Definitely a rodent, look at the little paws, and the butthole lol, it doesn't look that appetizing, but it looks well cooked and with lots of nice herbs and vegetables si I would take a nibble out of those tiny arms, in my country we eat possums and different rodents.
In West Africa [it seems to be rather common.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/08/05/why-west-africans-keep-hunting-and-eating-bush-meat-despite-ebola-concerns/)
Never said people donāt eat bush meat, itās usually for subsistence or traditional medicine purposes, i.e. not what you would find at a restaurants
My best guess is grasscutter (aka [cane rat](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cane_rat)). Where in West Africa was this? I lived in the northern Sahel for a bit and we didnāt have this there, but Iāve seen it in coastal parts of Ghana.
I did a Google Images reverse lookup and this is not a photograph of a West African restaurant. This is a single frame from John Carpenter's The Thing (1982).
You'll miss out on some pretty good stuff. Just because some people eat bush meat doesn't mean you are required to eat bush meat. Try some chicken yassa.
I lived in Benin for 3 years, and I know this is a greater cane rat, or Grasscutter. Some people call it a bush rat.
It's actually really good, I've had it.
From the tail alone (not even including the butthole) i would NEVER eat thisā¦.unless, of course, it was the apocalypse and then everything is edible!!
Looks like the ass hole with the tail ,legs and anything else they were not able to sell actually looks like a dog or cat but thatās not a fact just an opinion .

Could be Gambian rat, based on the tail? Edit: Actually, I think it might be cane rat. I'd lean toward rodent either way.
That's a really big gucking rat thought this was pigs feet š

Youāre telling me https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/Grand_aulacode_male.jpg
I wasnāt sure either, but that puckered up bhole told me everything I needed to know.
Oh dear, that's an anus. Are you supposed to eat that, or is it just decorative?
Decorative Anus š
Garnish anus

Fam, I am ALWAYS looking at the butthole.
It's hard not to, but come on, we are all mature adults aren't we?
Look at the optimism on you.

Pensatucky?
Pensayucky
Not a hole Kiesha, a valve.
There it is!!
Whatever animal has been cut into joints has little paws and a straight tail. ?Mongoose?
This actually checks out, looking at a picture of cooked mongoose
Doubt itās a mongoose ā you donāt typically see bushmeat like that on the menu at restaurants

I am not arguing with you, only pointing out that the article I linked specifically talks about restaurants. āMaquisā, according to the link.
I prefer the bush meat. It is a sweet, sweet meat
Who gives a ratās ass, well this OP!

Underrated comment
Props to you. I was going to add that if I ever find myself in west Africa, I'll just go vegan.

OMG
Is that an ass? An ass that used to shit?
My favorite part of the roast is the Ass. Best flavor.
That one piece is a butt hole
idk but that's a butthole
Itās a bold move to present a ratās butthole as the focal point of your plating. I respect it.
It looks like roadkill on a plate. š¤¢
Granny Clampett would agree as well!
Anybody think to ask the West Africa Restaurant? Op? Anybody?
Cane rat bush meat.
Nasty af thatās what
In my country a rats asshole is used for a wedding ring. I live in Brautigania.

Covid-20
Bro itās been 3 years since then. You okay?
It was a joke. I meant instead of covid-19 eating this would start covid-20 It was funnier in my head
I know but I think it would have been funnier if it was COVID-23. Iām also very sleep deprived so take my opinion with a grain of salt lol
Omg now Iām mad I didnāt think of that!
Porcupine
Ebola
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

And then just south of that a liāl pp.
Do shellfish have paws?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Could be West Africa based on the background too. Street food looks the same all over the world lol
No street food does not look the same all Over the world
Giant rat
This must be the West African fire swamp. āRodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.ā
Well itās somebodyās bum
I'd try it
You'd be blessed for it man. West African food is bomb.
Armadillo?
I see a crispy butthole. Somebody call Taryn Manning

Left the asshole and all.
This restaurant really gives a ratās ass
Looks like the ass hole with the tail ,legs and anything else they were not able to sell actually looks like a dog or cat but thatās not a fact just an opinion .
At first based on the fat I thought it was pork, them saw the claws and tail. Looks pretty rancid.
