Manaboutown, if I ever decide to eat Rat it would likely be this delicacy you speak of in this post. Rat from a wine cellar, Yum you say! The closest delicacy to cooked rat is cooked rattlesnake that my uncle brought to a party one year at a family gathering. He never told anyone what it was until much much later. I remember---it wasn't really that bad. Yum....
