If I got desperate enough, which in this case they seem to be, I would be willing to. It's not entirely unheard of either. As far as I know they breed them in France to be eaten. People in Brazil eat fried guinea pigs. So long as the rats aren't diseased and well cooked there shouldn't be any adverse effects to eating them. Probably taste like chicken to lol
