RECIPE - Chinese Sweet and Sour Rat

Recipe calls for two or three large, restaurant quality rats. Many smaller rats or mice can be substitute. Amount should equal 1-1.5kg (2-3 pounds).

1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh when possible. Do not drain.

¼ cup sesame oil (can use Hot Sesame oil for zest)

1 yellow or orange bell pepper sliced thin (can use green, but red is too Chinese, may play to dinner guests as too ironic)

1 teaspoon salt

Put aside 1½ tablespoon cornstarch for breading

1 cup pineapple juice fresh squeezed. If not fresh add sugar to taste.

¼ cup vinegar plus ½ cup water will make juicy for breading

This is soon to be your test treat!

Heat large, flat pan to brown rat over modest heat. Season with salt and pepper as liked. Add pineapple juice and vinegar. Cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes longer. Mix cornstarch and sugar and stir slowly and thoroughly into brackish brine. Once sauce thickens to happiness, rat is ready for your mouth insertion.
