^ 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.

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

Is there any puke 'emoji' ?

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.

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.
