You're typical tree squirrel pretty much tastes like rabbit. I'm sure they're crawling all over your area, but you'd have to throw 3-4 in a pot to get a good meal out of them.

Are you using lamb or beef? It doesn't matter, throw in a couple bay leaves. I don't use recipes very much so it all comes out of my brain(such as it is)

Needless to say, the carcass made out of spam with a stick over the fire, we were not amused. OPP jails are not were I need or want to spend our vacation. Anybody want to adopt some practical jokers.
Jo Canadian, squirrel is outta the rodent family!

Almost got kicked out of the Pinery Provincial Park while visiting some Northern Relatives! There were literally thousand of chipmunks all over the place and one of the kids had smuggled in a 50 Lbs sack of Peanuts so her and her cousins could feed the Chipmunks. (Peanuts are dirt cheap in the Southern US) chipmunks go crazy with Peanuts and when one of the Park Wardens saw the excitement at our campsite her curiosity got the best of her. Mind you, she wasn't upset about us feeding the critters but when the oldest piped up about let's find a fat one for a Sauce Piquante, Daddy, I got a lecture about Ontario Wildlife all the while my Cousins from Toronto were laughing or I should say honking since "Marie" (Changed to protect the Guilty) honks like a goose when she laughs! The rum and coke did not help matters any! They actually though the Yanks might eat one for the hell of it! Quoting

Spread a layer of UNSALTED soda crackers on the bottom of a baking pann, cover with layer of custard, layer of crackers...so on and so on. cover and refriderate
When serving, top with fresh fruit of your choice...strawberries and Kiwi are really good...so are canned mandarin oranges and Saskatoon berries
Shovel into your face and enjoy

First we butter both sides of a piece of bread,then cut a medium hole in the center. then,place bread into a hot frying pan & put some more butter into the hole. Crack open one egg into that hole and cook until that side is browned ,then reverse the bread. When done,you will have what my family has known as a "Charley Special'[after my Dad]

This is a recipe from Cumberland in England; for the Cumberland CA variation, you should use bear meat, rather than beef. :P

No Pea. Sauces are to enhance the flavour. Like gravey. Taking all the fat and blood from the roast to make a delicious sauce. It's spices that are used to cover up the taste of spoiled meat.
Truely. Just ask any pirate.....
