I heard they served muskrat at the Michigan Folklife Festival in East Lansing, but I didn't see it or get to try it. The real center of traditional muskrat consumption is Monroe, which of course isn't far from here.

Monroe was the focus of that article to be sure. Heck, I'd try it...I'm curious now. The most exotic things I've eaten thus far are bunny soup and jellyfish strips, which resembled rubber bands.

Laura, Are you limbering up for Fear Factor?

Nope. I've got plenty of true-crime books to read in the wee hours if I want to steel myself for Fear Factor. I just don't want to feel that I'm missing something (the Thumper soup was good).

You can (or at least could) get muskrat at the Dom Polski bar in Wyandotte. Don't know if they still do it, but it they had it once a week when I was growing up Downriver. I never tried it, though.

I'm not sure whether it was Dom Polski or somewhere else in wondrous Wyandotte, but someplace used to serve it with the slogan "For all you do, this rat's for you." Clearly, Wyandotte's the place to look.

I just saw one of those little critters running around in my back yard. I have always wondered what to do with them ;)

My mom and dad have an especially fat one, too, living in their backyard. Jim: great slogan. Tom, thank you for the tip! I'm curious now...this might turn into a quest.
