the current new yorker (7/24) magazine has a review ("rat in my soup") of
the highest ranking wild flavor restaurant and the new eight sceneries
wild flavor food city in luogang, china...
the waitress at the highest ranking wild flavor restaurant...
asked again, "do you want a big rat or a small rat?"
"what's the difference?" i said.
"the big rats eat grass stems, and the small ones eat fruit..."
i made my decision. "small rat," i said...
i began with a dish called simmered mountain rat with black beans.
there were plenty of other options on the menu... mountain rat soup,
steamed mountain rat, simmered mountain rat, roasted mountain rat,
rat curry, and spicy and salty mountain rat--but the waitress had
enthusiastically recommended the simmered mountain rat with black beans.
