Though squirrel has long been absent on North American menus, it was once a staple ingredient in several local cuisines, like Kentucky burgoo, and some backyard hunters are still fond of the strange meat.
That's why CNN's Eatocracy is calling squirrel the "chicken of the trees."
And because we know you're wondering just how much meat is on a squirrel, here's an appetizing snapshot of some fresh-out-the-tree squirrel meat.
Yum?

"Awwwwww!" you might coo. "But they're so adorable and sweet and and how could you be so very cruel as to eat the precious Disney fluffy-wuffy?"
Yup – they're all just darling until the day when you walk into your kitchen to find that one has gnawed through your window screen to make himself a snack of your tortillas. He's just there, lounging about on your table all bushy-tailed and cavalier until he spots you...and snarls...and then everything is a blur of tortillas and mange and horror.
There are plenty of squirrels in the world. You can stand to eat a few.

+6I prefer rabbit and venison. As a youth I trapped racoon, muskrat, weasel and mink all of which can be skinned and eaten. I carried a gun on my trapline at age 12 long before the legislature banned it. If times get tough, how will you deal with an empty supermarket and worthless money?
no way
It's cheaper than Alpo or Gravey Train & much tastier.
