Sounds not too bad at all and i will donate a few suirrels I have in mind.
I could get used to this, you know but I am already bright-eyed and bushy tailed!
^5 from me and thankd for the post, my friend.


Where exactly does a city boy like me find squirrel? Our local Ralph's Market doesn't carry anything like that!


I cannot eat the poor squirrel but this made me chuckle the pict is pricless...........a 5 tho


My mother used to fix squirrel. I don't have it often but maybe once a summer. I love this recipe. And your right. The meat(young ones at least)is very mild. Great recipe and photo... Jim

Oh Mark.. the only way a city boy like you is going to have squirrel is if you drive yourself the the country and shoot one....;-)~


Fox squirrels, not skinny little gray squirrels.

We always soaked the parts in heavily salted water for a few hours before applying them to the skillet. Helps to remove the game taste. This recipe sounds great. Now all I need is a few squirrels...


I have a few I could donate to the cause. My squirrels are nice and FAT!!


LOL! Now this is country! :o)
Not saying I didn't eat any back in the day though!


Cooked with a dozen and a half of prunes, this will probably pass in the dark. ;^)


Lol.... Took 2 out of the freezer and looking for something different for them. My fav is squirrel stew. Do like prunes. sounds good too. thanks.
