My grandmother, living out in the backwoods, once asked us kids if we knew what we were eating.
We said, "Chicken?"
She laughed and said, "No — it's squirrel."
They have a fish in Korea called 쥐포 (jwipo), often nicknamed "sea rat."
A friend once offered me something on a stick from a local Korean street vendor.
I tried it and asked, "this is good, what is it?”
He said, "Rat."

I stopped eating and said, “Rat?!”
He laughed and said, “No, no — in Korea we call it 'sea rat'.”
While, living working in Thailand
they serve something called หนูนา (nǔu naa) — meaning "field rat."
It's made from actual rats... not bad, actually — spicy, like most Thai food!
Common in "Maha Sarakham" (มหาสารคาม),"
