I do recollect, when I was studing in Salcette, in the late 60s, we were told that the men folk of the 'gauddi' community ate the king rats. More light on this could be expected from our netters from Sasthi and specially residing in Verna, Raia and in Fatorda- Arlem. Those good days we hunted for squirrels, bats, cuckoo birds, sparrows, seagulls (Bokem), Cong'ge in the fields etc. and we really relished these few wild dishes. ( Those days there was no restrictions)

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joegoauk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wrote about eating rats in Goa. No big deal. I have seen Thai constuction workers in Singapore laying traps for King rats, which they prize. The Filipinos eat incubated Duck eggs called balut, as well as swallow newly born mice. Koreans and Chinese eat dogs, snakes, money brains with brandy and a host of other delicacies which we would find nauseating. Buono Apetito!
