I like them in a jambalaya, that's the best way. Or smother them in a brown gravy and cook em' until the meat is falling off the bones. Either way, I'm Cajun...I can make a fart taste good!

I like them.

I'd eaten them years ago as a kid, but couldn't remember what they tasted like. I started squirrel hunting last fall to get out in the woods and maybe scout a bit for deer and picked up a few.

Here's what I did:
I quartered them and boiled them for an hour with salt, pepper, onion, and celery for sesasoning (the goal of this was to tenderize). Then I barbecued them on the grill for an appetizer. Excellent! Good enough that I'm looking forward to squirrel opener this coming Tuesday. Even traded for a better .22 and scope yesterday to get ready.

Ravens and crows on the side of the roads eating their hearts out.

Like any food, it can be prepared poorly, but overall, I think it is great. Better than rabbit, IMO. Fried like chicken or stewed in BBQ sauce.

Part of me would like to try the brain gravy that I have read about, but I understand it is risky now, and should be avoided.
