RE: Squirrells,,,, tough little suckers???
The young ones are the ones you want to fry -- and they can get tough and rubbery if fried too long or too fast. The old ones I make dumplings out of. You can pressure cook them but that is no guarantee that they will be edible. I will have to try the BBQ recipe -- it sounds delicious!! My dad loves squirrell but there was only so much my grandmother did with them.
