Topic starter
 

Watched Countryfile earlier (sorry). Julia Bradbury visited the guy who lived in the wood and built the 1st house on Grand Designs.
I digress.
He regularly hunts and eats grey squirrels - they went out and shot 3, skinned them, cut them up a bit and BBQ'd them. Really nice apparently.
So apart from going out and shooting one myself to try, where can i get one? Any ideas?

I wouldn't bother, they are inconsiderate lovers.

I believe they are on sale at some markets, Salisbury being one.

Vermin that tastes great! What's not to love! Kill it and grill it....

I won't eat anything that's not raw and endangered.

Woodpigeon, mmmmmmmmm.

Rabbit pie, delicious.
Difficult for me to eat now though as had a pet rabbit a couple of years ago - Dylan, RIP.

Did think about serving him up for tea, but not sure what he died of!

I had squirrel crisps once then was sick all night. Mind you I was staying in Hebden Bridge at the time so it could have been that.
