Remember when I went to France in 2018, visiting my buddy Dominique at his bed-and-breakfast in le marais (the swamp/marshes), and learning from his son Tim about how there's a pest there called le ragondin, which Tim described in enough detail for me to realize he was talking about nutria, the same giant rat that lives in the Louisiana bayou? Well, here's a video about the nutria of the bayou, and how people hunt them to protect the ecology:
I'll always remember the pâté de ragondin I had in France. I was apprehensive at first, but who knew a rat could turn out to be so delicious? (It ended up tasting bland and like not much of anything. Still, not bad.)
