Tastes like chicken
My parents still live in America – in Michigan to be precise; a state which used to produce cars, but now does trade in murder, unemployment, child abuse and crystal meth. Already tough times have recently gotten tougher.

I spoke to my dad on the phone the other day:

“TheSnark, honey, all of the squirrels have disappeared.”
“Meh?”
“Yeah, the people are so poor and hungry they’re eating the varmints.”

I expect them to go after the cats next.

It's crunchy..
Squirrel, but OK if you avoid the bones, they're bark munching aggressive little bastards, so it's ok to eat them...
Not the little red cuties that are endangered in the UK though... Not enough meat on them anyways..

At St John's in Smithfield and it was lovely.

I knew Motor Town was going through hard times...
...but that's harsh.

With two of the "big three" possibly looking at chapter 11 bankruptcy times aren't good for the US car industry.

Squirrel is nice.
Bit fiddly because of the small bones, like rabbit, but got a nice taste. Especially in Brunswick Stew.

I'm trying to persuade my father to get a shotgun: he's retiring soon, and will be able to sit on the back porch shooting at the incredible quantities of wood-pigeons that live in our garden in the summer. Yumyumyum.
