18 Delicious Rodents


Would you eat your hamster? Rodents, one of several kinds of vertebrates included in the human diet, are very suitable as human food. More than 71 genera and 89 species of rodents, mostly hystricomorphs, have been consumed by man. Some have even been domesticated for private or commercial production of food for human consumption.

Rodents in the temperate world serve only as a supplement to the regular diet of humans; but in the tropical world, they are widely accepted and a popular source of protein.

A restaurant in Redondo Beach is having an "exotic game night" in June. The menu includes Beaver Burgers.
