Lets eat squirrel, though only Greys please

BBC’s Countryfile program yesterday included an item on saving our native Red Squirrel from being displaced by the introduced Grey Squirrel.

What more sensible way to rid the country of Grey Squirrels than to eat them. I can’t say I’ve ever eaten squirrel, although I have eaten cat. Here’s how popular it’s become to eat squirrel,

• Guardian: Squirrel meat flies off the shelves of a Budgens store
• Daily Telegraph: First catch your squirrel
• Daily Mail: Squirrel pie enjoying a revival

All I’ve got to do now is find a local restaurant that serves squirrel pie, and when I do I’ll let you know.
