Whenever there's a disaster the first species to take advantage of it is the brown rat (Rattus rattus). Humans don't fare so well, tending to go hungry for want of hygenically prepared food.
Rats are actually quite tasty and nutritious, though difficult to prepare. They are even regarded as a delicacy
in parts of that greatest of innovators in cuisine; China.
The Rat Toaster is a solar-powered (The power is usually cut, after a disiaster) device that skins and eviscerates the rodent, before spreading it flat and grilling it at high temperature, to kill any nasty bacteria.
It comes with its own bait, and a range of tasty sauces.
You know you want it...
Maybe not

I'm told that the queen was offered roast rat at a banquet on her first trip to Belize. |
|
| |
there was a mouse killing device here yesterday. do people eat mice? |
|
| |
I guess so. They're not really big enough to bother with... when there are rats about. |
|
| |
//You know you want it...// |
|
| |
what ever gave you that idea? |
|
| |
Just so long as the diseases that rats carry
are limited to the bacterial and you can kill
them without destroying the meat. Hmmm
doubt creeps in. Ah [+] anyway, so long as
the device can pit the toasted rat on a
stick. |
|

Salt and Pepper rat, with Chinese Five Spice. Why? |
|
| |
Just curious as to why you think that I would want this. I'd prefer rat Tom Yum Kung, if any going. |
|
| |
Just when I thought you had gone and got yourself a life... |
|
| |
Indeed. Hi again, [UB]... |
|
| |
I had one, but the voices kept interfering with it, so I came here to offload the mental pictures they have been giving me. |
|
| |
[UB], apparently some folks have never heard the "you know you want it" line from TV commercials. NIce to have you and your voices back. (And I will try to stop being an unofficial UnaBubba translator) |
|
| |
Perhaps George Foreman will release one, in time for Christmas? |
|
| |
You need a sexy euphamism for a rat, to make it sound more delectable, but otherwise [+] and welcome back. |
|
| |
"Chicken Mekong" (see link). |
|
| |
what about pigeon? rats are hard to catch - but pigeons just require a net and a little bread. |

Fishbone, the jews are. And also the fishbone for telling me I want to eat rat. |
|
| |
I didn't tell you that you wanted to eat rat. I told you that you wanted a rat toaster. |
|
| |
OK, have your rat toaster, but allow me to smack you upside the head with this fish carcass first, not entirely just for this idea, but as a friendly welcome back too. Wouldn't want you to get too wrapped up in the warm fuzzies of reconciliation. |
|
| |
Hate to be so practical, but I think you'll need a big solar array to power that toaster, by the way. |
|
| |
[Unabubba], OK so I jumped to conclusions. But I still don't want to eat rat or a rat toaster i'm afraid. |
|
| |
I concur [Germanicus]. I wouldn't want to eat a rat toaster either. |
|
| |
// // greatest of innovators in cuisine; China.//
Fishbone, the jews are // [Germainicus] How can that be, when they proscribe so many delicious foods? |
|
| |
I guess they have to be creative when they have so little to work with...But to UB's point, I don't think there is anything that *isn't* regarded as a delicacy somewhere in China. |
|
| |
That's true, [DC]. I was quite surprised to be served a dish of Ducks' Tongues in Hoisin Sauce, one night at my favourite Chinese restaurant. |
