Man I could eat a plate of my Grandmother's squirrel potpie. Anyone else ever partake of this dish?

I haven't. Weird, all the snakes and cats and rats and birds and stuff, but no squirrel. Sounds good though.
Never had it as a potpie, but fried with biscuits and cream gravy is good for breakfast.
Never cared for squirrel with dumplings, or as a stew. Used to really love my grandmother's fried squirrel though! The same preparation as souuthern fried chicken, but totally different taste (excellent).
That is till I had two fox (red) squirrels as pets for several years. Both female, great entertainment. Grew so attached that now eating squirrel would be much like some of you guys eating your cat!

Roadkill.
Seriously, you shoot them with a .22, air rifle, or small shotgun.
I shot mine with a Remington 541-S with a 12X Leupold scope and RWS target ammo. Of course, head shots only.
They really dont eat Possumns in the South do they? Iam originally from up North, I thought that was a rumor, you can smell a possumn before you see them and it aint a pleasant smell.
Odd,,,
I've shot them, run over them with cars, tractors,,,maybe even a lawnmower, beat them to death (in the cat food and no gun handy), laid a stick across their neck and pulled their back legs 'till I broke their neck(cruel prig). NEVER smelled a 'possum! NEVER ate one either!!!
Them black and white striped critters are skunk!
Got bloody possums in our car port. Illegal to do anything to 'em. Napthalene spread around now, that should p1ss em off!
Heh. I have never heard of anyone round here eating one of those nasty varmints. They tell me that the meat is really greasy

My great-grandpa ate possum. There was a lot of grease in the top of that 'ol pot when it was done. I've never eaten it though. He also ate raccoon.
In my 1960 Larousse Gastronomique, cooking a raccoon or possum involves first boiling the son of a gun in vinegar after cleaning and skinning, before any other cooking method begins.
Oh, I forgot to say that I've eaten quite a few squirrels after hunting them in the late afternoon right before supper. My grandma would FRY them but wouldn't eat it b/c they looked too much like a rat. My mom wouldn't even allow us to fry them in her skillet. She would have to throw the pan out. Nah, she would have probably just thrown us out first. Now, my wife would just as soon shoot me as me to shoot a squirrel since they are so cute to her. They are pretty neat.
Nobody I ever knew ate a possum, and I lived in the south until about 7 years ago.
I can smell a possum long before I see it. They smell the same alive as they do when they're dead.
Didn't care for my Aunt's fried squirrel much, but her pecan pies were worth fighting over.
