Rice Rats are delicious...I ate them before.

I was in SE Asia in 2017 right after harvest season. Many rice farmers still harvest them the traditional way by bundle the rice stems together and beat the rice grains out of them...but they can't collect all of those rice grains.

So they fenced off the area, released their farmed rats in there to eat the rice, fatten them up, then killed the rats and eat them.

I draw the line at reptiles and rodents.

you don't know what's you missing.

and speaking of reptiles....fun story.

my company has 100s of miles of pipelines in Louisiana majority of them of them are decades old. Back in the day they just lay those pipelines on bottoms of the swamps. Now, many miles of them are all rotted out. So my company decided to replaced them, a few miles at a time at critical locations by Horizontal Directional Drills 20 feet below the swamps' bottoms.

So I went to Terrebonne Louisiana to do the first replacement project, around 15 miles of pipelines total crossing several water bodies and dry land. Being the projects manager, I didn't have to be there, but I want to, because I want to see how they do HDD in the swamps for the first time and to meet the new local HDD crew that I hired to do the job.

I was in my rubber suit, in thigh deep water talking to the HDD foreman, mid 50s big black dude, 6'6, 270 or so with a thick backwoods coonass accent. he said we're one man short and since you ain't doing shit but watching us work, so you're our safety man, what your safety man do? we're Louisiana swamp, if there's water here, there are snakes and alligators, your six shooter (I always carry my Colt 45 revolver across my chest when I'm in the field) ain't killing no fucking alligators, you'd need a heavy hitter.

He handed me a 12 gauge shotgun, i was just about to grab the shotgun from him, he pushed me aside, rack one up and fire at a 8 foot long python swimming around 15 feet or so from us, and follow up with 2 more shots killing the snake. he grabbed the dead snake threw it on the dry land and said, that's what I'm talking about our safety man, you shoot at any and all snakes and gators that are close to us. Come by our camp tonight to have snake gumbo with us.

I came to their camp that night, he's done had the snake skinned, hang its skin on the rope, 7 gallons snake gumbo pot boiling on the propane burner, snake meat BBQ on the fire pit and an AC window unit on his truck bed hooking to the generator. He said I know you office assholes can't handle the heat and humidity here, so I have that AC for you, and I'm gonna make a pair of snakeskin boots with that fucking snake skin.

Me, him and his crew, a dozen of us sitting around their camp fire eating his delicious snake gumbo, and his watermelon moonshine was even better...Hell, I drank my fair share of watermelon moonshine while doing projects in the deep south before Lainey Wilson made it famous in Yellowstone show.

I don't envy you in the least in regards to that job. You couldn't pay me enough to get in that water.


Pic of a brown bear (grizzly) sow I took from my work truck on the Alaska North Slope during a pipeline maintenance gig. She had two cubs out of view. I called it in on the radio so that Conoco could clear the pad. See a lot more polar bears up there tbh compared to brownies.
