to that, we would have the right to bear grief in our heart acknowledging that we're eating way worse ones.
How does this channel only have 92k subs. every video is shot beautifully and respectfully. Stunning visuals from all walks of life. More power to you Andrew, I pray for your success.
That's because this is a fairly new channel. Give it a year or 2 and this channel will blow up hehe. Yeah i agree that the vids were shot professionally and beautifully and deserves to have more subs.
Field mice are a favorite dish in Western Vietnam. They are different from rats in landfills or at home that eat dirty food and are susceptible to plague. In Vietnam, hamsters are a specialty, thank you for visiting our country.
Over a million cattle died in the Texas Panhandle fire the other day. With more land going to solar farms also. Cattle and pork,sheep will be high costing. Rats are far cheaper to raise also than chicken or even squirrels. People will be eating rats soon because of cost.
@@rockyabdoellah431 well the rice fields itself very very large wide and long you can not see across, the rat eat only rice from many many miles rive fields only country side ,if city rats impossible I guessed
I wouldn't hesitate. It's not a NYC sewer rat! It is eating organically grown food, living clean and a readily renewable food source, bringing income to a village. The way things are going on this planet, people have to stop being so ridiculous when it comes to animal protein. Your videos are very informative and lovely to watch!
Stephanie, former US POW's shot sown in North Vietnam have told stories on how they "improved" their protein intake by catching snakes to eat. It was always a double treat when they found a frog in the snake's belly.
When I was a kid I remember my father who was a marine and was one of the few first deployed there in the early 60s I think and he told me of a village that's sole income was rats for food . I didn't believe him then but I do now as an adult . You brought back a memory that I totally forgot being he died when I was an older teen . Thanks for the memory kick .👍👍👍
As a child, my Pops used to tell me stories about how they would catch rats caught in the rice fields of Philippines. My Pops would tell me how delicious they were, although, squeemishingly i had always disagreed.. Thank You Andrew for sharing this video.. I now have a better insight of what my Pop's was trying to share with me 💯🙏
Remember family, these are rats that feed on plants, fruits, and grain. Our ancestors been hunting rodents for thousands of years just like any other game animal.
My understanding is Americans won't eat rabbit as they see it as a rodent (which it is).. However, American immigrants from Europe often ate rabbit in their home countries..
U.S. people are so different from other countries. Thing is we have never had true hunger issues. There are millions and millions of acres to grow good and the same to hunt large game. And stores never run out of beef, chicken, fish ect. So much food here that more is wasted and thrown away each day that could feed a whole country of people in the 3rd world. Then there's the amount of people in the countries themselves. The usa only has 350 million people living in it, yet it's massive land. Some of these other places are small , like the size of 1 state here, yet has several hundred million people in them and hardly any fresh water or land avaliable to grow food. They have to depend on other countries to ship them commodity, like bare min. Flour, wheat, soybeans ,corn ect. So these people are hungry and may only get 1 bowl of food a day. So to them this rat meat may be the only meat they get besides maybe fish. And theses people are very poor, the whole family must do some type of jobs to earn what little they make so they can buy simple things to you and I, like salt pepper, different raw veges from each other or trade.even children have work to do. I feel like if I were in this type situation, I would eat what I had to so I could survive. It's meat, just a different type meat. I've had family that hunted and ate squirrels. To me they are cute little animals that live in trees, like tree rats. I do not eat them, but my mom and grandmother loved to eat them 50 years ago when I was a child. Just like they did deer, wild hogs, wild duck and turkeys ect. A lot of Americans just got spoiled to store bought meat. But it was killed and skinned somewhere, they just don't want to think about that.
It was brave of him to eat it.. I am sure it did taste good but it's psychological... The Koreans eat dogs... And why not? What's the difference between eating dogs and other sensitive intelligent animals like pigs? But.. I don't think I could eat it.😲
Most certainly not everything tastes like chicken... Certainly not beef, not even other birds like duck or turkey.. But yes, lots of stuff does taste similar..Eg Frog legs 😂 Apparently crocodile too!
Im hungover as sh** right now and ive literally found you today and binged on your content... even managed to build a hunger after seeing them rat dishes 😂❤😂
For those who are confused these rats arent the same one u find in ur houses...these are field rats as clearly shown in the video.. Pls refrain urself from watching this type of sensitive videos if ur not a meat eater as it can cause serious distress and other issues .. Anyway have a great day all!!

Beautiful shots, compelling storytelling and above all a respectful approach to the locals with the intention to learn and not showing superiority. NatGeo...please hire Andrew and let him continue doing beautiful RUclips videos like these. Subbed!
In the neighboring country Philippines there are some remote places where people like eating the rice field rats. They say it's clean because the rats eat rice. They say the liver of the rats cooked with soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar tastes great.
Hey Andy 🐀. Growing up in NYC I've seen some giants in the subway 🚇 system. I also have probably eaten some without knowing. I recall a time at Central Park by Columbus circle I purchased a "Kabob" from a street vendor. After eating it I noticed that my last chunk of meat had hair on it. Could have been cat but the fur looked like a subway rat. My friend and I confronted the vendor and he started yelling saying that we didn't buy it from him. When he refused a refund my buddy knocked his wagon over. I wouldn't want to eat the rat skin. However these rats are not living in a train station they are country rats. Definitely cleaner. A rodent is a rodent, rat, squirrel or rabbit. Enjoy.! Seeya next time ✝️
I think your friend went a bit o/b with the street vendor, but you're right he should have been honest about his source of protein & those subway/sewer rats would NOT have been healthy to eat. These 1s in VN certainly would be. Cambodia also farms field rats, but the species they have are HUGE! The size of CATS! I worked with a Cambo guy named Verak, he told me about them, & said they were so nice to eat. Very good meat.
I'm not sure I would partake in this meal, but I am curious about the bones. Do they filet the meat or cook it with the bones like fried chicken? The bones would be very small and you would have to be careful eating these.
6:36.. You'd swear they were wee chicken wings from afar. These mice look way healthier than the ones in NYC. These mice will end up tasting like chicken,ngl. Great video by the way. Greetings from 🇬🇧
Call me crazy but i would actually try this dish never let it be said I'm culturally bias. The fact that they actually feed on rice and not the crap that New York City rats eat on... Andrew thanks for the enlightenment i really enjoyed this video.
I gotta think there's a good reason why, over the ages, the overwhelming majority of humans didn't include rats in their meat diet. What did they learn over all that time?
Chuột ở thành phố, bệnh viện nhà ở không ai ăn đâu bạn ơi. Chuột này săn bắt ngoài đồng ruộng hoặc chuột họ nuôi cho thức ăn cỏ,mía,ngô... Thức ăn sạch.
These rats are probably the tastiest of varieties with their diet unlike the ones which rummage through waste bags and travel through urban sewers in big cities. I actually though this was a BBC documentary at first ❤
@@drone2u england.we don't have to eat rats etc we have progressed from using wood to eat with ,we don't have to eat or cook on the streets, and we have such things as hygiene. So yes I will say we are more civilised than a lot of countries
@@dejavoue88hahaha you mean England the country that stole billions and billions of resources from other countries and destabilize them, and made them “ poor” in the first place. England was the nastiest place that ever existed compared to the Aztecs. You guys never showered, didn’t brush your teeth, didn’t have any hygiene and BROUGHT RATS TO THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE and possibly all over the world, even in Vietnam. You learned hygiene from the Aztecs a civilized nation that had shampoo and body wash … England is LATE TO BEING called CIVILIZED.
I'm glad I saw it. No longer feel disgusting or hate rats or mice. We have been programmed about everything which many things are wrong such as cultural differences, religions and the way we want to live in life differently..all cultures are fine, all religions are and all opinions and views or natures are fine.
Exactly .and diversity is good .I am a vegetarian now by choice but live and let live .is my motto Fresh food as opposed to chemically produced is always good
No they aren't 😂 there is right and wrong . Eg. the Muslim ppl trade was a part of their religion. Should we respect it ? NO slavery is wrong regardless if it was ur culture/religion Not all cultures/traditions are good and no one actually believe that all cultures are good
I'm from Italy and I spent a good portion of my life in the Far East, working for Companies dealing in stones (marbles, granites, etc...)... Well, it was a very good experience... I spent two years in Brunei, Malaysia and Philippines...I also visited India, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, I stayed for a while in Indonesia and orher Countries (Thailand, Japan...). I practically ate everything those areas offered to me at that time, i e. snakes (the python is very good) roasted monkeys, frogs, snails, various kinds of seafood, birds, and so on.. But, honestly, I don't think I would eat rats... I remember them in Brunei (Tikus😅) ..The Kampong Ayer (Water Village) of Bandar Seri Begawan ❤ was full with them... They also crossed the Muara river, coming from the jungle ( very good swimmers) waiting for the remnants of the food that the cooks threw out of the messhall of the jobsite we were working in (the New Sultan's Palace and Government Residence)... They were big and black, and, frankly speaking, they didn't inspire positive feelings 😂 to me.... However, they were great times, and I will feel nostalgy of those areas and cultures forever.... Greetings from Italy to you all... Franco
It's better and healthier than the stuff you get from KFC or pizza hut which are often made from caged chicken fed antibiotics, grains laced with chemicals, etc.
zerpents you seem to be skipping over the fact that every species alive has a Species Specific Diet. what is natural about needing a trap, and a long assembly line processing, then needing to cook and add oils/breadcrumb/seasoning - just for a meal? seems to me we were born with the tools for reaching up, grabbing an apple or banana, and eating fruits. i'd be curious about the average lifespan of everyday rat consumer.
@@an0therdimensi0n99 - Herbivores have herbivore teeth for chewing grass and carnivores have teeth for cutting and tearing meat. Humans have omnivore teeth. Teeth designed for both. Humans species specific diet must therefore include meat. We do not have cow teeth.
I was invited to dinner in Lima Peru and as I was eating my relative kept telling me this is rat and I thought he was pulling my leg, I ate didn't think much of it until I realized what it was, Guinea Pig, though it tasted good getting it through my throat into my stomach became extremely challenging, the moral of the story it is the eye and the Brain what eats, I'm sure; to us in the West eating rats is disgusting and impossible but then we did not grow grow up eating it .
Damn bro, Andrew the rat you ate didn't even look like a rat. looks like a piece of fried chicken. Love this video. keep it coming. You are under rated bro. More people needs to subscribes your channel. I've seen many videos of food channels here and your style has become my second favorite aside from Sonny.
i started out with a "fuck no im not going to eat that" and im quite adventurous eater, like, brains and eyeballs and guts and whatnot, fish liver etc etc etc .... and i ended up thinking i gotta try this! im googling tickets for summer to vietnam.
Organic as it can get. From Farm fields to the table! I bet it does not cost much for a plate of it. Western nations need to start learning how to substitute the usual meats like chicken, beef, pork, lamb.
I agree. Oz has some of the cleanest countryside in which to farm animals! (WHY our beef & poultry is so good & salmonella free!) Rats are already HERE, why not FARM the things? They'd be healthy game meat! And they'd be easier than shooting 'roos all the time as you CAN'T farm marsupials!
Một kilo thịt chuột tương đương với một kilo thịt bò nếu đó là mùa mưa bão, nếu thời tiết nắng nóng thịt 3 kilo thịt bò đổi lấy 1kilo thịt chuột thì cũng không có mà đổi 😂.
In the region of Flanders in Belgium, muskrat was a local delicacy. We aren't allowed to hunt them anymore. They used to catch them on the banks of small streams. It's called "water rabbit", although it's neither a rat nor a rabbit. Actual rabbit meat is much more commonly eaten here, I personally like it stewed with beer and prunes. So "alternative" meat sources aren't that exotic. We have them in "the west" as well.
@thekraken1173 they are an invasive species, not native to Europe. In Belgium they are actively hunted by the government. EU law prohibits the use of the animal in any way. This includes hunting and preparing them as food.
@@FailedFlea93 they are indeed very cute and fun to watch (but not when they play in traffic)... And to answer your question, "One small bite at a time.... Because they have small bones." ❤️ ... It's almost like a Redneck rite of passage.
That rat meat is likely healthier than 80% of meat in US grocery stores - no hormones, fed on natural, pesticide free food, etc. If I visited there I would try it if I knew it was processed in the town featured here.
Bạn nói rất đúng 👍 Món thịt chuột là một món ăn của thiên nhiên ban tặng nó cũng như con sóc,con thỏ ở trong rừng đó thôi. Nhiều người ở Việt Nam không ăn họ cũng e ngại nhưng với tôi nó là một đặc sản. Mua phải theo mùa chứ không phải muốn ăn là có.
See the pesticides being sprayed onto the not so ''natural, pesticide free'' rice fields at 1:08 to 1,11. It is ok with me that they eat them - it makes good sense. But please don't falsely glamorize the purity of the rice.
In the majority of countries in the world, their people are afraid of rats, but the people who live around the Mekong River (Southeast Asia) have a place for rats in their food menu. My whole body trembled. please Leave the recipe

Beautiful shots, compelling storytelling and above all a respectful approach to the locals with the intention to learn and not showing superiority. NatGeo...please hire Andrew and let him continue doing beautiful RUclips videos like these. Subbed!
Great video! Also a good example why you should always rinse your rice.
The villagers would really love Newyork😂
In the neighboring country Philippines there are some remote places where people like eating the rice field rats. They say it's clean because the rats eat rice. They say the liver of the rats cooked with soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar tastes great.
this is such an original and well-crafted youtube video.
This is by far the best video I've come across. I'm a fan now it's just awesome . I want to try it . Looks Delicious
Hey Andy 🐀. Growing up in NYC I've seen some giants in the subway 🚇 system. I also have probably eaten some without knowing. I recall a time at Central Park by Columbus circle I purchased a "Kabob" from a street vendor. After eating it I noticed that my last chunk of meat had hair on it. Could have been cat but the fur looked like a subway rat. My friend and I confronted the vendor and he started yelling saying that we didn't buy it from him. When he refused a refund my buddy knocked his wagon over. I wouldn't want to eat the rat skin. However these rats are not living in a train station they are country rats. Definitely cleaner. A rodent is a rodent, rat, squirrel or rabbit. Enjoy.! Seeya next time ✝️
I think your friend went a bit o/b with the street vendor, but you're right he should have been honest about his source of protein & those subway/sewer rats would NOT have been healthy to eat.
These 1s in VN certainly would be.
Cambodia also farms field rats, but the species they have are HUGE! The size of CATS!
I worked with a Cambo guy named Verak, he told me about them, & said they were so nice to eat. Very good meat.
@@DMSProduktions I didn't tip over his Cart.
@@edward2448 Ah ok, your friend then!
Any one eating in Asian restaurants has probably eaten things they never wanted to.
@@ariamason9324 Clispy fli lat la!
I'm not sure I would partake in this meal, but I am curious about the bones. Do they filet the meat or cook it with the bones like fried chicken? The bones would be very small and you would have to be careful eating these.
AMAZING BROTHER....GREAT WORK. That is def not a typical city rat. You're a brave man
This episode sums up what this channel is about, a really in depth or an extension of Sonny's Best ever Food review show... 👍
They need to come over to NYC…it’ll be a buffet here for them.
Hahahahahaha
😂😂😂
city rats ate trash
And they are huge…they can have left over for nextmeal🤢🤢🤢
😂
Finally a good video for your personality
Great video Andrew!! I like that you made it whole!!!
6:36.. You'd swear they were wee chicken wings from afar. These mice look way healthier than the ones in NYC. These mice will end up tasting like chicken,ngl. Great video by the way. Greetings from 🇬🇧
Call me crazy but i would actually try this dish never let it be said I'm culturally bias. The fact that they actually feed on rice and not the crap that New York City rats eat on... Andrew thanks for the enlightenment i really enjoyed this video.
They are bush rats no't domestic rats therefore they are just like any other animals.
Exactly…no different from squirrel or rabbit
Rats from the country are different from the city. Cleaner.
Exactly! what i was gonna say
The rats still eat its own feces in the fields buddy. Be quiet.
I don't think anyone would eat city rats.
Another option for when the bottom drops out, James Clavelle's King Rat comes to mind. Good on them for making do❤
OK, with such superlative Rat-meat review, I'm a convert (in a million years).
I gotta think there's a good reason why, over the ages, the overwhelming majority of humans didn't include rats in their meat diet. What did they learn over all that time?
Amazing video, i am also Mongoloid people from Indian state of Manipur. We aldo ate paddy field rats during our childhood. It was very tasty indeed👌
We welcome more of these people to come over to New York City.
Para pemakan tikus lebih berguna jika tinggal di kota yang penuh tikus...bisa habis semua tikus mereka makan..😂😂😂😂😂😂
Chuột ở thành phố, bệnh viện nhà ở không ai ăn đâu bạn ơi. Chuột này săn bắt ngoài đồng ruộng hoặc chuột họ nuôi cho thức ăn cỏ,mía,ngô... Thức ăn sạch.
So New York has dirty rats.@@thaoau9271
These rats are probably the tastiest of varieties with their diet unlike the ones which rummage through waste bags and travel through urban sewers in big cities. I actually though this was a BBC documentary at first ❤
I'm so glad I live in a civilised country
Where
@@drone2u england.we don't have to eat rats etc we have progressed from using wood to eat with ,we don't have to eat or cook on the streets, and we have such things as hygiene. So yes I will say we are more civilised than a lot of countries
@dejavoue88 very interesting but I think being poor is no excuse for not having basic hygiene.. anyway good for you and wish you the best.
@@dejavoue88Actually The Brits have terrible hygiene, few bathe every day!!
@@dejavoue88hahaha you mean England the country that stole billions and billions of resources from other countries and destabilize them, and made them “ poor” in the first place. England was the nastiest place that ever existed compared to the Aztecs. You guys never showered, didn’t brush your teeth, didn’t have any hygiene and BROUGHT RATS TO THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE and possibly all over the world, even in Vietnam. You learned hygiene from the Aztecs a civilized nation that had shampoo and body wash … England is LATE TO BEING called CIVILIZED.
Don’t knock until you try it. The only difference between that rats and other species is what’s going on in your mind
Would you eat dogs and cats?
I'm glad I saw it. No longer feel disgusting or hate rats or mice. We have been programmed about everything which many things are wrong such as cultural differences, religions and the way we want to live in life differently..all cultures are fine, all religions are and all opinions and views or natures are fine.
Exactly .and diversity is good .I am a vegetarian now by choice but live and let live .is my motto Fresh food as opposed to chemically produced is always good
No they aren't 😂 there is right and wrong . Eg. the Muslim ppl trade was a part of their religion. Should we respect it ? NO slavery is wrong regardless if it was ur culture/religion
Not all cultures/traditions are good and no one actually believe that all cultures are good
@@personandI’m so sick of culture simps.
I'm getting hungry

I'm from Italy and I spent a good portion of my life in the Far East, working for Companies dealing in stones (marbles, granites, etc...)...
Well, it was a very good experience...
I spent two years in Brunei, Malaysia and Philippines...I also visited India, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, I stayed for a while in Indonesia and orher Countries (Thailand, Japan...).
I practically ate everything those areas offered to me at that time, i e. snakes (the python is very good) roasted monkeys, frogs, snails, various kinds of seafood, birds, and so on..
But, honestly, I don't think I would eat rats...
I remember them in Brunei (Tikus😅) ..The Kampong Ayer (Water Village) of Bandar Seri Begawan ❤ was full with them... They also crossed the Muara river, coming from the jungle ( very good swimmers) waiting for the remnants of the food that the cooks threw out of the messhall of the jobsite we were working in (the New Sultan's Palace and Government Residence)...
They were big and black, and, frankly speaking, they didn't inspire positive feelings 😂 to me....
However, they were great times, and I will feel nostalgy of those areas and cultures forever....
Greetings from Italy to you all...

As far as the entire Clade of Rats goes, we only have 4 classifications.
Mice, Rats, Politicians and Business Partners.
New York City Rats are much much bigger ;+)
Adam's, Brag, the Squad et al.
Chuột ở thành phố cho thêm tiền họ cũng không lấy chuột đâu
Rats from the city is different from farm
who can guarantee whether the rat is from the city or from the fields.😐
They have passport and visa stamp on it.
@@Me-cat720 😂🤣
They have birth certificate..no worries.. 😁
It's break my heart anytime when I am talking serious somebody make laugh on me
Interview a surviving rat 😂
Just because something tastes good doesn't mean it is good....
It's better and healthier than the stuff you get from KFC or pizza hut which are often made from caged chicken fed antibiotics, grains laced with chemicals, etc.
zerpents you seem to be skipping over the fact that every species alive has a Species Specific Diet.
what is natural about needing a trap, and a long assembly line processing, then needing to cook and add oils/breadcrumb/seasoning - just for a meal?
seems to me we were born with the tools for reaching up, grabbing an apple or banana, and eating fruits. i'd be curious about the average lifespan of everyday rat consumer.
If it's clean meat it's clean meat.
Rats aren't known for being clean but heck maybe these ones are.
@@an0therdimensi0n99 - Herbivores have herbivore teeth for chewing grass and carnivores have teeth for cutting and tearing meat. Humans have omnivore teeth. Teeth designed for both. Humans species specific diet must therefore include meat. We do not have cow teeth.
@@DarrinJackson76 well said
I was invited to dinner in Lima Peru and as I was eating my relative kept telling me this is rat and I thought he was pulling my leg, I ate didn't think much of it until I realized what it was, Guinea Pig, though it tasted good getting it through my throat into my stomach became extremely challenging, the moral of the story it is the eye and the Brain what eats, I'm sure; to us in the West eating rats is disgusting and impossible but then we did not grow grow up eating it .
This is how resident evil started … it’s better to farm the rats than to catch wild ones for multiple reasons ..
Stands equivalent to the free range raised chicken 😁
Damn bro, Andrew the rat you ate didn't even look like a rat. looks like a piece of fried chicken. Love this video. keep it coming. You are under rated bro. More people needs to subscribes your channel. I've seen many videos of food channels here and your style has become my second favorite aside from Sonny.
i started out with a "fuck no im not going to eat that" and im quite adventurous eater, like, brains and eyeballs and guts and whatnot, fish liver etc etc etc .... and i ended up thinking i gotta try this! im googling tickets for summer to vietnam.
Người Việt Nam rất thân thiện luôn đón chào các bạn quốc tế đến với đất nước chúng tôi thưởng thức những món ăn ngon nổi tiếng.
Remember that episode of "SImpsons" where the elementary school was milking rats and using it to feed the students?
Just like the time macdonalds got caught selling human meat
what you did was wild man very nice job and am 50 first time i hear such thing in vietnam thanks for the tip great work
Organic as it can get. From Farm fields to the table! I bet it does not cost much for a plate of it. Western nations need to start learning how to substitute the usual meats like chicken, beef, pork, lamb.
I agree. Oz has some of the cleanest countryside in which to farm animals! (WHY our beef & poultry is so good & salmonella free!) Rats are already HERE, why not FARM the things? They'd be healthy game meat!
And they'd be easier than shooting 'roos all the time as you CAN'T farm marsupials!
Help yourself
Maybe 60% organic those rice fields are sprayed with pesticides organic is natural or wild if I eat cape Buffalo kudu from the wild
Một kilo thịt chuột tương đương với một kilo thịt bò nếu đó là mùa mưa bão, nếu thời tiết nắng nóng thịt 3 kilo thịt bò đổi lấy 1kilo thịt chuột thì cũng không có mà đổi 😂.
@@thaoau9271 Điều đó thật tuyệt! Vì thế nó có giá trị!
In the region of Flanders in Belgium, muskrat was a local delicacy. We aren't allowed to hunt them anymore. They used to catch them on the banks of small streams. It's called "water rabbit", although it's neither a rat nor a rabbit.
Actual rabbit meat is much more commonly eaten here, I personally like it stewed with beer and prunes.
So "alternative" meat sources aren't that exotic. We have them in "the west" as well.
Why, are they going extinct?
@thekraken1173 they are an invasive species, not native to Europe. In Belgium they are actively hunted by the government. EU law prohibits the use of the animal in any way. This includes hunting and preparing them as food.
Why did that bell at 0:01 sound like the intro to a Eminem song 😂
I was thinking metalica or Pantera but I can hear eminem in there too😂
GET IN WHERE YOU FIT IN, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! 🇺🇲❤️👍🏻
Definitely got me on the fence for my next order of sweet n sour chicken 😂😂😂
in Philippines, it's also delicacy
in the provinces area with rice paddies and sugar cane plantation were commonly see these rodents.
Dogs too
Squirrel tastes like a nutty, buttery chicken... It's good and you should try it
Squirrels are so cute. How could you eat them? 🥲
@@FailedFlea93 they are indeed very cute and fun to watch (but not when they play in traffic)... And to answer your question, "One small bite at a time.... Because they have small bones." ❤️ ... It's almost like a Redneck rite of passage.
These guys would clean up big cities fast.
That rat meat is likely healthier than 80% of meat in US grocery stores - no hormones, fed on natural, pesticide free food, etc. If I visited there I would try it if I knew it was processed in the town featured here.
Totally agree
Bạn nói rất đúng 👍 Món thịt chuột là một món ăn của thiên nhiên ban tặng nó cũng như con sóc,con thỏ ở trong rừng đó thôi. Nhiều người ở Việt Nam không ăn họ cũng e ngại nhưng với tôi nó là một đặc sản. Mua phải theo mùa chứ không phải muốn ăn là có.
See the pesticides being sprayed onto the not so ''natural, pesticide free'' rice fields at 1:08 to 1,11.
It is ok with me that they eat them - it makes good sense. But please don't falsely glamorize the purity of the rice.
you american guy new york?watch hollywood movie rats 2002 i seen maybe 3000 hollywood movies
In the majority of countries in the world, their people are afraid of rats, but the people who live around the Mekong River (Southeast Asia) have a place for rats in their food menu.
My whole body trembled.
please
Leave the recipe
100% organic! Sprout/Amazon should import them.
I'd rather have them than Chicken McNuggets.
Lol😂😂😂
I'll never eat "RAT" meat 0:43...
After millions of people died in pandemic and it's not even been 3 years. People still actually gonna watch these people do this again.
Rice field Rats must be Organic, not sure if I will try one
Great video👍
There's a bunch in New York we can donate
We all probably ate it in our Chinese food with sweet and sour sauce
Oh my god
I just stopped eating at my favorite Chinese restaurant because the texture of the meat started to change… I swear it was rat or cat…🥴
