About Muskrat
Muskrat is a small semi-aquatic mammal and the name can identify the animal as a food source. The record does not specify a cut, preparation, or whether it refers to the animal generally or its meat as sold for food. No particular source or handling can be inferred.
When encountered as food, the edible material is muskrat meat, which may be offered in different cuts or processed forms. Appearance, texture, and flavour depend on the cut and preparation. The name alone does not establish how the meat was raised, obtained, or prepared.
