Dr Om Gurung, who is currently heading a government-formed taskforce to make a list of indigenous nationalities, and not on the Nepal Tourism 2011 Board as far as I know. He was recently quoted in the The Kathmandu Post:
“If people can be tempted to taste frog-meat served in a five star hotel in Paris, they would definitely be interested to taste the rats in Nepal. I am sure this could make it to a five-star hotel menu if marketed properly, as the frogs do.”
He should steer clear from making such remarks in the future; speak about your area of expertise and leave the rest for others to handle. Urgh Rat Dinners? so not do-able.
well now that sounds delicious ( a lot of sarcasm intended )
