Fat toad Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 If so do you roast it or fry it they seem to be well fed at the moment and very plump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) You certainly can and very tasty too by all accounts ,not tried it myself but would guess it can be cooked anyway you like if I was having some I think I would knock a stew up. Have a look at the recipe section there are several there Edited November 1, 2011 by fenboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Haunch is great on a barbie - Very individual taste, somewhere between duck and venison. Even if messing about, avoid the head - google squirrel, brains and hillbilles and all sorts of horribleness crops up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I use to drop them in the chip pan jointed and breaded, nice especially now. Don't gut them untill you've skinned them, its easier. Start skinning by cutting across the back. Some good youtube vids from america about squirl prep U.

unclestuffy Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I find that it tastes just like nutty pork but you need a few to make a good meal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-250 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 They ha it on the news a while back that a supermarket was selling them. Can't remember which it was, I think sainsburys did. Proba around a year or 2 ago as it made news headlines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael milton Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hi,yes i eat them and they are nice. They are a better flavour when they have been feeding on the nut trees. Except when they have been feeding on acorns,as acorns contain tanning,and they have a slightly-strong smell, when you are skinning and gutting them, and you can taste it in the meet.

jackinbox99 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 They do taste nice , use the meat in a casserole see what you think , my missis didnt even know what it was , and still dosen't brilliant. There are no end of squirrels in the tree next to my back garden atm, but my missus wont let me shoot them. I did see a vid of someone skinning one once and it looked like really hard work compared to skinning a rabbit, and not as much meat on it.

old rooster Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 brilliant. There are no end of squirrels in the tree next to my back garden atm, but my missus wont let me shoot them. I did see a vid of someone skinning one once and it looked like really hard work compared to skinning a rabbit, and not as much meat on it. Tell her they are a goddam pest and shoot them all! Was reading an article in the latest BASC magazine where they reckon the reds will be extinct within 20 years if we don't do something serious to get the number of greys down. Been doing my bit; shot all the ones in the garden at my new place, "er indoors" moaned at me until I showed her the plums they had knocked orf the tree. :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before we moved in, id have massive saucepans on the go boiling up rabbits most weekends, but now unfortuantely no longer allowed. I did manage to shoot of of the squizzers the other day however, after it had chewed through half of one of my bird feeders. Kept that well quiet from the missus tho.
