Squirrels; my old boys dog isn't keen, that's enough of an indicator for me to steer clear, as he considers some other pretty nasty xxxx as delicacies ;s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I sneaked a squirrel into the slow cooker when the wife was making a chicken stew, and was at work. I took all the meat off just before the wife returned and mixed it in. It Fooled the Mrs and kids, as it was white meat very similar to chicken anyhow. Everyone thought it was great! (Which it was!) Until i told them... The kids were fine about it, but it took a few days for the wife to come around.... She was just as uninterested when i cooked a Pheasant stew a few months back. Until she tasted it. Now shes hooked! She's a typical, 'Doesn't meat grow off sheets of polystyrene wrapped in cling film type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I sneaked some venison into a beef stew once. The lad loved it. He asked what is was, so I said "its what your Mother , calls me " He said to the wife "don't eat it..its arsehole" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villadave59 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Crow sounds brave ,carrion peutrid meat I reckon I'd go for the squirrel if I had to choose, but only have reds where I live so of the menu .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Squirrel is good. All I use is the back legs, just roll them in flour and fry them, quick , easy and tasty. Kentucky fried squirrel. I have asked several people to try them without telling them what it is, and they have all liked it. Apparently prepared squirrel is selling for £8 a time in London.

Toby Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Do reds taste better than greys In all serious, no greys over here. Just reds but no one eats them and few shoot them. Have eaten crow, fieldfare, jay before, all good. Crow actually similar to grouse. Drew the line at gulls and fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I grew up eating squirrel. The region of the US I lived in had really large, heavily bodied grey squirrels we hunted with .22's in hardwood groves. We would lightly brine them and either stew or fry them. No one ever complained.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillair1 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I remember looking forward to a rabbit and squirrel stew I'd done in the slow cooker. By the time I'd got in from work my partner had woofed all the small pieces of 'rabbit'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
