Your move human.
I’ve had haggis before. It’s pretty good. But you’d need a lot of squirrels to make a haggis.

Real life has caught up with the Clampetts.
And finished with a slice of Cockroach Carmel Pie.
Oh geez, is there any hope?
Before you gather an armload of Japanese knotweed, however, it’s important to know that only certain parts are safe to eat, and only during certain parts of the year. It’s best to gather shoots when they’re tender in early spring, generally under about 10 inches (25 cm.) or less. If you wait too long, the stems will be hard and woody. You may be able to use the shoots a little later in the season, but you’ll need to peel them first to remove the tough outer layer.
Note of caution: Since it is considered a noxious weed, Japanese knotweed is often sprayed with toxic chemicals. Before you harvest, be sure the plant hasn’t been treated with herbicides. Also, avoid eating the plant raw, as it can cause skin irritation in certain people– cooking Japanese knotweed is a better option. Harvest the plant carefully. Remember, it’s highly invasive.

I have a recipe for kudzu burger, tastes strange but it grows on you.
Since cattle and honeybees aren’t native to the US, I’ll stick with milk and honey... and steaks. Potatoes are native to SOUTH America,right? Well bake a couple of those with more of that non-native butter and sour cream.
If it tastes good, eat it!
Snails, stinky tofu, opossum, dandelions, roe, lutefisk
Lots of stuff out there is weird and eatable.
Except Tripe. Attempting it once was way more than enough for me.
Like old pencil erasers covered in snot.
Eating squirrel is not the unusual, but squirrel stuffed with roasted crickets might not be good (but I’d try it anyway).
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.
“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.
