bush rat tastes like jerky...

I recently had the pleasure (although, not so pleasant...) of trying "agouti" aka - bushrat. Which is a large rat-ish animal hunted out in the bush. Some volunteers have raved about the deliciousness of this meat; however, I cannot attest to that. The place where I had it (with fufu), it was very jerky-ish in texture and not-so-scrumptious in flavor. But then again, it doesn't look too pleasant or like anything you'd ever want to get near enough to have to kill it, let alone eat it.

But, I will give it another chance...
