I’ve eaten more than 400 squirrels since 1999. I’ve had em fried, baked, broiled, jerked, ground, pressure cooked (the best) in shepherd’s pie and bbqed. They taste like chicken thigh meat, but not at all fatty. Squirrels are fastidiously clean inside and out. I’ve skunned [sic] out some with botfly larva buried in the skin. That’s pretty gross, but it doesn’t affect the meat. My work colleagues have been surprisingly open-minded when it comes to trying different squirrel dishes.
I hit the squirrel-eating wall a few years ago. I only have four or five a year now. Like when I hit the donut-eating wall when I worked in a donut shop.
Props to this guy.
Dang King, you are to squirrels what Bubba Blue (from Forrest Gump) was to shrimp....
I’d love to try squirrel someday, for now I just watched the Hawks and owls get them out of my oak trees
Agree! It tastes like chicken thigh meat and I would definitely try a burger. Better than plant based crap or chicken tumors.
fried they are inedible- too tough and stringy- pressure cooked they were ok- not crazy abotu the taste though- would be good in a stew though im sure-
