We all know starving artists will eat just about anything, but did you know that for some that includes rodent?

Artist Laura Ginn displayed her latest piece of art in Manhattan's Lower East Side Wednesday: a feast featuring one of New York City's most abundant creatures--the rat.

According to the New York Observer, the five course meal Chef Yuri Hart cooked up was nothing like Roadkill Stew. It included a goat cheese crostini with a small piece of rat meat and a shot glass of gazpacho, two circles of rat and pork terrine over a deconstructed salad. Also featured was "Rat Two Ways"--braised rat and a roasted half rat over a sweet corn salad -- a rat-free lemon sorbet garnished with an edible flower, and finally, French toast topped with a slice of crispy rat jerky (head, claws, and all).

The piece, entitled “Tomorrow We Will Feast Again on What We Catch,” explores the idea of self-sustainability and the multitude of processes which we go through to get our food.  It also required guests to pony up $100 and sign a liability waiver just in case the rat did not sit too well with anyone.

But there was no need to worry about the rats' cleanliness. They come from a lab facility in California. Ginn told the New York Observer that the rats arrived in bulk, whole, unskinned and frozen:

"You should have seen my freezer," Ginn said. "I gave over my entire house for this."


For the occasion, Ginn wore a self-made, one-shoulder cocktail dress made of 200 rat pelts to the event.

“I’m going to be on the cover of Vogue: the post-apocalypse issue,” she told the New York Observer.

Now, why am I not surprised.

If you give it a fancy garnish, and charge $100 a plate you can get these snobbish A Holes to eat a dog turd.

The Obama Future was documented in The Road Warrior....with .gov playing the role of "The Humungus".

"There has been too much violence. Too much pain. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away.
Give me your pump, the oil, the gasoline, and the whole compound, and I'll spare your lives. Just walk away and we'll give you a safe passageway in the wastelands.
Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror."

What do they think a Rabbit is ?

Actually this ties in with something I've been saying about TEOTWAWKI survival.
Those who live any where near a town and think they will be living on venison, moose, bison and elk, (depending on area) are in for a rude awakening.
It's a lot more likely if they eat at all it will be dog, cat, squirrel and rat.
The things that are plentiful with in the urban environment.

Protein is protein!  I'd eat a rat if nothing else is available to survive.

Paying for it is ridiculous!

Actually, rabbits aren't rodents. They're lagomorphs.

Dude!  You're channeling my 9th grade Biology teacher!

 

But you're right....something to do with teeth....
