I tried Squirrel meat for the first time the other day, it is fecking lovely! I meen like nicer than chicken and all 'normal' meats lol, I think I am going to have to start shoot more Tree Rats!

 

Ok, heres how I cooked it.....

 

Ingrediants

 

Two Squirrel back legs

Bread crumbs

Bacon

Butter

1 Egg

 

Method

 

1.Dip Squirrel legs in whisked Egg, and role it in the Breadcrumbs.

 

2.Rap the Legs in one or two rashes of nice thick Bacon

 

3.Put in oven, With a huge piece of Butter on top of them both.

 

 

Hope that make sense lol, Oh and Im not sure what Temp the oven was on ask your Wife/Mum thats what I did as I wouldnt have a clue otherwise lol.

 

I meen seriously, this meat is brilliant, I thought it would be like most strange foods, Ok but just a novelty, But this just leaves me wondering why the hell Squirrel meat isnt more 'mainstream', ITS f*****g NICE!!!

Just found a recipe for Bumper Bushytail, in a Sportsmans cook book. by Mrs E.M walker.

2 Squirrels soaked in salted water or vinegar and water for 24 hrs. Dry dip in flour. Put the squirrels in a monster pot! cover with water laced with tarragon vinegar.

Simmer for 2 hours, then put diced onion, celery and carrot.

Add salt, a bay leaf and a heaped teaspoon curry powder.

 

cook for a further 2 more hours. meat will be dropping off bones. Fish out.

Next drop in the sliced potatoes and bunch of parsley and a cupful of mushrooms.

simmer for another half an hour.

 

I have never tried this someone out there might try it.

I think I'll stick to my chicken! lol.
