[Deja Q]

:hide:

[matcom]

1. put it in a cardboard tube and "smoke" it out

:rofl:

[Robb]

2. You're just trying to explain away the Crisco all over it. nt

[conscious evolution]

3. With a corn flake coating

[DarkTirade]

4. That's just weird, you don't cook gerbils.

You cook guinea pigs. More meat there.

[Bucky]

5. Apparently unfamiliar with Gerbil sushi concept

Richard Gere reportedly eats them in reverse. How cool is that!

6. sauteed.....with fresh mushrooms in butter, with a white wine

7. As a "canine-toothed" carnivore, just eat it raw.

It's how evolution/God/FSM intended.

8. Properly filleted, grilled with just a touch of saffron oil...

then fed to the cat in a crystal sorbet dish.

19. How do you fillet a gerbil?

X-Acto knife and microscope?

9. I'm kinda pissed that this thread is still alive.

Not because of the content, but because a few months ago I posted a thread asking which would be more delicious between a puppy and a kitten, and that shit got locked before the second reply. :mad:

10. I agree.

Nor did I see that post.

(Was yours a copycat as well?)

13. This question reminds me of the Mongolia episode of Globetrekker,

which involved the traditional hunting/cooking of marmots (IIRC). Truly brilliant television...

[petronius]

12. It got locked because it was a stupid question

Everyone knows the answer is puppies; why waste Lounge space even discussing it? ;)

:)

11. stuff it with smoked gouda, wrap it in bacon and then grill over an open fire

[jberryhill]

14. That actually sounds pretty good

I think Olive Garden has a dish called Guinea Pigs In A Blanket, based on a traditional Northern Italian recipe.

15. You eat cat food?

16. Gerbil on a stick

---

7 to 8 large gerbils
1/2 C all purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten with
1/4 C milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
2 cups canola or peanut oil for deep frying
7 to 8 pointed sticks - don't use pencils - you could die from all that lead.

Skin and gut gerbils - remove heads and feet
rinse and pat them dry
mix dry ingredients in a shallow pan
roll prepared gerbils in flour and then dip in the egg and milk mixture
redip in the flour, insert stick from head side toward hind quarters along spine - set aside


heat oil in heavy skillet
fry 2 to 3 gerbils at a time, cook until golden brown - about 4 minutes do not crowd pan or gerbils will be greasy

serve with ranch dressing and mustard for dipping

Bon Appetit!

18. like the Romans did doormice...

Keep it in a jar feeding the shit out of it until it's fatter than my ass, then stuff it with nuts, roast it with garlic, and slather it with garum.

HOLY MONKEY THAT'S GROSS!!

20. Step 1: Remove frying pan from cabinet.

Step 2: Turn frying pan so bottom of pan is facing you.
Step 3: Begin to whack yourself in the face with the frying pan for even THINKING of eating a gerbil as dinner.
Step 4: Continue to whack yourself until you knock some sense into yourself or knock yourself out, whichever comes first. My bet is on knocking yourself out, but hey, at least you got to whack yourself some first, right?
