Surely you must have something better to eat then those tree rats. Boil up the recoil pad on that scatter gun might be a start.


… that’s funny right there Nor… my poor wife gave up on me listening along time ago lol

… to me cat squirrel is the best tasting meat in the woods.. just not much on them


Insert profound nonsense here

I don't do anything on the way home from work, im ready to get to the house and off the road with all the crazy people. Figured the squirrels still had wolves in them right now. I guess you dig those out and use them for fish bait though.


Not my circus, not my clowns.

Yall act like gumbo is some fancy gourmet pot of food that has to be made from only the finest ingredients. I have always figured it was a way to feed a family with what is cheap (rice) and whatever meat one could pick up on the side of the road (even cheaper).

I'd think skinning while they were still warm and a pressure cooker would be the hot set up for squirrel. The way those kids are growing Savell, I'd prolly never turn down meat.

Feel bad for the lil fella. I'll be halfway to Texas on Sunday and feel I should help him out with his gumbo by bringing some swamp donkey hoofs to boil up.

My Dad talked about squab pie while growing up during the depression. That's hard times!

Squib is what you call it so people don't realize they are eating pigeon

Bernice ruined so many kids for eating pigeon

There's not many people around here that eat the brains any more.
I tried them once , not bad tasting , the texture was strange though.
My brothers father in-law loved the brains , we hunted from a boat one day.
His girl friend cooked up the squirrel and kept the heads on.
Cracked the skull with the back of a spoon.
Picked the brain out whole.
Haven't tried them since , but did save squirrels with the heads on for one of his daughters.

LOL Your ancestors more than likely ate the same.
Survival was the name of the game awhile back.
Looking like we may have to get back to those ways of waste not want not.

Mama made a wonderful pot of squirrel dumplings. My younguns thought it was pretty good until someone spilled the beans.

Climb the hay mow to catch squab to feed the family. Can't afford Japanese trucks with fancy tires to catch dinner... [Linked Image]



Ate a few squabs growing up.
Breasts are smaller than a grouse , bigger than a quail , and a least three/four times bigger than a dove.
Food was food , and any meat was always welcome on the farm.
Actually squabs were/are young pigeons that never left the nest.
Was a big market in the 50's and 60's for squab.
Same with marsh rabbit , which was just a muskrat under a more palatable name.
