This squirrel message is for you Eichornchen

Commander Wallace · 05-09-18, 03:38 PM

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.

For the full story with pictures.

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

Meals on paws, so to speak.

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.

Red squirrels are pussies

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

^ 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?

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.
