Is squirrel any good? I was literally just thinking about that last night. Weird. They mainly eat nuts right? I would think with that diet that they can't taste too bad. Dammit. Do I really need to catch and eat a squirrel now.

Hard part is cleaning them. They don't skin easy like rabbit.

The trick to cleaning them is cutting them right at the butt hole. Make a slit. Step on the tail and gently but firmly pull up on the back legs.

It takes practice but once you are good at it you can pull the skin off in one motion.

They are tough to eat unless you let them sit in the fridge with seasoning for a few days or soak them in salt water for a few days.

I like them fried and grilled. If grilling them rub them down with oil and seasoning and wrap in foil then put on the grill.

My grandmother was a dust bowl immigrant to CA. I remember it in a bowl in her fridge in buttermilk. After that I stopped asking so many questions, unlike my parents, who would ignore me, she answered, truthfully.

In Syktyvkar (a city in Russia's Far North), a squirrel found a hiding place, from which it stole a packet of drugs. Three students and a former police officer eye-witnessed the incident.

The curious incident took place near School No.3, Interfax reports with reference to eyewitnesses.

The teens started chasing after the squirrel that was holding a packet of drugs in its teeth. The boys were running around screaming at the squirrel in the trees. Their behavior attracted the attention of a passer-by, who turned out to be a former police officer.

The man asked the boys to leave the squirrel alone. The students explained their interest in the squirrel by saying that the rodent was holding some packet in its mouth.

The man looked at the squirrel carefully and recognized the small bundle of red color, sealed on all sides. Such packets are usually used in drug dealing business to pack doses prior to selling them.

While the people were trying to understand the situation, the squirrel seized the moment and ran away, hiding among the trees. "We couldn't catch it, so we will never know where the packet will go and where it came from," the man said.

Buttermilk works great on them.

Any process for them to age and break down a bit.

My father grew up in a big family in a one room dirt floor shack. Stuff like squirrel is comfort food to him. I was raised that way and so will my kids.
