• Think you've tried all the exotic foods?
Visitors to the Mercado Republica de San Luis Potosi in Mexico will find a particularly disgusting option: rat meat and rat broth.
Oddity Central reported that in the region, rat meat is coveted for its flavor and alleged medicinal properties.
Each bowl of rat broth includes vegetables and spices and a whole field rat for the low, low price of $5.80.
The vendor, Jose Remedios Hernandez, inherited the booth from his mother; he's the last rat meat seller in the market.
His rats are caught in the surrounding countryside; they reportedly help people with anemia, diabetes or cancer.
