Squirrels are Toast

[dotinthesky]

Celebrity chefs like Jamie Oliver are being urged to feature grey squirrel on their menus.

I don't know if this could ever come to pass in Britain. Maybe squirrel meat tastes good, but would I ever actively choose it from a menu if there were other options? Have any of you ever eaten squirrel meat? What does it taste like?

How did you catch them? Are city squirrels easier to catch than countryside ones?

Why did you resort to hunting and eating them? Were you camping in the wild?

It's terrible that you had to resort to that instead of being able to fall back on soup kitchens, or similar types of charity/government sponsoured places that serve food. Makes me wonder how many people today are starving in this country.

How could you? LOL
I wouldn't eat rabbits too! They're too fluffy to be eaten XD
bad wolf, bad wolf, bad wolf...

Yes, you're right. Wolves are acting according to nature, but humans should stop eating fluffy animals.

LOL Mr. Wolf, you're taking it too seriously! My point is I don't have guts to eat fluffy animals! That's all LOL
And I did notice humans have canine teeth, I have pretty sharp ones, I eat meat and I'm not vegetarian. Happy? Now shut up before I cook your "wolfy" ass.
