"You're not going to starve, you're going to eat rats"
Beggars belief

I've got some photos of people selling rats at the side of the street in Sanya, Southern China in 1984.
They hold many rats by the tails in each hand. Popular on Sundays.
I'll try to upload them one day but I have just moved house and can't find a bloomin' thing.

I remember seeing STAR meat in a turoturo in cebu down near the harbour 30'ish years ago? It was a really grimy rundown eatery, I asked rather naively what star meat was, I was told to read it backwards
I have also seen a number of rattus rattus skins in a gutter in cebu, only one reason to skin a rat in that part of town, yup, star on the menu somewhere or other

Starburgers for dinner in the PI.

I'm a wimp - I could not open this video

Did you ever visit the PI when dogs heads etc were on open display at butcher stalls etc?

No.
I had heard about them but, being a dog lover, I couldn't have looked even if they were on display.

Awful thought

I ate dog in the Philippines, wasn't bad to be honest.
