and it's a southern delicasy, especially in the Carolinas. Rabbit is also a
rodent and many big dollar restaurants serve it. Racoon is a rodent, eaten
throughout the US and Canada. Woodchuck, groundhod, prairie dog, etc are all
knawing animals, or rodents, and are very good and helps to keep the
woodland poluations in check. Rats and mice are easten in some places for
either lack of knowledge of lack of other foods and they pay the price in
getting wonderful deadly diseases that eventually are worse than starving.
Guinea pigs are pretty good too, just not very big. USAF survival school
gets you used to lots of odd stuff, the worst (I think) being termites.
Actually neither rabbits nor racoons are rodents...
Raccoons are order carnivora and rabbits are order lagomorpha
