We've had a squirrel in the freezer since fall - my oldest son's first kill of his young hunting career! He only got one, so not really enough for a meal. We just haven't had the opportunity to cook it with our busy schedules. Well, the blizzard gave us that opportunity. I used the Andrew Zimmern Chicken Fried Squirrel in Pan Gravy recipe - cut in-half because we only had one. This was dynamite! And both my boys ate it up - really nice flavor. I haven't eaten squirrel since I was young and while my dad tried his best, he was never much of a gormet unless a grill was involved. :cheesy: So my memories of eating squirrel weren't great. But I'm a born-again tree rat eater now. I can't wait 'til fall to get some more!
