This is OP, and none of us who are the squirrel are sick.

+1 Brunswick stew is traditionally made with squirrel.

The "don't eat an animal that eats trash" thing is very weird to me. You all understand that their food goes through their GI system and liver like any other animal's food, right? They process the discard food (ie. trash) into proteins and fats and carbs, just like any animal that eats grass.

I presume you don't eat any CAFO animal products and most definitly not pork! Do fucking way do you eat pork!

Nope. Don't eat pork.

Unless you live in the country, I would pass. City squirrels (and suburban ones) pick through trash. Meh.

LOL!

Good thinking.

A vino nobile. We thought the gamey meat would require something earthy and mineral forward.

I think squirrels are like big rats with fuzzy tails. I feel ill after reading this thread. Thanks.

Make Brunswick stew.

For the win!

I think this is awesome OP. Bravo. I hope you also sipped a great bottle of wine while you were eating it.
