 |
|
Was looking for something different to cook this evening.
This recipe is in the Cowboy Hall of Fame cookbook.
Serious.
Guess I'll need to hang out in the backyard with a .22 for a while first, I need 3 of the little *beeps*
3 squirrels
1 gal cold water
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 large onions, sliced
2 cups fresh okra, sliced
3 cups tomatoes, peeled
2 cups fresh lima beans
2 cups fresh carrots
5 potatoes, diced
4 cups fresh corn
Bring water to boil. Slowly add pieces of squirrel with bone left in. Be careful not to boil rapidly at any time. Add salt and pepper. Add all vegetables and cook slowly for 4 hours. Add 3 ounces butter just before serving. Yield: 6 servings. |

| It's not really squirrel stew unless you have dumplings with it. |

This is also called "Brunswick Stew." Although now it's mostly made with chicken, the squirrel version is actually pretty damned good.  |

.22? Come on, make it a little more sporting--in Texas we use pellot guns (Benjamin pump preferably) or, wrist-rocket sling shots. Turtle soup and rabbit is good this time of year also, add a little fried rattlesnake and some calf fries (bull *beep*) and you've got yourself a mighty fine supper. |

From a Googled squirrel stew recipe, these directions are helpful:

| This recipe can be adjusted to feed as many as you wish. Just add more squirrels. |

Mom sent me up in the attic a couple of winters ago to check out the odd noises.
It was a veritable sea o'squirrels!
Definitely stew them a long time.. We once tried to sautee them.
Tough as boot soles. |

Hunting Without A Weapon
An 80-year-old man went to his doctor for his
quarterly check-up. The doctor asked him how he was
feeling and the 80-year-old said "Things are great and
I've never felt better. I now have a 20 year-old bride
who is pregnant with my child. So what do you think
about that?"
The doctor considered his question for a minute and
then began.
"I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid
hunter and never misses a season. One day when he was
setting off hunting, he was in a bit of a hurry and
accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun.
As he neared a lake he came across a very large male
beaver sitting at the water's edge. He realised he'd
left his gun at home and so couldn't shoot the
magnificent creature but out of habit he raised his
cane, aimed it at the animal as if it were his
favourite hunting rifle and went 'bang,bang'.
Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell
over dead.
Now, what do you think of that?" asked the doctor.
The 80-year-old said, "If you ask me, I'd say somebody
else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver."
The doctor replied, "My point exactly."

In Australia it's possum stew (possums, squirrels...not much difference between them).
I just hate having to constantly spit out the shotgun pellets. |

Actually, I was thinking someone would have said something along the terms of, "In Canada, real men don't eat squirrels...we eat beaver."  |
