Oh yeah, i didnt even really think of that. I can definitely see if you were going to starve and/or didnt have much money, during the depression, etc. But that somebody just said about boiling them up for the grandma to munch on,that grosses me out LOL i agree, I'd toss it to the animals or donate it before I'd eat it. Maybe toss it in a soup or broth. But would never just munch it. Also i just realized, the scales and texture would probably gross me out too.

They do sell pig feet at our grocery store and i accidentally stumbled upon it when i was looking for meat and organs for the dog and almost threw up LOL okay, i wasnt physically close to throwing up but i wanted to.

Smoked pigs feet make great bean soup

Hmm, yeah, i don't think I'd be hungry enough to try either.

Oh come on....

Yes, the Asian and Island people do like chicken feet cooked in several different ways, My own Grandma not only liked her chicken feet, she was very fond of squirrel skull with the brain and eye's still inside, there had to be at least 3 skulls before she would share with anybody.
BTW, I did grow up on a farm that raised or hunted it's table meat, most everything was fair game back then.

Edit to add, Grandma drew the line at snake, any kind of snake would get you ran out of the house. She had a mean broom arm, it hurt when she hit you.

I'd eat snake.....but i ainy eating no squirrel brains.

Ewwwww squirrel skull!?!?! Although its kinda funny she wouldn't eat snake as it seems thats more common? And i would eat snake before i ate squirrel skull with brains and eyes...

And that reminds me, our old dog used to catch and eat squirrels.

My cat still does....and eats em

I spent a year in Thailand back in the early 70's, courtesy of the U.S. Air Force. I was lucky enough to meet up with a local who liked to travel and show off his country to/with 'Mercains as he said it. He taught me to just try what ever he would order in a food stall, if I did like it he would teach me how to order/say it again, if I didn't like it he would tell me what it was so I didn't try it again. Yes, I have ate monkey ball soup, it's not to bad with a bit of hot sweet sauce.

Squirrel is one of my favorite meats, right up there with rabbit, I strongly encourage you to try it someday. But yeah, no squirrel head for me either.
I do remember grandma talking about head cheese and blood pudding though...never tried it.

No head cheeses.....i draw the line at brains and eyeballs

The meat I would possibly be willing to try but definitely not the head. And that sounds interesting but also somewhat gross.

And question though, probably stupid, how do you know if the squirrel has rabies or is otherwise sick?

I'm vaccinated....

Sick animals act sick, look sick. Healthy animals see you and run, sick ones, especially ones with rabies attack.

But if they're dead......they act dead

Thanks BertS,
Good coffee starts the day nicely,
Sir Sour, I hope that all is well and you have a good time.
Margie is all ok with you and yours? I heard that some campers left a campfire going after they left the area?
Good Morning all!
Scott

 

[Bunnylady]

Wow, lotsa stuff happening with lotsa folks . . . .

Margie, I hope y'all stay safe; wildfires are scary stuff.

Woke to thunderstorms this morning, and cloud cover so deep, it hardly looks like morning out there.

Did someone say coffee? I think I'm gonna need about a gallon to get my eyes open
