Are we going to follow Gordens advice and start munching on squirrels? Never know they may taste good.

Yes Grey ones only please. Thay are just tree rabbits, there are too many of them why the hell not?

not sure I'll catch one and stick it in my frying pan, but if i ever see it on a menu in a restaurant I would like to try it some time, people seem to be really enjoying it on the show.

Yes lets have a few squirrels all washed down with a few pints of horse milk.

Mebbe i need a better pan...never binds together when i make...and the potato is always too soft...

What is your signature dish?

Soto Ayam

First catch your squirrel....

well that's the bit i'm stuck on. What's the best way to get Mr Nutkin from the back garden and into the frying pan???

Have your frying pan sizzling hot, then just chase him/her, (the squirrel that is)in to the kitchen. Then you just toss it straight in fur and all,mmmmmmmmmm, crispy fur...licks lips.

patpot.

Yes it is bound to shriek terribly because of the intense pain. Don't worry about that as it all adds to the flavour.

Might be good with a Hazelnut sauce....

Here Tufty.. (he never looks both ways anyway)

I'm pretty sure I've seen Hugh F-W cook squirrel, I think it was on his 'Cook on the Wild Side' programme. He said some restaurants sell it as 'tree rabbit', I can't imagine there being a lot of meat on one though!

We don't get squirrels in the garden here.. yet.. go to my mother-in-laws in West London.. and theres loads of the bladdy things...

Ummm.. aren't squirrels full of germs n stuff though?

I confess, I have tried squirel. Squirel in red wine to be exact. It was actually quite nice.

Hi, Ive had squirrel in a stew and it was beautiful

As much as I've had a good laugh at some of the posts here, I couldn't actually eat squirrel. Oh, by the way, what does it taste like?????????
and don't come up with the old 'chestnut'it tastes like squirrel.

Chicken ???

TY for that Mouse

I dont remember what the squirel tasted like, it was a few years ago.

I do remember that I liked it though.

Best way to catch a squirrel: with an air rifle.

Never tried it myself, none around where I live (farmland), but the more greys we get rid of the better. Horrible critturs, but no excuse not to give them a humane end...

Bring back the Red!
