Mouse for Dinner
While at the chalet worksite one of our workers (Richard) was quick enough to catch a mouse that had burrowed a hole next to the foundation’s footings. With lightning speed he pounced upon the rodent and raised it into the air proudly. 
Many Zambians consider field mice a food delicacy and are quite willing to dig for them in the fields, but they also clearly despise house rats and make a clear destinction between them and the field mouse.. After the mouse is killed it is then cooked by boiling water and then stirred in to mealie meal (corn meal) into it until it gets thick. If you were to eat at Richard’s home the same evening, chances are … as a guest, you would be served this prized delicacy.
