About paring wines and how to serve Nutritious Nutria to Texicans:
An expert from a distant not to be named place: wrote:I am an expert on pairing wines with big Rat... AKA Nutria~
I suggest about rapidly consuming 1/2 bottle of some over proofed wine BEFORE dinner accompanied by the rest of the bottle during dinner and another immediately after dinner. Vodka also works. Actually, the people on Survivor 3 had no problems with rat meat.
Originally posted by GordonW from a distant place and time wrote:When I was a kid, we used to trap muskrats for their skins, for sale. The local farmers appreciated it, getting the muskrats out of their irrigations systems, where they could do some significant damage. My father, for whatever reason, liked to eat muskrat, in a hasenpfeffer preparation. Us kids took it that the price of earning a few bucks on a muskrat skin meant eating the rest of it. Environmentally sound, nasty food. More relevant, nutria are being found on the coastal areas of the Carolinas. The locals say the best place to find nutria is smashed on the road.
A solution to Nutria in Cajun country wrote:There is an alligator farm at St. Augustine, Fla that is really a good tourist trap. Worth stopping at. We arrived there just in time for feeding. Nutria are raised for their fur and the dead skinned ones for feeding alligators. The long ratlike tail makes a perfect handle for flinging the bodies into the gaping jaws of the gators.
