The original Brunswick stew, from Brunswick County Virginia contains squirrel meat. Anything else is a fraud.
And, I have read that in the past it was a common saying back in the early days of Pennsylvania settlements that a squirrel could hop from tree to tree starting at the Delaware River all the way to the Mississippi River, without ever touching the ground! Can you imagine that... That would be just awe inspiring to see.
Those forests were mostly American Chestnut. Good wood, about 100 lbs of nuts produced each year, now nearly extinct due to imported disease.
Current liberal immigration/invasion policy hopes to find a disease that does the same for Americans.
