Great idea...you guys bring the 'rats and I'll get my wife to cook. She's amazing...part of her job is reviewing cookbooks. My life is pretty good. :)

We'd stew them with onions and serve with dumplings and german style read cabbage. I will say that some folks got a little nervous when I pulled a package marked "Rat Legs" out of the freezer.
