squirrel?


Recommended Posts

Last batch i did up was like this: Marinate in red wine for the better part of a day. Then i dredged in flour, salt and pepper and brown in a skillet with olive oil. Then put in a pressure cooker and cook at 10 pounds pressure for 20-25 minutes. That's the best squirrel I ever ate except for when grandma made biscuits and gravy with squirrel in the gravy. Part of that factor was that grandma made that.

I take some Budweiser Honey BBQ mix in some crushed red pepper, some Jamaican (spelling?) Me Crazy Sea Salt(Garlic, sea salt and pepper mix) and some Garlic Texas Pete, coat that lil' bugger down, wrap him in foil, grill him up. Then take the aforementioned mix again, put the cooked squirrel in a pot with extra mix and heat him up again, and man, how bout' some freak nasty good vittles.

My grandmother loved squirrel!

The old ones she used for dumplings. Just boil them and take the meat off the bones. You want to make sure you strain the water you boiled them in to get all the bones out. Then cook the dumplings in the juice, add the meat back in in the last ten minutes or so.

The young ones she chicken fried. Soak in water in a bowl in the fridge for a few days (until all the blood soaked out), soak in sour milk for a few hours or overnight, salt and pepper, dredge in milk/egg and flour and fry slow in a cast iron skillet. Sometimes she would make milk gravy with the drippings and put the squirrel back in the gravy. Oh my goodness that was awesome!

We would skin the head out and she would chicken fry it whole so we could eat the brains and tongue. Sure was good!

Oh yea, the chicken fried way with the gravy is my favorite. Have me hungry now. I know a couple guys that like to fry the brains & eat them. Has eggs with them. Thats not for me though.

It takes too many squirrels for that. Now we used to take deer brains and scramble them with eggs and onion. Pretty good. Plus it stopped people from dropping by just to eat!!
