in this village in the West African
country of Togo most people eat when
they grow wild animals are sparse on
this mountainous plateau so even little
animals are big game antelope may not be
appetizing to many people but it’s mild
compared to the delicacy silver news is
preparing to hunt grass for me the meat
of the rack is more delicious rat is
such a popular dish in West Africa it’s
sold in city markets but in the little
village of Kachemak the only way to get
this delicacy is to catch it yourself
and these men are willing to do whatever
in the board hey go gratz keep to
themselves the best place to look for
them isn’t easy to find miles into the
jungle the hunter see it an abandoned
termite tower that’s overgrown with
brush but the hole looks very fresh they
decide on a plan to lay siege to the rat
stronghold guess another four to my left
I’m plugging the exits at the rad so
that he can’t escape once we do that
then we can start digging it’s a lot of
effort for the rodent most of us
wouldn’t want to meet let alone eat but
Silva news and his friends are getting
closer but here is the bed of the rat
here is the fruit he has eaten today now
we have found the door and we are sure
that he is inside more than an hour goes
by before Silva news can hear the rat
stirring they’ve found their dinner it’s
not only a rat it’s a giant African
pouch wrap which can weigh more than six
pounds to some it’s a pest but the Silva
news and his friends it’s a delectable
morsel taboo or not the hunters can
already taste their feast if a tradition
holds that those who hunt get first
claim to their quarry a fortunate custom
when pickings are small the Cook Street
this furry rodent like tenderloin the
rat will be cooked with ground peppers
ginger Spice’s and tomatoes now the meal
is complete they savor every last morsel
except the intestines even the bows
inside the rat bones or vitamins that
keep their joints and bones healthy but
eating rat is about more than nutrition
for Silva news and his friends it’s also
about community the hunting and cooking
are done together which makes eating a
rat together more of a pleasure
