This is a great way to get the little ones to add to the dinner table. Take a kid squirrel hunting today. They'll love contributing to supper, and here's how to cook it so everyone will love it.

We've never done squirrel and dumplings before. May have to give that a shot. If the kids will let us make it any way but fried.Originally posted by Dkincaid View PostComment

Just saw this at 6:30 in the morning and now I'm hungry for some squirrel!
And I second the squirrel and dumplins.
I also keep up with your wifes recipes. A lot of good stuff.

Thanks! She was pretty nervous about sharing a squirrel recipe, what with all the squirrel haters in the world, but the feedback has been pretty good. She has another squirrel recipe coming in the next week or so.Originally posted by Goldeneagle View PostJust saw this at 6:30 in the morning and now I'm hungry for some squirrel!

I heard its good to boil them a little while before frying them toake them tender? Anyone do this? My fil fried some up and was so excited till he took a bite. Said it was like chewing on boot leather. Tossed it all!Comment

Never heard of boiling, and never needed to. But the back legs are definitely more tender than the front, and the backstraps were great. I think age and condition will play a big part, too.Originally posted by Dirtymike View PostComment

for frying,Originally posted by Dirtymike View Post
if you got some of the big ol' fox/red squirrels it helps a lot,
smaller cat squirrels dont need it.Comment

There's a lot of things you can make with squirrel meat. I've made tacos, tamales, pulled BBQ samiches, soup...... all kinds of stuff.Originally posted by Coach View Post
