Squirrel- the other, other white meat
I just tried my first fried squirrel tonight and I liked it more than fried
chicken.
Move the chickens and turkeys out of the coop!
I'm raising squirrels now! Oh boy those nuts are going to cost me a bundle.

Yep purty good eaten little critters they are. Been eaten them for close to 50 years. But I don't raise them as my wife prefers chicken instead.
Just said on the world news this evening that we might be heading into a depression and food prices are going to keep going up. So we might be eating more of them American tree monkeys. My wife will just have to get use to them.

Don't eat the brains! I knew a man who died of brain disease and this was the only explanation they could find, he loved squirrel brains.

I've had squirrel and rabbit a few times - years ago. Never did aquire a "taste" for it. Good thing - according to the Bible, they are unclean....

Pigs and lobster, shrimp are also considered 'unclean'. But I eat them anyway.

Thank goodness that no food is unclean to Christians! (Acts 10:9-16 & 22:22-29)
Our squirrels are too small to eat, but I'll be raising rabbits soon. Love those bunnies! 
One of these days I'm going to try raccoon - they've fattened up on our cat food & a few chickens & ducks anyway.

Nuts?
They are just Rats with fuzzy tails. They will eat anything not just nuts. You won't even have to let them out to eat either, they will chew their way out of anything to eat your corn crop.
Mmmm-Good.

A chicken is something that will eat anything! A hog will eat most things.

Visiting my grandfather when I was a child was a special treat for our family. His favorite meal was fried squirrel. Since he was an avid hunter and fisherman, Sunday dinner was either squirrel, duck, venison, or fish. I do love fried squirrel but haven't had any in a long time.

Actually, Those passages are commonly misquoted as having to do with food. Christ didn't come to change the food laws, he came to FULLFILL the law and to be our "sacrifice" for sin.
What was an abomination in the OT is STILL an abomination in the NT.
Sorry for the thread drift....
I will shut up now......

Some of the squirrels around here are nearly the size of a cottontail. And man are they bold. I always see a bunch of them in my neighbors backyard eating cat food after the cats are done. I couldn't imagine anything that eats cat food being tasty...the stuff stinks!

You ever seen what lobsters eat?  They're not called the cockroaches of the ocean for nothing.
