Perhaps this concept isn't hitting home for you, however, one thing is for certain, you too have indulged in a rat snack.
Whether it be plain bread dipped in tea, a slice of salami and mayo, a watermelon salad or pickles on toast, you have dived into the vermin culinary culture.
Here are more rat snacks shared by The Cut:
- Melted chocolate chips and peanut butter mixed with a crunched-up handful of whatever cereal I have had on hand
- An entire can of black olives with a handful of pretzel sticks
- Sad nachos, composed of shredded cheese, hot sauce, and the crumbles at the bottom of a bag of tortilla chips. Microwaved for 15ish seconds. A rat snack demands immediacy.
- Saltines dipped in McDonald’s Sweet ‘N Sour sauce
- A spoonful of feta cheese and capers
- Alternating pinches of sprinkles and cashews

Having a dairy-based side for the wings is quite normal, however, people generally opt for mayo, ranch or a dressing of sorts.
When we surfed the internet trying to find out more about this concoction, we found that there are also wings that are marinated with yogurt. Just as we thought it couldn't get any stranger...
