The rise of ‘invasivorism’ has introduced a range of unusual eating choices as diners strive for a more ethical diet
It can be grilled like asparagus, mixed into a sweet-sour ripple ice-cream or even turned into a beer. When guests arrive at Silo, a “zero-waste” restaurant in east London, next month they’ll be treated to a series of dishes from an unlikely source. It is more famous as the scourge of homeowners, but for some, the solution to the Japanese knotweed crisis is to serve it for dinner.
Eating invasive species – called “invasivorism” – is increasingly fashionable as people search for ethical diets. In London, at The Ninth in Fitzrovia, three-cornered leek, a milder version of wild garlic, has been whipped into aioli, while at Native in Mayfair it is used alongside asparagus. At Seasonality in Maidenhead you can tuck into muntjac deer tartare, while Edinburgh’s The Palmerston uses sika deer extensively.

Eating squirrel is not the unusual, but squirrel stuffed with roasted crickets might not be good (but I’d try it anyway).
What time should I be over????
East Carolina Shrimp and Grits is delightful!!!!!!!
Real, authentic Haggis is wonderfully delicious. Haggis, Tatties, and Neeps, oh boy!
Native English squirrels were red. Grey squirrels came from the US and Canada, probably in grain shipments, and displaced the native species. The original species isn’t extinct yet.
We had aggressive black squirrels coming down from Canada, but apparently, they are just another variety of the usual grey squirrel species.
It's already too late.
Pasta is already eaten.
But you could come over for a brownie and a cup of coffee, if'n you want!
LOL...Thank you very much!!!!
As dog food they’d be fine.
Best thing about a squirrel haggis would be that there is so little of it.
“Silo, a “zero-waste” restaurant in east London...”
So..they don’t need garbage cans out behind the restaurant?
Will they be serving up third world illegal invaders? Soylent Eritrean?
Grows from four to five people. One restaurant will make big news today but will be out of business in under two years.
Black Squirrels Matter!
