Dead Squirrel Painted By Road Crews - Resident Sees It As 'Uncaring' (Ohio)
NewsNet5 Cleveland ^ | August 16, 2002

CLEVELAND -- A photo in the Akron Beacon Journal shows a dead squirrel painted over by a road crew, NewsChannel5 reported.

The incident happened on Riverview Road in the Valley.

"I think that's kind of tacky, kind of uncaring, too," said Vonceil Terrell, an Akron resident.

Janet Carter, another resident, said, "I don't think they should've gone over it. There's no way you could miss a squirrel. I think they should've picked up the squirrel before they did the road."

That's the sentiment of the city's Service Director Joe Kidder.

Kidder said the carcass should have been picked up and that not doing so was a mistake.

Blame this on unions - it's not the job of the painters to remove roadkill - says so in their contract - that's someone else's job, and he was on break

Vermin is what is taking your rights away in the Legislative branch of the Fed Gubmint.

Squirrel, not the likes of the nutless Trent Lott, is very tasty when Bar-B-Qued, and when you get the good ones that are pecan fed, it's like eating corn-bred beef...

"You've heard of oysters on the half-shell...???"

I love oysters on the half shell. They don't have have hair on them. Armadillos do.

At least I assume they do. Never tried armadillo. I suspect I never will.

I'll have to take your word on that.

And yes, Trent Lott does seems to be nutless. We agree on something.

C'mon, give it a try!

ARMADILLO SAUCE PIQUANT

Marinade:

1/4 c Salad oil
1 c Vinegar
1 qt Water
1 Onion; sliced
1 tb Salt


Meat:

6 lb Armadillo meat

Sauce:

3 Pieces smoked sausage
1/2 c Salad oil
3 lg Onions; finely chopped
Finely chopped green onion tops
1 lg Green pepper; chopped
2 Cloves garlic; finely chopped
4 Celery stalks; chopped
1 4-oz can mushroom-flavored steak sauce
1/4 c Pick-a-peppa sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tb MSG (- a no-no in my book)
2 tb Worcestershire sauce
2 c Water
1 8-oz can mushrooms; drained
1 c Cooking wine
1 Bunch parsley; chopped
1 Lemon; sliced
Hot cooked rice


Combine all marinade ingredients, stirring well.

Prepare armadillo meat by cleaning and cutting into serving pieces. Marinate for 24 hours. Remove from solution and allow to drain for 30 minutes before cooking.

In a heavy black iron pot, brown sausage and armadillo in hot oil, permitting meat to stick to bottom of pot just a little for extra flavor. Remove armadillo from pot and set aside leaving sausage in pot. Add onions, green pepper, garlic and celery; stir continuously, cooking until tender. Add steak sauce, pick-a-peppa sauce, salt, pepper, MSG, and Worcestershire sauce; mix well. Add armadillo and water. Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Reduce to low heat and cover with tight lid. Cook until tender. (Do not stir but take pot by handle and half-spin from left to right every 10 minutes). Add mushrooms and wine; blend gently with a spoon. Sprinkle with parsley and lay thin lemon slices on top. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Serve over rice.

NOTE: Clear stew meat may be substituted for armadillo, if desired.

"I've tried fried armadillo. Gristliest piece of meat I've ever eaten."

All the more reason for me not to try it. Besides, meat should always be grilled, never fried.

"C'mon, give it a try!"

That might prove difficult as there are no armadillos where I live.

How do you Texans cook armadillo? Rare, medium or well done.

Cube it up, dredge it in flour, salt and pepper.
Saute it in a little oil until lightly browned. Then add it to the stew pot.
It makes great chili. Works with rattlesnake too, or squirrel.

Texas ex-pat in Indiana, where the hell are all the armadillo's at bump.

When I was in Field Camp (Geology) in the Shenandoah Valley we happened upon a stretch of road which had been paved with a mixture that was to heavy in tar. The sun heats this up, and it tends to separate leaving aggregate free tar patches on the surface. A lot of critters got hit along this stretch, and the road surface was covered with these tar patches that had perfect skeletons (all be it with a lot of busted bones) impressed in them like that Far Side cartoon where the archaeologists find the caveman in the mammoth footprint.
