Maybe you should emigrate to, say, China?  |
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!
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.
