Thats what I was thinking too. I have tried many things I thought I never would but I just can't seem to get past this one.
This little fella is a nutria. He is found in abundance in Louisiana swamps and bayous. He is an herbivore and supposedly really good eating from what I hear. I have actually seen this being offered at food stands at some festivals down here. I have yet had the guts to try this little guy. There is something that just doesn't sit right with me about eating a swamp rat.....plus the yellow/orange teeth just put me off.

His response, "Oh, no, Thumper!"
He hasn't had rabbit since then. That was over 25 years ago. Oh, well!
...plus the yellow/orange teeth just put me off.
Jim...
I've passed on the Nutria a couple of times myself. However I have had beaver twice. It was not bad, but I want be setting traps anytime soon. I wonder if the Nutria would be about the samer as the beaver. Tell ya what...Go ahead and chow down on some Nutria and report back here....OK?
Have Fun!
Question is, is it more mental than physical? I think so. I can make you a delicious soup that you would love ---------- if, you didn't know what was in it.

I applaud you, Hoot. I wish I could be like you about food. It would have saved me many long hours at the dinner table as a kid in front of a plate of congealing liver and onions! Seriously, there are a lot of things I just cannot eat. Stuff that isn't even "bad". I don't understand it but I know I would be violently ill if I tried to force myself to eat something that my brain is saying "no, no, no" to. And I'm not a wimp at all. I'm a mom now many times over and I worry about what they are and are not eating so I guess it's payback but I still can't eat liver and onions!
BTW Welcome to DC!
I simply can't stand Peanut Butter.
To me, it is disgusting... I am getting sick just thinking of.
Enough already
I think there are some things that taste differently on different people's tongues, due to some genetic wiring.
In my case, cilantro tastes exactly like plastic to me. And mango tastes JUST like turpentine in my mouth. Everyone I know enjoys both things, but I have to spit them out.
