Posh Rat Burgers

Moscow's 'Krasnodar Bistro' Serves Burger Made from River Rat Meat

— November 24, 2016 — Lifestyle
Krasnodar Bistro, an upscale restaurant in Moscow, is one of the few places in the world that would proudly proclaim that it has rats. The Muscovite bistro offers a host of menu options, but one of its most popular is a river rat burger, which is a burger with patty meat derived from a river rat.

River rats, known as nutria or coypu in Russian, are native to southern Russia. The animal is a rodent but not a rat in the strictest sense -- it is a larger variant of rat that is amenable to domestication (thus allowing its meat to be farmed and served in restaurants like Krasnodar Bistro.)

A river rat burger might not sound palatable to Western tastes, but Krasnodar Bistro isn't the only Russian restaurant serving up the delicacy. River rat is becoming an increasingly popular culinary option in Russia's foodie scene.
Trend Themes
1. Exotic Meat Cuisine - The rise of river rat burgers in Moscow's Krasnodar Bistro highlights the growing interest in exotic meats as a culinary trend.
2. Sustainable Farming - Farming river rats for their meat presents an opportunity for a sustainable alternative protein source in the food industry.
3. Regional Gastronomy - The popularity of river rat burgers in Russia's foodie scene reflects a trend towards embracing regional gastronomic specialties.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - Upscale restaurants like Krasnodar Bistro can leverage exotic meat offerings to attract adventurous diners and stand out in the competitive hospitality industry.
2. Agriculture - The cultivation of river rats for meat production presents an innovative opportunity for the agriculture industry to diversify and meet the demands of unconventional culinary preferences.
3. Food and Beverage - River rat burgers as a niche food trend open up possibilities for creative culinary entrepreneurs and manufacturers in the food and beverage industry.
