Yuck.....Squirrel, possum, beaver, raccoon...Not much of a carnivore anyhow, but those things give me the heebeejeebees.

And no one please tell me where meat comes from, I know where, the grocery store.

BLACK FOREST SMOKED SQUIRREL

Squirrels, cut into pieces
1 c. water
1 c. red wine
1/4 c. salt
4 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tbsp. monosodium glutamate

Marinate squirrel pieces in mixture of rest of above ingredients for 12 to 16 hours in non-metal container. If the squirrels are not covered, mix up more brine. After marinating, drain squirrel pieces on paper toweling. Place on cookie sheet to air dry for 1 to 2 hours.

Place pieces on oiled racks in electric smoker for 2 hours (2 pans of sawdust). Finish the squirrel in 225 degree oven, basting twice with butter for 2 hours. (I often make a pate out of smoked squirrel by grinding the boneless meat, mixing with an equal amount of softened butter and moistening with 1 to 2 tablespoons of brandy. Serve with crackers.)

O.K. over the years I've eaten some different foods and usually when I check out the recipes on this board it makes my mouth water, but not now. I think I've just lost my appetite for a while. YUCK!!

Hi All,

Here in Louisiana we will eat just about anything. Matter of fact, if I pass road kill on the way to somewhere and then see it still there on the way back I am suprised. Anyhoo, if you really want to find a recipe for squirrel, please reference Paul Prudhomme's first cookbook and look up a recipe called "Super Squirrel". I have never tried it myself but we use his recipe for Rabbit Sauce Piquant from the same book and it is awesome.

Never smoked one, but fried in bacon grease is not to bad.

Talking about Louisiana, only place i know that when you go to the zoo and you stand before the cage or display, the sign will have the Name of the animal,Genus (latin name for species), Habitat and at the end a recipe for the animal...... :shock:
