An interesting experiment. The soup had a unique taste, but I found the texture a bit unusual. Not something I would make regularly, but certainly an experience. I gave it a 3 |

This dish didn't suit my taste. The process of cleaning and preparing the muskrat was quite off-putting for me. I wouldn't try it again. I gave it a 2 |
