McRat

On the way between Korat and Bangkok, vendors along the side of the road are selling "Nu Yang" or grilled field rat and a strange root/ nut thing called "gra-jab". It's shaped just like the black drawing in the picture. I think they're hanging in the plastic bags beneath the umbrella. Then again, those could be the rats.


In my Peace Corps days, I may have stopped for a nibble. I've tried grilled rat before, and it's actually pretty tasty - as long as you don't mind the pointy little feet and toes hanging off the end of your rat "drumstick".
