nutria rat

I have the most random mind sometimes. I was out at Lake Martin last weekend and I saw a nutria rat and commented to my wife, "I may not be fast, but I could outrun him."

The U.S. House of Representatives has just approved $12 million annually to help get rid of nutria rats in an effort to help fight coastal erosion.

The real headline should read the grossest thing that people in Louisiana regularly eat. Remember we eat a lot of things other people would call an exterminator to remove.

There's a new food craze in Moscow, and it's from a rodent that Louisianians are familiar with!

Many different types of interesting foods were available at the all-you-can-eat event like duck tamales, deer tamales and even moose chili. It's one item in particular that caught my attention however, and that item is the "Nutria Tacos".

When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. When life hands you nutria, you make fur coats and auction them to benefit our wetlands. Seriously, you do!
