Seriously, folks, does anyone have a decent recipe for squirrel stew?  The
one and only time I ate squirrel stew, it was awful.  Two spoonsful were all
I could get down.  It was at an Indian Stomp Dance (Chickasaw tribe) in
Ardmore, OK, where the Indians prepared a large cast iron cauldron of the
stew for everyone to sample--along with pashofa (a corn meal gruel) and
grape dumplings (which were outstanding).  The stew was greasy, gamy and
tough.  Given the access to squirrel I have, an edible stew or even roasted
squirrel recipes would be a way to turn the tree rats into something
positive.  And, the recipes would make a great addition to a NAFEX Road
and/or Tree Kill Cookbook.  I'll volunteer to put a book together, if you
all will contribute recipes.
