    When I lived in Brighton there was a restaurant that put grey squirrel on the menu and I had some. Tasted like rabbit, very nice. Sadly the local critter-lovers kicked up so much fuss that the restaurant took the meat off the menu because of the bad press from the local rag.
    I get pigeon and rabbit on a regular basis and always a fine meal to be had with them. I'm also very partial to those strong flavoured burgers that you buy in French service stations...cheval? :)

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    Some restaurants refer to squirrel as "tree rabbit" on their menus so their more sensitive diners don't get squeamish.
    As a matter of fact - if those so-called "critter lovers" really did love critters they would be glad to have to little grey feckers killed so that they won't be doing off with the native reds.

    My father used to go our hunting in the fields near our home with his Winchester rifle and a knife:o. He brought home the odd rabbit which i ate. Looked like chicken but a different flavour,nice:). He also came home with pigeon, yes I ate it. Deep fried and crispy....f*ck all meat, greasy but full of flavour. Think I'd eat any living creature once it tasted nice.

    A few of us went to an "authentic" chinese restaurant on Parnell Street last friday. I ordered the crisp fried chicken dish.

    The chicken wasn't deboned and looked like the wasted/leftovers after giving the chicken breast fillet to someone else.

    They simply hacked the chicken up and served it in breadcrumbs... including the entire CHICKEN HEAD :eek:

    Feck sake, we may be in a recession but we don't need to eat leftovers.

    I think it's because the Chinese use the tastier parts of the animal, i.e., the parts with fat and skin. Chicken breast is plain and dry so is not as much of a delicacy as it would be to us.

    Anyone looking to pick and eat their own snails, I think you have to keep them in a fresh water environment for a day or two first to get any possible toxins out of their system.

    I don't think I'd like to eat rat, but squirrel would be interesting.
