*This Bring Your Own Squirrel was in an invitation for a Father's Day Celebration at my sister's. I'm wondering if she'll let us come without the squirrel?

my sentiments exactly!

No fried squirrel for me thanks ... I love the pesky little buggers alive and annoying!!

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

Dog once tried to bring one in that seemed to have rigor mortis already set in. I put my foot down and he dropped it and I had to get a shovel to dump the little bugger far away from the house...

I have some friends who love to cook up squirrel!!!! I just gave them some moose burger and moose sausage today. They love to "eat off the land"!!!
I'll pass on the squirrel!! hehehe

Well I'm assuming my nut of a sister is really kidding. She plays with preschoolers all day and is too tired to cook, for one! And two, she's quite the picky eater. LOL

Is that for real?

Or did you get it from Viggo's cookbook? (Oops, that was a rabbit, hehe)

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

Now if I could find a joke recipe for rabbit, course, I probably could google for elephant stew...

Just bring fried chicken cutlets. Everyone knows squirrel (and rattlesnake, and turtle, and....) "tastes just like chicken"

;-)

I passed this on to several folks at work yesterday and today and that's exactly what they said. GMTA!

Is this from the Viggo Mortensen Wildlife Cookbook?

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

Yep! Right next to roasted roadkill...

All I could picture when reading this was the look of horrified disgust that likely crossed Aflon's face when she saw this....and that got me giggling like mad. :)

I am happily owned by a little squirrel whose back legs don't work just right...so he stays inside... and I should not have read this post because I thought I was going to be ill.

What do people have against eating vegetables and grains and such?

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

Oh sorry! I think my sister sent that in the invite as a joke. I can't picture her eating this and my BIL is by no means a hunter.
