Maybe they think we only like it as ham, bacon or pork chops.

Might have been both. The "staffing issues" thing was quite common at
the depths of the CoVid pandemic.
We had a very enjoyable meal at the other place. The one we wanted was
a local place under new ownership so my siblings in law wanted to see
how much it had changed, for better or worse.

No thanks to having a real rat but pigeon would be interesting.
Could have called it "urban quail". (G)

The enjoyable meal being the point, after all.

I, as well. The relatives I kept as pets were a gerbil and a hamster.
I'd not care to eat one of them either. But I learned a lot about rats
as food after reading a semi-autobiographical neval titled "KIng Rat"
by James Clavell. Set it a WWII southeast Asian POW camp. I was
inspired to do research to satisfy my curiosity.

These are alleged to be "doggie treats". They will make
pretty decent "people treats" as well. -- UDD

All things considered, I think I'd rather have a cat over a dog, 99% of the time. There are times when a dog is better but nothing like a cat curled up on your lap, motor going a mile a minute.......

My sister in law has several dog treat recipies making the same disclaimer. One of her daughters has a springer spaniel that mom and
dad have to "babysit" on a semi regular basis so she makes the treats, keeps half and gives the other half to her daughter for the dog.
We'll be on the road again starting Saturday. Travel will be dicey
until we leave the VT/eastern NY area so I will not be responding to
mail until the early part of next week when we should be safely home.

Plus cats are pretty much self-maintaining. You con't have to "taske
it for a walk" or satisfy its need for affection.

Remember that Petro Truck Stops have the Iron SKillet restaurants and
the food is top drawer - even the buffet.

Didn't see anu of them. Saturday night's supper was a slice of Wegman's pizza in western NY, last night cleaned out the fridge a bit in
Warrenton, VA and tonight we went to Texas Roadhouse in Wake Forest.

Looking on the search engine I see that Petro has merged with TA
(Truck Stops of America) which had a decent, if not quite as good as Petro's
restaurant. If you went down I-95 there were Petro stops w/Iron
Skillet restaurants in New York, New Jersaey (bordentown where I first
met them) and a couple in Virginia (Raphine and Glade Spring)
Once again, I'm glad you guys got home and dry without any extra excitement.
