Yea, quail are like that...pretty much breast only.

I've heard rat is a bit greasy, but maybe it depends on what they eat.

From what I can remember they tasted a bit like rabbit.
Given this lot eat pretty much what the chickens eat; much to my annoyance, I expect they'll taste a bit like chicken. They're country rats, it's not like they live in city sewers. The few I've killed looked disgustingly healthy.

Morning Cafe!

Thanks for the coffee Shad. Hope you can find a shady spot or two today. It's actually going to be cooler here...not even into the 80's.



That 2nd sign (Wake the hell up) I have in my kitchen...picked it up while on vacation in AZ.

I love it! It’s a great sign haha

I pick the gun up on Sunday.
I've got a couple of rat recipes. I think I'll try one out.

Marinate with Rosemary

Wastefully.
I can't be arsed with the full skinning, gutting etc so it will be haunches.
I've eaten rat before in India.
I'll fry them quickly and then use them in a stew; that's assuming I hit any.

DH has bad luck killing rats with an air bb gun. His instincts are to go for a head shot, but I think their skulls are too thick.

I'm not clear on what an air bb gun is.
What I've borrowed is a air rifle, spring action so it's quiet. The pellet you use makes a lot of difference. Mind you, it's made in Spain and given what I've said about stuff made in Spain before................

Honestly, I have no idea. It looks like a rifle & it shoots high powered BB's.

BBs are tiny little metal balls shot often with air rifle. Pellets will quite frequently have a pointed tip to aid penetration. Pellets work better than BBs imho.

Yes, I'm like 12yrs old.

I've got to be frank about this but it's not something you should need to think about.
