A few year ago squirrel was the fad and they were selling in the same market for £7:99 and rabbits were £4:99. Yesterday there wasn’t a squirrel in sight, or venison. The last game dealer in the Grainger market, Kettlewells , is long gone, and the butcher that sold “exotic” meats like kangaroo, alligator, wild boar, is now a “bubble tea “ shop, whatever the hell that is ? I called into Findlays butchers, where I used to get as many lamb ribs and neck bones as I could carry for free……now they want £2 for a very small bag. A wave of nostalgia came over me and I traipsed off very disappointed ! Cheers. Quote Link to post

I find it’s not too sensible to upset a butcher in a bloodied apron with a cleaver in his hand. Cheers. Quote Link to post

He used to say to me "the only thing better than squirrel and chips is two squirrel and chips its a bit stringy mind you" Badger, blackbirds, rooks, gulls, to name a few of the things he ate. He would always ask if I was hungry when I went to visit, I was apprehensive of saying yes until I knew what was on the menu. 3 Quote Link to post

My dad used to eat gulls eggs, you could buy them in the Grainger market….. probably illegal now. I boiled up a badger ham once, but the smell and the grey scum put even me off from eating it. I know squirrel became very fashionable in restaurants a few years back, but I think of them as tree rats. I eat just about everything I catch and when a huge old fighting bird I took pity on when his career came to an end because he lost an eye, he went into the pot when he got too manny.
