Come on, now. Anybody who grew up in the Southern USA and learned how to hunt has eaten squirrel. And once it’s thoroughly cooked, there ain’t no “bush meat” viruses or microbes in it. The problem with squirrel is that you have to bag a lot of them just to make a big juicy hamburger like the one in that photo. One squirrel, dressed out, is just barely enough for a little sandwich.
But they are quite tasty, probably because of their exclusively vegetarian diet. Tastes much better than chicken. But moonbats think it’s barbaric to eat them just because they’re cute.
Or as Rush Limbaugh once said: “A squirrel is just a rat with better PR.”
He agrees, that bird is much tastier than chicken.
I was raised on squirrel meat and loved hunting them when I lived in the right places. All there is out here is little pine squirrels and a friend said he tried one. Tasted like pine.
