I'm pretty sure that I ate rat embryos once in a very authentic Chinese restaurant in Chinatown in New York City. They were mammal embryos of some kind, brought around on a little cart with many other things. I didn't know what they were, and the waiter didn't speak any English. Then later I guy I know who works for Phillips Petroleum told me about eating at a banquet in the Forbidden City in Peking. There were 24 courses, one of which were rat embryos. I realized that it was probably what I'd eaten.
And I saw rats on a stick in the Yochib, Chiapas market one time. I should have tried them. They were well charred.
