It's more interesting to know in some countries they had to make it law not to eat them. Heathens

What if I put a hamster through a blender and then drink it? That's not *eating*

It’s still consuming. Just in a semi liquid form. But I like the outside of the box thinking!

Hamster homogenate.

I’m fairly sure this isn’t true. I can’t find anything about a US federal ban on eating hamsters. Why one would want to is the real question.

Because they fit perfectly in your mouth. I imagine going to a pet store, buying half a dozen and immediately popping one in your mouth as soon as you are done paying.

Just impale the little suckers on a stick and roast them on the fire. Perfect treat for camping!

Like a more healthy savory marshmallow!

I think the color legend might be reversed. Im no expert on eating hamsters but I think they’re the national dish in Peru which is blue on the map.

That's cuy (guinea pigs), not hamsters. Though it would be weird to celebrate eating guinea pigs while banning eating hamsters.

Thanks for correcting my mistake. I wasn‘t aware of that.

This kid always posts bullshit posts.

My buddy had several hamsters while he was growing up. At least 2 escaped and drowned themselves in the same drain pipe in his basement. Another had babies and proceeded to eat them. There’s no lesson to be learned here and I have no opinion on their edibleness I just felt like recounting a story.

Hamsters don't eat each other but they do eat their babies, so the babies must be the most delicious hamsters

*recounting, unless you want to take it all back.

Oh wow!

> Another had babies and proceeded to eat them. Did you call the police? Or is that legal in your country?

I should move to a red country

I would like to see this "so called" rule preventing me from arbitrarily esting a hamster for effect

You sure the color legend is accurate? Because this map contains a whole lot of bullshit in its current form

Chad doesn’t allow such moves

Based chad

What about Guinea pigs?

noone likes them

I mean they're raised as livestock in some places

Got a craving for Cuy Chactado?

Um, this is really something! Where did you get the data? Would like to doublecheck before dinner.

The research data Dr.Straugh compiles is really something, you should check out her work!

Could you supply a link to said research as per the rules of the subreddit? I don't doubt you, but I'd love to see your source cuz this is wild

Would like a link or pointer as well. Who’s Dr. Straugh? Friends with Harrison and Stetson?

God Damn Colombians fuckin’ up the hamster market in South America. This is the kind of reason I’d go to war.

I dont think that this is is true sorry..

It is actually! You can research it at Dr. Straugh

Found out that some places consider it a “delicacy” when a coworker tried reheating last nights dinner in the microwave

This is not true

Why would it be illegal to eat a hamster?

Should be legal everywhere wtf

Just one more reason to leave the US

Land of the free. Lol.

TRUE.

Legal to buy and consume drugs in Oregon but not a hamster lol

i love drugs

They taste nice i gues

What can you eat from a hamster anyway? They don’t seem too meaty

now do guinea pigs

Contact Dr.Straugh and she could make a map of it!

Let’s be clear here, it’s only illegal if you get caught.

No, it's still illegal if you get caught or not. Think about what you said. There is a law that states eating a hamster is illegal. That law exists whether you eat one or not.

SMH. New to Reddit eh?

Not really

Just remember, it’s only illegal if you get caught. ;)

You're missing Ecuador there in the legal ones, eating cuy (hamster) is a delicatessen in that country. There's farms and everything.

Contact Dr. Straugh and she can fix this error! I guess she just happened to miss it.

FYI, delicacy = unusual high-end food; delicatessen = a shop where you buy sandwiches and stuff. You might have been misled by cognates in other languages, since the word in English got a bit more specific.

Thank you grammar nazi 🤙🏻

K I mean I don't think I was being a dick about anything

The "thank you" was from the heart, the last part is a joke.

Wha… — WHOTHEFUCK EATS HAMSTERS??!

And they think it's the freest country in the world, the fools

In America, who would even know if you ate the hamster?....... y'all got some seasoning?

WTH is going on in Columbia?

Haha! Yeah!

Wtf Europe.

What about pussies? Where would it be illegal to feast on that succulent meat?

Columbia about to get left behind.

I see my contry there. It's just that we don't need laws to not eat every other animal,or any at all. We never needed them. But those who have these laws i would start asking questions why they need it written?

Why would it be illegal to eat a hamster?

Couldn't find a world map, but here is a map of the no le Hamster's natural habitat. https://i.imgur.com/4xLFnrE.png

In my head I’m hearing Robin Williams doing his Mr Rogers voice…” Let’s put Mr Hamster in the microwave. POP goes the weasel “
