| #14 THis is similar in premise to RUSH LIMBAUGH's suppor back in the 1990's for CONSERVATIVE-FREE MARKET answers/responses to the Radical Enviro agenda, i.e. that producers will not let any natural specias wid pan-societal, for-profit economic value or worth disappear??? |

| #9 It's been close to 50 years, so I don't remember the taste of squirrel, but I do remember our country cousins (we lived in town) bringing Nannie a mess of squirrels more than once when I was little. She skinned them and fried them up & made pan gravy, and I do remember they were pretty good. Being basically lazy (and having no one to supply me with squirrel meat - or venison, dammit!), nowadays I have to resort to saving chickens, cows, pigs, salmon, and canned white tuna. :-D |

| #7 Restaurants in London are better than restaurants in Paris. There is plenty on bad cooking on this side of the Atlantic too. The boiled and salted cooking was due to the War and socialism after the War. Things have improved enormously since Thatcher. Try any country pub for Sunday lunch and you will never say a bad word about English food. |

| #6 Anonymouse, I know you mean it in jest, but food in the U.K. has improved a lot. http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2007/jan/24/restaurants.uk.michelin.guide.2007 |

| #5 I think someone proposed that the English should eat the invasive gray squirrel that was threatening their local red squirrel. But that idea died when they pondered what squirrel would taste like if it had been boiled for a few hours, like other English cuisine. |

| #2 Squirrels? Pretty good eating. Red squirrels are almost too small, and since a high percentage of their diet is often pine seeds, they can get an off taste. Grey squirrels and fox squirrels, on the other hand, provide more meat than you think, and the meat is similar to dark-meat turkey. As good or better in a crock pot as chicken or turkey or rabbit. More flavorful than you think. Don't knock it till you try it. I don't know about flying squirrels like they mention in the article. Most states don't allow hunting at night, and that's usually the only time flying squirrels (except maybe Rocky) are out and about. |

| #1 How could someone eat a squirrel? That is like eating a rat, and one can't get much nutrition from one of those little creatures. |
