The three bites of squirrel can be served as the main entree after the chipmunk amuse bouche.

It seems our quest and desire for different types of meat never ends.

We're eating the squirrels now.

Humans are lucky there are so many different animal species on the planet, otherwise we'd probably be eating each other.

Not bad really. I've had some pretty decent squirrel stew.

Eddie doesn't eat squirrel anymore since he found out they were high in cholesterol.

Why not eat free-range squirrel? People hunt doves and rabbits and the squirrel seems like a middle ground between the two.

I'm just waiting for the day I see them piled up at the greenmarket for $10/pound like ramps, another once-disdained "hillbilly" food.

Even the plumpest looking squirrel has very little meat on it. Most of what you see is just puffed out fur. You need several to make a meal and even then its not much meat. But if you bag a few the way to cook 'em is to pan fry them like chicken. Just don't eat the brain as consumption has been linked to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Squirrels are just rats with good PR.

Chi-Mex: A New Frontier

On the subject of Taco Bell, one of my very favorite breakfasts is to take yesterday's refrigerated TB bean burrito and cut it into slices to eat cold with strong coffee. This is much better than it sounds!

Authentic =/= good.

Of course, it can be good. Perhaps the statement should be not authentic doesn't mean bad. Food evolves. I was born in New Mexico on the border. I love "real" Mexican food, but I still occasionally get the craving for fabricated Mexican food that Taco Bell serves up.
