Squirrel recipe.

And save the Dartmoor pony by farming and eating them.

Are we too squeamish about what we eat?

i've ate a lot worse

kitty86 · 04/10/14 - 20:42

I've eaten some different things through the years so I probably would try it.

I would eat farmed horse....I think . But not sure about squirrel .

Eaten horse, not tried a squirrel yet, though my work colleague has, in fact she will eat most road kill...must be, that she was a farmers daughter.

why not a farmed squirrel

newda898 · 04/10/14 - 20:44

Urgh, would never eat horse...though I am partial to a Findus Lasagne.

Yeah why not? Have eaten monkey brains when I was in northern Thailand Very good meal it was

Plenty of squirrel related recipes from the Fallout games: squirrel stew, crispy squirrel bits, and squirrel on a stick. That said, in the games I have never seen a squirrel, so I don't know where they come from.

Would I eat them in real life, though? Probably not. Would taste like nuts.

Edit: The strangest thing I have probably eaten is shrimp, and that put me off sea food.

I ate squirrel not long ago. Would love to try horse. Strangest thing I have eaten is a sweet porridge made with frog fallopian tubes.

Don't know really. I hate the verminous wee blighters. I live in one of the last outposts of the red squirrel so happy to see the back of the greys. Just social acceptability really.

I only recently ate frogs legs, delicious.

Is there much meat on a squirrel? They look so small!

And in answer to the question, yes I'd try them both at least.

i went to a takeaway and asked do you have frog legs they said yes i said hop over the counter and get me a cheese sandwich then hahaha,,, oh dear

Let me see, cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, rabbit.

Well, as an omnivore I've eaten all of those though never knowingly horse or squirrel.

Would I not be a hypocrite to say I'd never, at least, try horse or squirrel.

If I did and found that I liked/disliked it then that would set the precedent.

According to the recipe I posted it takes 3 to make a quarter pounder, so not a lot.

I think a squirrel would be easier to get in the oven.......

Me too. I'm oddly more squeamish about squirrel than snails and frogs .

A snail goes to a Car dealership and buys a new car. But when he buys it he has specific instructions for the dealer. " I want you to give it a paint job" says the snail.
"Sure, what colour?" says the dealer.
"I want you to paint a big red S on the hood, the doors, the roof and the trunk." instructs the snail.
"Sure thing," says the dealer, "but can I ask why?"
The snail looks at him and explains:

" So when I go driving up and down the strip all the people watching me say "Look at that S Car Go!!!!

oh dear

I don't think I could, nor snake. I won't try eel either. But love shellfish and game and most offal .

I might have eaten horse in France. I had a steak and my tutor joked that it was horse.
I don't know if it was or not. It was unlike any other steak i've eaten but it could just have been a cut that they use and we don't.

Seen squirrel on shows. It was a squirrel kebab skewer. They said it was a bit stringy/chewy.

I'd give both a try though.
