She's perverse.... she'll eat chopped up muskrat boiled over a smoky
fire when her classmates won't but pull a tantrum at home if her egg
is overcooked or has salt and pepper on it, even it is just 4
molecules that escaped from another egg in the same pan.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Fred's Muskrat
 Categories: Wild, Game, Misc, Bacon, Chilies
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      4    Muskrats (all fat
           -and glands removed)
    1/2 lb Bacon
    1/2    Celery bunch, chopped
      4    Onions, chopped
    1/2 lb Oleo
    1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
           Salt
           Pepper
     21 oz Tomato soup
           -(2 standard cans)
 
  Saute bacon, celery, onions, oleo and cayenne pepper together for
  10 minutes.
  
  Put rats in bottom of a pan you can cover tightly (my mother makes
  a double batch and uses the roaster she cooks turkey in). Pour
  sauteed mixture over the rats, and then cover with tomato soup.
  (Don't add water to the soup.)
  
  Bake, covered, for 2 1/2 hours at 350 degrees F or until done.
  
  NOTES:
  
  *  Muskrat roasted in tomato sauce -- In northwestern Ohio and
  downriver Detroit, we have "muskrat suppers" in the winter,
  sponsored by churches and volunteer fire departments to raise
  money, rather the way other people have chicken and ham dinners.
  This recipe comes from Fred Witty, via the cookbook put out by my
  parents' church.
  
  Legend has it that during the depression, the Bishop of Detroit
  declared muskrats to be fish (since they live in the water), so
  they could be eaten by Catholics on Fridays.
  
  *  Muskrats are small rodents that live in swamp and build
  beaver-like houses out of cat-tails and mud. In New Jersey and
  Ohio, at least, they are trapped for their fur; I suspect that
  knowing a trapper is the only way you can get muskrats.
  
  *  The recipe book I have has a recipe for muskrats for a crowd,
  that (for 20 rats) uses the above ingredients (but quantities
  unspecified, except it only uses about 1/4 lb oleo), plus chopped
  green and red peppers, garlic salt, 5 bouillon cubes and 3 bay
  leaves. Around Detroit, muskrats are cooked with cabbage and
  potatoes, and some folks at home roast them with apples and
  onions.
  
  : Difficulty:  easy once you have the muskrats.
  : Precision:  count the muskrats.
