Anybody ever eat some squirrel before? Never have and woundering how it is...
not bad. better then cat....;P
I have eaten quite a bit of squirrel meat in the past, it's pretty good. I normally brine it or soak it in milk first and then batter and fry it like fried chicken or stew it.
squirrel dumplings with gravy. plan on at least two or three though
Grey squirrel - cooked up in shepherd's pie - my favorite meal as a child.
Red (pine) squirrel - edible - if you have an affinity for turpentine.
Thank goodness we don't have that problem here. Red and gray are just colors here.
Fried squirrel and fried rabbit are foods of the gods. Just plain good eating. Tacmedic is right, a brine soak helps.
Not as good as Bald Eagle.
One thing for sure it don't taste like chicken. It's pretty good, ate them for many years.
Only had it once as a lad, and just a small portion.
But I remember it being very tasty. Cooked until crispy.
Ate them a lot as a kid. Used to hunt them with my Dad using a shotgun. Gotta be careful of your teeth in case a bit o' lead is left in the meat.
Don't exactly remember the taste but I remember liking it... but then it was something I grew up eating.
Like someone above said: I think the meat was soaked in milk for a while, battered and fried. Little squirrel gravy with the leavin's.
I've had plenty of squirrel soup, pretty good. Never tried it fried up though.
yah, becuz ive had plent of chances to kill them but i nevr actully thought about doing it. im probully gunna give it a try on my next aventure. thanks for the opinions

They tend to get expensive if you shoot them out of season and get caught.
Grew up squirrel hunting and eating it. My mother use to make really good fried squirrel.
Um, that's why you use a .22...Quote:

Personally I've never had red squirrel. Greys are the only ones we hunted or I ever saw. I can't imagine them being much different meat wise.
Yes, but someone mentioned terpentine in relation with a red squirrel
use to hunt squirrel with a .22 pellet rifle with some luck. and a few years back had one that had intentions of shacking up in the attic blasted that one with a paint ball gun a few times and he decided to move along:D
