The Brits Love Their Squirrel Meat
Via the New York Times article “Saving a Squirrel by Eating One“…
These days, however, in farmers’ markets, butcher shops, village pubs and elegant restaurants, squirrel is selling as fast as gamekeepers and hunters can bring it in.
“Part of the interest is curiosity and novelty,” said Barry Shaw of Shaw Meats, who sells squirrel meat at the Wirral Farmers Market near Liverpool. “It’s a great conversation starter for dinner parties.”
Wow. I guess that explains the Cajun Squirrel flavored potato chips. If you’ve eaten squirrel meat or the chips, please leave us a voicemail for the Blue Shotgun Radio segment at +1 317-565-4250.
