Deer are ubiquitous too, and tastier.

Read “King Rat” by James Clavell (spelling?). The prisoners of war caught rats and sold the meat as a delicacy. Rats/squirrels. Small difference.

Many years ago, I had a boyfriend whose arents were from North Carolina. We had ‘Shake and Bake’ squirrel legs many nights. They were yummy.

With a father brought up on the family farm in the hills of southeast Kentucky squirrel pie (more of a cobbler, really) was a regular part of my childhood diet. Very tasty. And the practice of shooting the little critters out of tree tops with a .22 or a .410 shotgun definitely bred good marksmanship.

Just who are these people who do the "squirrel stew" thing? What you do after dressing out the meat is take the pieces, slather them with milk, then roll them in cornmeal and fry them in an iron skillet.
There's nothing finer on this Earth.

My mother grew up in North Carolina, during the depression. I believe they ate quite a few things other than beef, pork, and chicken.
They could not afford to be too picky, and my grandmother was reputed to be a good cook. I am told, though, that she drew the line at 'possum. She would not cook one of those!

They have to marinate themselves with coffee first.

Quite a few of the great marksmen of earlier generations were created by their father giving them a .22 rifle, a bullet, and telling them “if you want to eat meat tonight, hit the squirrel with your only shot”.

Squirrel are classified as game, and game can be eaten without the bothersome labor of raising domestic animals that are usually set aside for household consuption.
Also, harvesting game is fun..

Corn meal goes great with squirrel, much better than flour. Stews should have corn in them too.
