LILONGWE, Malawi – Cooked, salted or dried, field mice strung on sticks are sold as a popular delicacy in Malawi markets and roadside stalls.
The mice are hunted in corn fields after the harvest when they have grown plump on a diet of grains, fruits, grass and the odd insect. The most widely eaten species is known locally as Kapuku, gray in color and with a shorter tail than the more common rat.
Young boys have to be quick as they chase the mice through the fields and catch them. But local villagers have also come up with an innovative trap.
One method involves digging holes and putting clay pots filled with water into them. The mouth of the pot is smeared with fried corn husks. As some of the mice fight for the husks, they fall into the pot and drown.
Malawi, with a population of 12 million, is among the poorest countries in the world, with rampant disease and hunger, aggravated by periodic droughts and crop failure.[/quote]

Is this news? Mice are probably eaten in a lot of third-world countries.

boohoo, it's still not news
lots of people eat mice. stop making fun of the poor
Hell I've eaten a mouse, and a squirel.
Outwards bounds coarse, 10 of us lived in the forrests of germany for 14 days with nothing but a packet of matches, a satelite phone and a knife each.
You've eaten a mouse, eh? What's it taste like?
Not really a surprise. Mice and such are eaten a lot in different places.
Quite tough, not alot of meat, but it was probably only tough because I cooked it over a fire in some moss.
We almost killed a deer but that trap didn't spring :( We were living off of various plants and herbs most of the time.
not news stupid op.
