Squirrel slow-cooked in a cast iron dutch over, with country gravy over mashed potatoes

My mom refuses to eat it (she's squeamish about eating rabbit too because of the "cute and fuzzy" factor), but my dad would go squirrel hunting and made it for us kids whenever he brought some back.

Is this a real thing or a meme? Do they taste good?

Don't be scared of the tree rats. I'd strongly recommend a good brine or other soak to remove any wild flavors along with using peanut oil to fry in a pressure cooker.

I like to eat squirrel bits on their own usually crispy but sometimes like em on a stick

I've never cooked with it, but I have had squirrel stew. It was pretty good. I would describe it as a cross between rabbit and duck.

Yeah, they're pretty good. Not a lot of meat on them so it's not something you make a huge meal out of.

Squirrels taste awful, and they're cute. There is literally no reason to eat them unless it's the last resort.

They're delicious, similar to ham if you cook it straight up.

There's one in my backyard that has just disrespected me. I'll cook him tomorrow and walk ya'lls through it.
