Ok … there has to be a limit … hog head already has meanings

We make hog head cheese every time we butcher a pig. We also have what is called a boucherie.Ok … there has to be a limit … hog head already has meanings
In May every year we have a Cochon de Lait festival right up the road in Mansura, La.
A boucherie (which translates to butchery) is a Cajun tradition borne of the time before refrigeration when killing a hog meant you needed a crowd to feed it to. It's an event unique to South Louisiana. ... During a boucherie, the point is to eat the whole **** pig that day.

So exactly how are the squirrels obtained? I'm not a hunter but I've talked to someone who hunted squirrels with .22LR. He said that anything more powerful than that might obliterate the squirrel, and that with typical lead ammo that the area around the bullet has to be carved out.
Not sure if larger animals are still hunted with hollow-point lead ammo. Certainly for that, I'm sure that there's going to be a lot more meat where the area around the bullet can be dressed.

Squirrels are just like rats. Who would eat that?
The mix of French and English, all time too?
In the video I had the feeling the guy was normally mostly speaking French but translating just for the video, but maybe I'm wrong.
In Quebec too they mix English and French all the time, often without assuming...hiding the English by litteral translations

When my aunts and uncles were younger all they spoke was French. If they spoke it in school the Nuns would rap their palms or knuckles with a ruler or a wooden pointer. They learned to speak English in school.
I think this is like playing with fire these days, after what we've just been through.
I hear there's a good recipe on the internet for Far East dog stew. No thanks.

We have been eating like this for decades, centuries. I'm still alive typing this. My grandparents lived to 94 and 96.
There is no fire playing here.
I think I heard that same story somewhere else.
To be fair, you are what you eat and squirrels have a pretty healthy diet. They are not scavengers like rats. Even if it weren't for the risk of catching a prion disease, eating such a small critter seems a tedious task. I don't even like eating quail because they are so small. Pauvre ti bête. Nyam nyam nyam.

Chevy's used to have quail. Maybe a couple of them, although it wasn't that easy picking off the meat. I'm pretty sure they were farmed and not wild.

Right. Or give up chicken and pork … not much those won’t eat …
After moving to South Texas, I learned that a number of people hunt for Pigeon and eat them wrapped in jalapeno and bacon.
I went on a couple Pigeon hunts, not really my thing but it is what they do.
Never heard of squirrel being eaten and sought after, but I learn something new every day.
I'll stick to the prime meats at my HEB.
Bon apatite.

Since you too are in the Bay Area you may have heard this story before. A few decades ago, Cambodian immigrants began bow-and-arrow hunting squirrels in Golden Gate Park for food. They also killed one of the bisons in the paddock and butchered it right on the spot. I'm sure it still didn't taste like it did at home, though.
