Spartacus Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I'm asking for a friend who's still too scared to go to the supermarket to get chicken. Are you allowed to kill and eat our non native greys ? I know St Johns had them on the menu once but the annoying ones in my garden don't look like they will have much meat on them !Is it legal ?Is it safe ?Any sauce or cooking techniques you can recommend ?Can you make a coat out of their pelts after ?

SpringTime Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Is it legal ? YesIs it safe ? YesAny sauce or cooking techniques you can recommend ? Slow cooked otherwise meat is too leathery.Can you make a coat out of their pelts after ? Yes, but unless you are squirrel-size you will need a lot of squirrels. As individuals they do make good Covid-masks. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/260243-barbecuing-squirrel/#findComment-1441787 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effra Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Yes to both questions however be aware that many of them have worms - one of the reason that cats & dogs get worms after eating them.

JohnL Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 If you watch that american series where they live for 100 days in the Arctic - some of them live on squirrels and one licked the raw blood from one he killed whilst a little sign popped up on screen "drinking animal blood could infect you with bacteria that may cause infection" Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/260243-barbecuing-squirrel/#findComment-1442038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKruger Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 In hard times I think any squirrel population eventually become the focus of predation. I certainly know people in the SE USA who back in the day living in the woods would eat squirrel as their main meat.

Spartacus Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Kid I think that the red necks in the USA would eat their own relatives if they were hungry.After all being kin doesn't stop them a marrying (just had a weird image of cousins marrying and grandpa being the wedding breakfast ) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/260243-barbecuing-squirrel/#findComment-1442073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartacus Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 True Foxy But I don't have a problem with a plague of rats trying to dig up my garden to hide their nuts 😂 and a rat fur coat doesn't appeal either !
