I've had rabbit when I was little. We used to visit my gran once a week. Her OH always managed to catch a rabbit from his allotment, so he said, which we always had for our special treat dinner. It was quite nice, a bit like chicken, from what I remember.
I think there's more on a rabbit than a squirrel, although the later might be more plentiful.
I wonder if the sight of a cooking pot would act as a squirrel deterant.
What an menu. Horse Meat, goat and rabbit. Have eaten rabbit and still do, but not horse meat. I really couldn't eat that, they are such beautiful animals, so intelligent, it doesn't seem right. We go to Louth most Saturdays and there is a game dealer there. He sells rabbit, hare, pigeon, partridge and pheasant, when in season and had venison too last Saturday. There was a shop in Holt, Norfolk that sold squirrel when we visited last year, we gave it a miss.
Bought a bag of spuds today 25 kg cost me £7.99. that's twice what they were last year
We are having something far more ordinary this evening.
Shepherds pie with cheesy top, cabbage, beans and carrots. Left over Apple crumble for afters for OH.
It's funny, isn't it, that we will eat some animals - even cute ones like lambs ducks and chickens - but not others. I like rabbit, though according to my butcher it's imported from China so I don't buy, I like traceability in my meat. And if we'd been brought up in a different time or place we'd each witchety grubs or be horrified at the idea of eating cow or we'd eat puffin on Fridays because it counts as fish.

Rat-au-van
Ah.
I have occasionally seen the ingredients for squirrel-au-van, and, very unfortunately, hedgehog-au-van.
I have eaten Horsemeat by mistake!
But that said! I agree with Geoff! It was rather nice!!
Nice cup of coffee anyone~~~
Reminds me of a butchers in the Cotswolds - they were selling ''roadkill'' burgers. God only knows what they were made from.
