Probably real muskrat. Kola's is in Riverview, which you'll
pass near or through between Toledo and Detroit.

IIRC, muskrat is okayed by the local bishop for consumption on
Fridays during Lent. I googled muskrat lent, and turned up a
reference.
Interesting reading even if you don't want to eat muskrat.
