Re: Pavel Possum - newest pest
Would I kid about rodential delicacies? Do a search on Mountain Vizcacha pics to confirm. And note, the plains Vizcacha looks very different from the mountain variety. I remember their range is the mountains and plains going north from Chile to Ecuador. Both are slaughtered and sold for food. And, no, it doesn't tast like chicken! You go and try living in the mountains and see what starts lookin' good for supper.
Right, mskitty?
Dad was in the merchant marine and used to stop in Ecuador on his way to Valpariso, Chile and back. I teased him the other day cause he may have gotten mountain rat for dinner one night instead of pot roast. He made such a face I was doubled over in stiches. We both had a good laugh. Does anyone remember the movie Mondo Cane? Amazing what folks will eat when they have to.
