I was always eating out, but I got bored with the animals that restaurants offered," Mr. Zhang says during an interview over a plate of BlackBean Rat. "I wanted to open a restaurant with an affordable exotic animal. Then I was walking home one night and a rat ran across in front of me and gave me this idea."

I wonder if clone rat taste as good as rat the ole' fashion way.

Cloned rat isn't as gamey.

Defintely BBQ and serve it with black eyed peas, turnip greens and corn bread to give it some soul.
