They really don't taste like chicken. I would describe taste more like lean pork. :-) Allan ----- Original Message ----- From: mark.al...@l-3com.com To: Minton, Mark <mailto:mmin...@nmhu.edu> ; Texas Cavers <mailto:Texascavers@texascavers.com> Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2007 9:01 AM Subject: RE: [Texascavers] RE: [How to cook bats] Tastes like chicken!

I suspect the bats they're eating are the large fruit bats and flying foxes, not the little guys we're used to. And people do eat rats. I don't know about in Asia, although I suspect they do, but definitely in southern Mexico. In Chiapas cavers have seen rat on a stick, cooked and ready to go like a kabob, in the markets. Mmm!
