Squirrels are Toast

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?

I remember reading a story about a park in Vancouver where people couldn't walk through anymore at the peril of being jumped on by squirrels! They had become so bold that they would jump onto people's backpacks and try to stick their little paws in there in search of food. I wonder if it was a made up story.
