This squirrel message is for you Eichornchen

[Commander Wallace]

A family found an injured 4 week old squirrel and nursed it back to health and raised it. It loves to wear hats. It also loves to come to the door and tease the dog on the other side. :)

This really is for animal lovers, especially of those like squirrels that are a bit unusual with regards to being slightly domesticated. I hope you and everyone else enjoys it Eichornchen. :)

Having squirrels close by your door has its practical value, especially on cold, rainy days.

Meals on paws, so to speak. :D

Daylight robbery: grey squirrels stealing millions of pounds of bird seed a yearhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/10/daylight-robbery-grey-squirrels-stealing-millions-of-pounds-of-bird-seed-a-year

Lazy sods.

[Skybird]

I like the European red quirrels better anyway. They are tinier, cuter, prettier. Unfortunately the grey invaders are bigger, and more aggressively spreading, putting the Reds under enormous, threatening pressure.

^ Thats possibly the squirrel that suddenly jumped off my BBQ recently.

[Catfish]

^ Other than north american barbarians we do not eat squirrels, regardless which colour. We do not eat cats and dogs either, or bats.
Maybe you should emigrate to, say, China? :O:

Hm, after Brexit the UK probably counts as a Northamerican offshore province anyway:

At the Jugged Hare, a stylish gastropub in London's Barbican which has a reputation for serving excellent game dishes, they are one of the most popular items. “They sell extremely well,” says head chef Stephen Engelfield. “They can be a bit tricky to get hold of, but we buy all we can get, and can easily sell 40 or 50 portions a week. I have people coming for dinner this week who have already reserved them.”
Actually I already had Squirrel, cold, roasted, in pieces as fingerfood, for dipping in two sauces. I was served it - by a British guy. Reminded indeed of rabbit, but was more juicy (as far as I could say considering that it was cold fingerfood), and even milder than rabbit.

Know one Anglosaxon, know every Anglosaxon. They all are squirrel-eating barbars, no matter on which side of the Atlantic! :D

I kill for lamb in an English peppermint sauce. English cuisine has a suspicious reputation - but this recipe for example is brilliant. But I never was able to copy that sauce. Its - tricky.

Nutria (from Holland) I tasted once, it was not bad either. And non, Nutria and bisam rats are two different species - many people believe them to be the same, but they are not. Nutria is far more juicy than rabbit.

If there is any road away from eating meat and become a vegetarian, it starts here.

Is there any puke 'emoji' ? :hmmm:

How can such an nice thread from Commander Wallace deteriorate so badly :wah:

[Skybird]

I take it you don't like beaver then (Nutria is a beaver species)? :smug:

It was available in the GDR as well. And no, in no way Nutria is a desperate measure in cuisine. Its good meat, tastes well.

There is plenty of stuff in Asia, however, that I would eat only in emergency. Starts with vietnamese (I think) young chicken put and cooked in cola cans, leads over worms and insects, and ends with - Sushi. :) And then all the fat and sweet stuff in the Middle East. And mutton - it stinks to heaven. Unfortunately I was targetted by that smell repeatedly. Can smell it two miles against the wind. :doh:

Happiness lies in Italian, Europeanised Chinese and some simple German dishes.

And in very good olive oil and very good Aceto Balsamico, fresh Ciabatta, some aromatic cherry tomatoes and some pieces of marinaded feta, and a glass of nice red wine. More you do not need. Life can be so simply. [Skybird sneaking out and away into the kichen...] Or simple peeled potatoes with butter and salt, with some herring filet in dill cream - poor man's dish in the past, for me a delicatesse. [Skybird still not coming back] Spaghetti in olive oil, with Parmesan, garlic, parsley, black pepper. [Where is he...?] Crispy roasted thin slices of beef or chicken meat in a sauce of Ketjap Manis with Sherry, chilli, hacked onion, honey and sweet Sharwood Curry powder. [Skybird...??]

Simplicity can be all. ;)

Tell the small boy in the first picture what to do with a squirrel - then you have a detoriated thread! :haha:

It's alright Catfish. It could have been far worse. Now this would be really bad. Cain from alien with an odd twist ? :haha:

I think you mean mint sauce yes?

Noooooooo! don't start an argument with Skybird if he says its peppermint it's peppermint. He's likely to come back now with a litany of botanical scientific reasons and lecture to us for days how mint and peppermint are the same thing. :O: :D :03:

Thanks, but the sauce I got was different. Creamy, bright, almost white. In consistency a bit like something you would get on Jägerschnitzel, just not with mushrooms, but with fresh mint leaves, and a different colour and taste.

Well.

Maybe not like Jägerschnitzel at all. :haha:
