About 30 years ago I went camping up in Timagami and our outfitter provided us with moose heart, musky beaver, and other things. I was not hungry then as I was only ~21 and not so daring. He was the guy the RCMP would call anytime there was roadkill because they knew he'd go day or night rain or shine and get that fresh kill off the road for his freezers. I'll never forget how he said his favourite was "eatin' rat!" "Ew," we said, "rats?" He said, "not rats, I mean muskrat is the best. I say 'rat fer short." True story.
