Grandparent bragging

No fried squirrel for you, huh? My grandmother used to fry up a big platter of squirrel, including the heads. While I enjoyed the rest of the squirrel, I never could get past those orange teeth or cracking open the skull to eat the brains.

if you are hungry enough or a zombie you will always eat the brains. there's a lot of fat in there... i hear... *wiggle* *slosh slosh* *wiggle*

I've never been that hungry that squirrel brains looked tasty. LOL

i've never had cooked squirrel in any form to know, i probably would not eat the brains either. however, in the SS mindset, brains are useful for tanning hides among other things.

How on earth did I miss this one? My relationship with grandparents was not very exciting.

Today was a successful hunt for Grandson #1 ( 13 already! )

So is that what's for dinner?

Our squirrels do not look big like that.

@Carol Dee, congratulate that young man for me if you would. That look of confidence on his face says a lot.

i’ve not had squirrel since we moved to Alaska yet i can still somehow smell that unmistakably pleasant aroma.

Squirrels have a smell?

Squirrels have a smell?

unless their Momma steals their nose i think they would.

more seriously, i can't say i've had it so don't know, but many foods do have their own smells.

Fried squirrel! And gravy and mashed taters! LOL
