C'est un de mes parents qui prepare un bon ragout d'ecureuil.
C'est Si Bon!

Come to my house, there’s a few dozen you can have!

Thanks for sharing!! Very enjoyable video for a Saturday morning.

Did not know about washing the rice....

It’s good … sausage gumbo is good … but very partial to crawfish étouffée

My perfect S La meal:

1) Dozen half shell
2) Bugs for the table
3) seafood gumbo
4) crawfish étouffée

That is not to say next night I can’t switch to various forms of shrimp … just ask Bubba

Interesting accent. I should learn about Cajun.

Yumm! Do squirrels taste like chicken? Everything else does.

Free range organic wild squirrels... just avoid the ones near cities and industrial parks

.... crawfish étouffée

Ah yes, strangled crawfish.

When I saw the thread title I thought someone had just discovered the reaction feature. My second thought was that squirrels could potentially be carriers of prion diseases. While infection occurs rarely I don't want to take a chance with catching lethal Mad Squirrel Disease.

It's actually a dark meat with a little bit of a gamey taste. So, yes, it tastes like dark meat chicken, in a way.

Some do, some don't. I never have washed my rice.

My lady friend is coming over later with dessert. A pineapple upside down cake. I'm boiling about 3-4 lbs. of shrimp for supper.

Dat's how we talk here.

 

[Creekside]

Looks good

Ah yes, strangled crawfish.

HaHa … suffocated or smothered for those that had this pass over your head

 

[BlueOvalFitter]

Looks good

It's very delicious.
Uncle Calvin has a mouth watering turtle sauce piquante recipe!

There was a little place near Abbeville that sold it frozen … just make your own rice … forget the name

This would be a last resort. Stew, if boneless! would at least look more palatable. What is this anyway? Southern fair food? And don't you just know that some shrewd vendor is going to secretly substitute squirrel with some similarly sized rodent?

When my dad cooks squirrel gumbo or jambalaya, he adds the heads. They're like eating crawfish, you break the head from the body and suck out the goodness inside. C'est Si Bon!
