Reports coming out of California often catch my eye. You may have heard about the $1,000 fine to servers who offer diners a straw. Now we have a suggestion for the menu for that strawless consumer. The name of the dish sounds healthy, nutria. In reality they are big rodents, read rats, that were imported into the country to be raised for their fur. Since fur is out they may now be harvested for the meat under the fur.
This could be a win for many people. The hunters would be encouraged because the nutria will destroy the wetlands of the environmentalists. People who protest the grain fed to cattle to produce prime rib would save even more grain by dining on nutria fillets.
So next time you visit the People’s Republik you may need to add nutria to the cuisine you are going to sample. Along with the nuts, flakes, fruits and sushi you can have a nutria taco.

I've heard it tastes like muskrat.
ReplyDeleteWhen I Googled them I notice a striking family resemblance. They also look like beaver. Having not eaten any of them I cannot tell. When I Googled nutria one of the titles that popped up was "Nutria in
DeleteTexas".
