You might get some extra work done on your car if you take over a dozen Roof Rats and this recipe...


Bumper sicker seen on roof rat gourmet vehicles :
Roof Rats taste as good as they smell!

ROOF RAT PIE
Take 4 potatoes, boil, mash, season, add cream, line 8" pie shell with them.

Boil six medium sized Roof Rats.
If the rodents are the right size, you should have 2 cups of rat meat (depending if you've cleaned the carcasses well enough.) Season with salt, pepper, cayenne, add l cup blanched, chopped almonds, l cup cracker crumbs, l egg, (reserve l tsp for topping) making a burger. OPTIONAL: bell pepper, onions, cilantro, parsley, thyme, oregano, l can creamed corn.
Fill the pie. Cover with more potatoes. Use egg/cream to wipe down pie so it toasts brownish in oven.

Remember, a rabbit is just a big rodent. The taste of the flesh is identical. Ask any concentration camp visitor.

TIP: when cooking Roof Rats, pre-soaking up to 5 hours helps take away that pesky rodent flavor. AND the longer you cook it, with the other ingredients, the better.
