Rat meat is enjoying a resurgence in popularity as Taiwan is celebrating the coming of the year of the rat in style. One restaurant in Chiayi county, is offering rat meat dishes and such is the popularity, the diner goes through around 18 kilogrammes of rat meat a day. Ho-la serves ten rat-themed dishes, including rat soup, black pepper-dipped and deep-fried rat. But the 'Three Cup Rat' is a real favourite with customers and the recipe is a closely guarded secret. Rat meat, also eaten in China, became popular in rural Taiwan 60 years ago among people who could not afford chicken or pork. But the flavour caught on and with the year of the rat fast approaching, a rise in demand for the meat is expected.

I'm pretty sure it's all raised.... who's got time to run around chasing rats anyways.. I mean as long as people don't see it getting chopped up.. I'm sure they won't mind eating it..
