    Great video & story! Will definitely visit Looe ~ love all those winding lanes and those pretty cottages. Years ago, I used to keep two cute pet rats. They were always going AWOL, so we called them : 'Thelma & Louise'.

    Hmm, I thought the RATatouille we had for dinner at The Ship in Looe when we were there tasted a bit gamey!! (Only joking! The Ship is actually a fine pub/restaurant 😋)
    Very interesting and entertaining video, thanks for posting it. Looe Island looked lovely when we were there and it looks like you took the same road out of the town that we did when we went exploring.
    P. S. Happy St. Piran's Day! Hope you had a great day. 🙂

    Lived in West Africa and went to a restaurant where they served me what they called "rat". It was a rodent 4x the size of a rat as we would know it. It wasn't tough and the main flavor was the sauce it was in. I just remember liking it and I didn't think it strange to eat rat since it was so much larger than our variety.

    Nice surprise to see this video 🥰 How interesting. I have never eaten rat, but have eaten some pieces of Guinea pig in Peru. It tasted a bit like gamey chicken. I had alpaca too, and it was delicious. In Austraila I have eaten steak of kenguru, emu sausage, steak of camel, and crocodile rissole. In Egypt I have had water buffalo. All tasted good, but the crocodile rissole didn't taste a lot. Just a hint of fishy chicken 😄

    You never cease to amaze with your local stories Sarah, I guess if your starving Rat Stew would be a highly prized delicacy, we have problems with water rats occasionally but no one has suggested a barbecue 🍗 yet! I think there was a shot in ‘Poldark’ when prisoners were eating a rat for Christmas dinner 🥴 or was that in ‘Outlander’ 🤔 thanks again both of you for another entertaining video 👍
