You haven't been poor until you have eaten a fried Spam sandwich.

Shore lunch when you don't catch fish.

That was Vienna sausages lol . Look at a crawfish... you think the first people in Louisiana said, “yum!!!”... they said, hmmmm, maybe that ugly thing is edible, cause we caught no fish or crabs today

There was a time, when in college, I thought Spam was a delicacy.

 

[ScottP]

.... or a syrup sandwich

Hey I still eat toast with honey on it. Then again I love honey straight off the comb any day.

You have excellent taste, Scott.

I know people in LA that eat nutria rat. Maybe they misheard "nutria" as "nutri" and thought it was nutritious. I am so glad that "delicacy" hasn't caught on. Although I do have a friend that kept one as a pet when he was young. They treated it like a dog. He had pictures of it curled up on the end of his bed.

Awww. How cute.

Usually out here on the other coast, unlike LA, in NY if you see a rat curled up on the end of your bed (nutria or not) you reach for a handy piece of rebar.

my Dad caught a baby (young adult) opossum and put it in an aquarium in my bedroom. I was 16 and didn’t know he had done that. Well I come home late and go straight to bed to waking up at 6 am with a hissing mad possum on my bed.

Sorry that LA was the state Louisianna not the city. Oh and a nutria rat is not a normal "rat" but more like a beaver. They can get up to 24in long and average 15lbs in weight with a max weight of 37lbs. If you wake up in the middle of the night with one of these on your bed, I doubt you are going to just shoo it away. You will probably be going for a gun and a clean pair of underwear.

 

[leftyandsparky]

What does it taste like?

 

[rosesense]

Yuck!!!

 

[leftyandsparky]

I really want to know.......

 

[leftyandsparky]

Hey @NolaMel do you know what nutria taste like?

 

[ScottP]

What does it taste like?

I don't know for sure, but probably tastes like chicken.

Here in GA we have tree rats. They raid our bird feeders constantly.

Maybe out in the swamps they might, but I have yet to see it on any menu. Ever. Yuck!

 

[NolaMel]

Hey @NolaMel do you know what nutria taste like?

No idea, and I can guarantee you that I will never be able to answer that question. They’re treated mostly like giant rats here. A nuisance, not a food source. Unless maybe it’s like alligator and they just pawn it off on tourists (I’m kidding, no angry emails please).

Yes it's bayou dwellers. Not in any restaurant...yet.

 

[NolaMel]

Honestly, would you eat that? They’re our version of an armadillo.... just destructive,hole digging irritations
