Nah . . . big ol’ red or northern grey, skin it, score the muscle sacs with a sharp blade, soak overnite in salt water in the fridge, and pan fry it.
Make gravy with the drippings and eat with a green veggie and some taters, preferably home fries. Gravy goes best on smashed taters, but it’s good on a slice of peasant multi-grain bread.
Also works great in a shepherd’s pie if you cut the meat into blocks about the size of shootin dice.
Don’t forget to score the membranes, or it’ll be tougher’n shoe leather. ‘Course cubin it kinda renders scorin moot.
If your cookin, I’m eatin.
I used to have a box of Roadkill Helper my Old Man gave me years ago. The cardboard finally rotted enough for me to throw it away.
Why would you screw your squirrel up with something like that? I like the flavor of squirrel with a big pan of gravy for soppin’.
I don’t personally know, I’ve heard that Possum is actually tastier.
Sorry, Pacific Northwest denizen.
My grandmother Schmidt made fried squirrel and got me hooked. She had a small grove of pecan trees behind her house and she would give me the 22 and a handful of rounds and I was expected to come back with supper.
I would never eat possum.
