Preparation
  • So many have learned to make do with DICED FIELD MICE.
  • Take 4 potatoes, boil, mash, season, add cream, mash some more
  • Line an 8" pieshell with them.
  • Boil six medium sized mice. Rats are ok if you know what they've been eating. no Buick upholstery or graveyards.
  • If the rodents are the right size, you should have a cup of rat meat (depending if you've cleaned the carcasses well enough.)
  • Season with salt, pepper, cayenne
  • Add l almonds, cracker crumbs, and egg, (reserve l tsp for topping) making a burger.
  • OPTIONAL: bell pepper, onions, cilantro, parsley, thyme, oregano, l can creamed corn, l can of those crunchy chinese things, water chestnuts, chopped olives, a dash of catsup or tomato sauce.
  • Fill the pie.
  • Cover with more potatoes.
  • Use egg/cream to wipe down pie so it toasts brownish in oven.
  • Bake until it looks done to your liking.
 
Comments

TIP:  When cooking rodents, pre-soaking up to 5 hours helps take away that pesky rodent flavor.   AND the longer you cook it, with the other ingredients, the better the meat tastes.  The taste of the mouse and rat flesh is identical. Enjoy!
