Cuban Communists: Add Rodent Meat ‘to the Family Dinner Table’

Frances Martel 24 Dec 2020

A government television broadcast in Cuba this week urged citizens to eat guinea pig and other rodents, suggesting rodent meat is more nutritious and “sustainable” than pork or beef, Cuban outlets reported on Wednesday.

The Communist Party has presided over major food shortages in Cuba for decades, beginning almost immediately following the Cuban Revolution in 1959. In recent years, the Castro regime has blamed President Donald Trump for extensive food shortages and failed distribution of government-mandated rations. While the Trump administration has imposed significant sanctions on the regime in response to the increased frequency of human rights violations against pro-democracy dissidents in the Obama era, these sanctions have targeted elite individuals and military-linked corporations, not sources of food for the general population.

The Cuban Communist Party has systematically silenced dissidents who have exposed how Havana is directly responsible for food shortages in the country, most prominently ecologist Dr. Ariel Ruiz Urquiola, arrested after using a plot of land in Pinar del Río to prove that a competent government could significantly increase crop production. Ruiz Urquiola now says communist officials infected him with HIV on purpose while in prison.

Rat on a stick.

Welcome to Agenda 21/Vision 2020 

In the end, the rodents eat us.

I have ate several forms of rodent and weasel... If you really want recipes...
I would recommend starting with a skwerl...

[The_Reader_David]

Well, there are Cajun recipes for nutria.

I've had beaver. Does that count?

[GtHawk]

Really, no one else?

I hope you weren't as hard on it as Ward was.

Since going kosher, I miss pulled pork, pork loin roast, beaver, coon, and squirrel. I really don't know how to stay out in the brush without beaver, coon, and squirrel... Probably the easiest and most plentiful meat sources out there.

You'd have had to ask Jeff Daumer...too late, now.

I reckon bear would be off the menu, too.

Reckon you could eat most anything, if the spices were right...

Yep. Nothing but ungulates, fish w/ scales, and game birds. A guy can catch some fish pretty well, but really, out in the woods, where you get your easy meat is what you can trap. No effort like birds and deer... Just mind your sets for about 10 minutes twice a day, and meat just shows up like magic.

I can't imagine eating raccoon.  What does it taste like?

Every person here better prepare for meals of rat in the future, for under the socialist/climate change crap, how long before there is no beef, courtesy of the GND, and no pork, or chicken, and we will collapse to where Cuba is with 340 million folks fighting over a blade of grass.  And I have heard it reported there are vast sections of the oceans barren of fish, for the waters have been fished out.  How long before eating fish is a very expensive event?

If you haven't seen The Road, you need to see it.  When I saw it, I thought it the most gruesome movie, dark, and not realistic.  Not now.  I can see the Dems taking us there quickly.

Best start adding survivalist books to your list for reading, you will need it!!!!!

Kinda like a cross between dark chicken or duck mixed with a red meat. Kinda stringy, more of a red meat texture than a chicken texture, but if it's been in a dutch oven for hours it gets to be wonderful. Another like that would be coyote. You can eat it on a spit, but it is way better cooked up in a stew for a while.

Book learning is next to nothing. Y'all better go out and DO. Overlanding, camping, hiking... learn to trap and fish. Learn to hunt. learn to build fire and shelter. From scratch. Learn the flora in your neighborhood. Most of what y'all call weeds and been spraying out of your yards is what is good food and medicine. Don't hurt to know but better to do, and the learning of it can't hurt a thing.

And when your neighbors are killing eachother over bread crusts, you'll be up in the sticks living high on the hog...

The countries where rats are on the menu

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20151207-the-countries-where-rats-are-on-the-menu

On 7 March every year, in a remote village in the hills of north-east India, the Adi tribe celebrates Unying-Aran, an unusual festival with rats as the culinary centrepiece. One of the Adi’s favourite dishes is a stew called bule-bulak oying, made with the rat’s stomach, intestines, liver, testes, foetuses, all boiled together with tails and legs plus some salt, chili and ginger.

Rodents of all kind are welcomed in this community, from the household rats often seen around the house to the wild species that dwell in the forest. The rat's tail and feet are particularly appreciated for their taste, says Victor Benno Meyer-Rochow, at Oulu University, Finland, who interviewed several members of the Adi tribe for a recent study into rats as a food resource.

    Rodent meat is the most delicious and best meat they can imagine

The answers he got revealed a different view of the pesky pests. The respondents told Meyer-Rochow that rodent meat “is the most delicious and best meat they can imagine.

“I was told: ‘No party; no happiness if there is no rat available: to honour an important guest, visitor or relative, to celebrate a special occasion; it can only be done if rats are on the menu.’”


Depending on the number of traps set, on a good day between 30 and 100 rats may be caught by a single rat hunter (Credit: Meyer-Rochow & Megu)

Lots of governments in SE Asia, Vietnam among others, are promoting and pushing people to eat rats for rat population control.

A good ole Texas boy cooked me my first squirrel meal.  He made it very tasty.  A lot of work for what little you get.  Sort of reminds me of eating crawfish.  Lot of work, and little substance.

I love me some skwerl. In a brown flour gravy over roasted taters... But it's worse up in here. Pine skwerls ain't much more than chipmunks. You may as well not even bother unless you can get 6-10 of em, and you better bark em all at that.

Having a lot of of large pecan trees keeps mine well fed and nicely flavored.
