To ask what in the holy hell have I just been served?

[HashtagTeamRaven]

It looks like rat. Please tell me it isn't rat?
I've eaten many a strange thing in my day (I have a weird job that often requires me to) but feel like rat would be a new low.

For context, I'm in Russia and was served it by a non English speaking Housekeeper who I suspect doesn't like me much.

it's rat isn't it?

@HashtagTeamRaven I’ve eaten there in dubai, it’s bloody amazing isn’t it!!

Definitely a rat. You can see the face.

Because steak and bacon!!
Yummy😘

As the neck was left during butchering, I'd guess a partridge, not a quail?

It's pigeon - poorly prepared but it is pigeon

Your job sounds interesting. Do you enjoy it?

My husband, a native of those parts, says it is partridge.

Definitely a bird. The 'tail' is it's spine. Cooked rat is a completely different shape. Also, no one serves rat with the hind legs removed- that's the best bit.

just eat it. If you're ill - sue

This is hard for me, as a guinea pig mama

Your typing is excellent considering your lack of opposable thumbs.

It's a partridge in a pear tree

Did it taste like chicken?

The picture is stomach turning.

I REMEMBER THE HORROR FILM THREAD

That’s all I have to say. Glad you survived, OP

@Andpppy it's quail

Is it badger?

I feel sick.

The picture is stomach turning.

Are you a vegetarian? The picture looks like cooked meat.

It’s only got two legs. So it’s either a bird....or a rat with two legs. Ask her

The OP already said upthread it’s quail - rtft people!

Da. Ya vegetarianets. In Russia that is, from now on. In England I remain a carnivore.

i’m guessing your a maternity nurse/nanny/governess

ask her she did. The answer is up the thread.

Small bird of some sort. Quail? There are 2 legs and that long thing is a neck. It'll be a songbird or something. When abroad just always say you're a veggie.

@mumlost1940 I think that bit of genius went unnoticed - well done though
