Doreen,
Though I have never cooked squirrel I will nevertheless give advice on it. I
would think that the flavor of squirrel, like any other meat (yuck!), has to
be
affected by what it eats. When I used to eat meat, I could tell the difference
between corn or grass fed beef, or if deer had been eating acorns or apples
and
even if they were happy or had been frightened and the adrenaline had been
pumping. If you want squirrel to taste good (or better) try feeding them.
Experiment with different types of grain, fruit and seeds. Chances are the
best
tasting squirrels will be eating what you least want to share with them, the
fruits of your labor.
