For me, it's kind of a good memory thing. I grew up on them in the Ozarks. Although I'd rather have a steak, squirrel and dumplings is a tradition in the fall. It's what you eat when you don't have cottontail or quail.

Tree squirrels are good eating, but can be real tough. Long low temp cooking needed

I have never been able to develop a fondness for them, which is too bad. They are probably my all time favorite game animal to hunt, which I no longer do whithout anything to do with them.

Squirrel is by far my favriot meat by far. ( I shoot ground squirrels)
Fried, grilled, oand cooked over a open fire is how I have had them and they are yummy!
