Personally I don't eat squirrel now. Haven't for years. But there is nothing fundamentally wrong with eating squirrel. Just because squirrel is a rodent? So what? Rabbits are rodents too!

The only reason I have a problem with eating wild squirrels around here is that they've been tested positive for a number of viruses. The reason I mentioned rabbit is I can get them "farmed"....or from a friend who traps all sorts of "rodents" up north, where there is less issues of viruses (or so I'm told).
I don't think its strange to eat rodents, many people do. I've had squirrel before, along with allot of stuff that many people would consider verrrrrrrry strange.
I posted the recipe because I found it amusing...and also I had a hard time with the combo of ingredients. But hey....that's just me.
