Do you kill the squirrels or does she? I could not eat them. I bet people develop a taste for that like Rocky Mountain oysters. I couldn't eat those either.

Geez. What a leap: Stew to bull's balls as a comparison. 🙃 🕺

sharonp -- You did not have to "develop a taste" for fried chicken, didja? Well, squirrel stew under puffy dumplings is in that category. It is not edgy, like sausage or even hamburger.

It is gobble-food. The tender -- and bland, not gamey -- meat pieces are in a delicious gravy.

Cultural bias*** can be overcome by eating some, asking for more, and then finding out it was squirrel saddle. <-- Essentially, mini-filet mignons.

Back in The Olden Days, squirrel, thumping birds (grouse), and wild turkeys were a serious (read: necessary) part of our Family diet. A box of .22's cost fitty cent. I have fed my Family for a week on what I got with a box of .22's. TINS.


***We all have it to some degree. An example:

We love fried eggs. We love cake/cookies made with eggs cracked and dumped in the batter. We love baked/boiled/yada infinity chicken.

Notice something missing? THREE things? If you were ever on a farm, you'd know that chickums have sumpin called egg-sacs. Got unformed eggs in them. Why do we not fry up these not-yet-eggs? Lookit -- for sale on the street in Manila:

To us, that's slimy chicken guts. Agreed? Nevertheless, delicious and natural. Some really GREAT recipes using slimy tubes and guts.

Next. What about the little chickum that has not yet hatched? Those are generally fried. You eat everything, bones and all. Yummy... If you can belay your Cultural Bias.

We ain't done. Next -- You like fried chickum. Did that there chickum die of old age? No? <-- That is clearly OK with you (and me). Sooo... why not do what we do to get LAMB, and VEAL? When the chicken is two inches high, cook it. When it is six inches high, cook it.

Kill the baby chickies!!?? GAAAHHH! Lambs and baby moos are ok, but not baby chickens.

Cultural Bias.

I grew up hunting squirrels, rabbits, and birds, all of which we ate. I find squirrels gamey, but tasty chicken fried and in jambalaya.

Gooode mawning! 58F @ 77% RH, gorgeous, 10/15 mph winds, and predicted to reach 85F with good air quality heah.

A quiet Friday here with no riots, mass shootings, stabbings, or bridges/streets shut down for racing and drifting contests. A day of puttering and some quality park time with the slick, sly pup, interspersed correspondence, reading, power napping, and of course, debauchery. A good day all and all.

I am purty much done squirrel hunting, since I have about a dozen tame ones that show up at the Chateau daily. But if you ever want to ensure NO gamey taste in any form of meat, just soak the meat two hours or so in the fritterfrater in a covered bowl of buttermilk.
 
Good Lord! The CDC made a 7-minute video about the vaxx.

For 6 and a half minutes, the CDC Director laid out charts and diagrams with circles and arrows (quotated) showing how wonderful, safe, effective and good the vaxx is.

Butt... in the last 30 seconds, the same CDC Director finishes up with the tiny little note that new info shows that if you got the shot early, and go for a booster...

You face "increased risk of severe disease from the shot..." <-- QUOTE FROM CDC
Skip the first 6 and a half minutes. That is the MSM sound bite. Listen to the last 30 seconds with the sound up and the Closed Caption working. The last 30 seconds totally remove the statistical bull semen and tells the truth 180 degrees out from the first "publicity sound bite" part.

My deceased best buddy, Redskin, grew up on wild game. He'd get mad at me for shooting squirrels in the head 'cause it messed up their brains. He loved to cook the brains in his scrambled eggs.
I always likes frying the legs in bacon grease. Yum. I'm in the same boat as you now a days. I enjoy watching them out on the bird feeders, and we feed all the critters around here throughout the year. Amazingly, there's enough food that the gray, fox, and pine (red) squirrels all get along. Out in the wild, they're mortal enemies.

I hand feed squirrels, haven't had one in my gun site since the early 60's. Time changes everything.

Long day in the grow. Done now. Didn't get outside to the veggie garden....will have to wait.

Just sat down and turned on some football. Feel sorry for my son in law....he is from and a die hard Nebraska fan. Been a long time since they have had a decent team. Loosing again today. My how the mighty have fallen.
