Oh, RATS!!!

Ewwwwwwwwww!

How does he expect homeless people to fit in to such a small box?

I’ll have the veggie sandwich please.

Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll keep walking.

Why does everyone (except weasel_monkey, LOL) assume it’s rat? It could be something healthy and delicious like…. um…. alley cat or lost poodle. OK never mind.

Box lunch.

If your hungry it all tastes good.

where are the health inspectors? were they bribed off or part of budget cuts? Or, by some politicians that the restaurant industry can better regulate/police itself.

If I wanna eat something that tastes like chicken I’ll just eat chicken…

Could be pigeon!!!

If you go to the orient, you will actually see the carcass before you get to eat it.

Call it “squab” and you can charge premium prices for it.

Smother it in cream sauce, call it Ronguer ala Francaise, and watch them line up for it.

I know that place…never make the waitress mad before you get your meal…

Something Fawlty about that comment

I have 4 more servings before I buy another breast of a free-range turkey- I’ll eat one today for dinner with a tomato, watercress and cantalope-no food from questionable restaurants, thanks.

I’m guessin some of yous guys never been ta Brooklyn.

And you believe Sylvester Stallone???

Can’t get much fresher than that!

“I’ll have the Catch of the Day…”

Soylent green, it’s people!

Street Pizza.

Farley Mowat, proprietor.

Gotta love the little chef peaking around the door…

Compare rat habitat to a modern feed lot, pig or cow. Maybe it’s the thought of eating something that occasionally eats us? “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park” is a waste if you don’t eat them. Snails and lobster are delicacies, but we squirm at the thought of eating their “cousins”. If you eat it, and it keeps you alive— well that’s just the history of survival. Hmmm, what would happen to Barney if Fred Flinstone lived in New Guinea?

Wiley should have named the place “Tué Sur la Route Cafe”.

Don’t even ask what’s in the “special” sauce.

Gack.

I have refused to eat in oriental restaurants ever since I saw an internet thing that went around, showing how to skin a rat, cut it into chunks, and voila! Chicken chop suey.

I thought maybe frog. Frog legs are a delicacy, I’ve heard.

yup. and if you go shopping on the street, you even get to watch them butcher that doggy in the window for you. ever notice the scarcity of dogs, cats and pigeons overseas?

didn’t know there were any, while in the Philipines during Vietnam saw a few dogs in town, but never a cat.

…“Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, and Spam, with a little rat in it”…

^Mmmmm, fresh monkey!

This reminds me of the school cafeteria – except their mystery meat wasn’t nearly as fresh.
