Know what this is??
Nutria! Ever since watching Andrew Zimmern eat it on Bizarre Foods, i've wanted to try it. I had heard that they were here in Moldova, but in the 2 years i've been here, i had never seen one...until this past weekend when i came back to site from vacation and Mama-G had cooked one up! I was so excited! I told her how i'd been curious to eat it for a long time. She was a little surprised, but pleased. And i'm happy to say that it was very tasty...i even liked it better than rabbit!
The above photo is a baby one, being raised to be eaten. It's soooooo cute, but really pretty tasty too... sorry lil guy...
