Believe it or not I had snake (snake not steak)and kidney pie back in the
early 40's......served up by a Royal Navy chef in Columbo, Ceylon....very
tasty indeed. Suspect that was due to the chef's skill and not the
combo served. It tasted much better than rat meat....don't laaugh at
that, rat meat is better than starving.....H



I can just imagine the banter around the table waiting for the chef to
present his masterpieces.
Main course "Snake bake" or "Rodent in the hole"
for desert "Chocolate mouse" or "mice cream"
or do I smell a rat?

As to rats....a couple of my old buddies were p o w's in WW2 and bred rats
for extra protein to keep 'em alive......H
