i ran over a squirrel today

[Hooahguy]

i feel awful for it. :embarassed:

then i was standing in line at the store and the little girl behind me with her mom in line started talking about how cute squirrels were, i could barely stand it. :shame:

but in my defense it was running over the squirrel or slamming into an 18-wheeler. :sweatdrop:
:help:

[Peasant Phill]

At least it wasn't a kitten.

How could you?

[A Nerd]

At least it was quick and painless. Look at it this way, perhaps the squirrel can reincarnate as a higher life form?

[Hooahguy]

oh god, what if it comes back as a person then it kills me?

This is the most likely scenario.

Squirrels are just furry tailed rats. Don't think too much about it.

And to all the Brits, chances are it was a gray squirrel, not a red. Destructive rodents, that's all they are.

If you meet this one better take your chances with the 18 wheeler.:sweatdrop:

Squirrel Sauce Piquante

2 Squirrels
1/2 c Bell pepper, chopped
1 cn Tomato sauce (8 oz.)
Cooking oil
3 Med. onions, chopped
1 tb Flour
Water
Black & red pepper, salt


Rub squirrels with salt, black and red pepper. Put oil in heavy iron pot 1/4" deep. Brown squirrels on all sides and remove from pot. Lower fire to med. heat and saute onions, bell peepper and flour in remaining oil until brown. Place squirrels back in pot, add enough water to cover meat. Add tomato sauce. Cover and simmer on low fire 1 1/2 to 2 hrs., or until tender.

Most squirrels are nasty. They're not much better than rats, but for some reason they look cute.

[A Nerd]

Squirrels also have a pronouced, unpleasant odor. There were some living in my fathers chimney and they were removed. The smell was terrible. If anyone has ever gotten a good smell of a ferret, the scent is similar, just alittle stronger.

Merlot, or Chianti?

[Louis VI the Fat]

Merlot, or Chianti?That's a good question. Normally I'd say a Chianti is Italian pi...erm, might drown the subtle taste of squirrel. Like rabbit, the taste is easily overpowered. But since we are preparing the squirrel spicey - much of it's soft texture having been lost by running it over, so a more robust preparation is in order - a stronger wine might not be inappropriate. Worth a try!

[A Nerd]

Squirrel would probably go better with moon shine!! Squirrel is a dish best served cold!!! :)

[Centurion1]

squirrel is best in a stew........ yum (yes it is actually somewhat good if you prepare it right). rabbit is better however.

Maybe a zinfandel?

And there I was thinking “Lucky, lucky you: where I live we don't even *have* squirrels”.

Same here. Where I am, we have these little creatures called "prairie dogs (http://www.gonomad.com/destinations/0810/grasslands-images/prairie-dog.jpg)."

[Centurion1]

^ now those are dangerous rodents. Collapse buildings

Lol last time I went to montana to hunt and fish we used highpowered rifle on the varmits it was quick at least.

Seriously tho they are very dangerous to infrastructure in some areas a huge problem

Dats how we roll in mah hood, dawg!

I had Rabbit before, it tasted like greasy chicken.

A nice full bodied red would be my choice. A bergundy perhaps. Or you could eschew convention all together and plump for a nice dry white. If so, a sautern would be acceptable.

Just stick a spike through them, shave off the fur, and put on a barbeque for ten minutes. Then nibble of the tender parts. Great with any spicey sauce.

One is allowed to snap off the legs and fingerfood them, like chicken wings.

I eat rabbit probably once a month or so, nothing special about that.

Hooahguy, you can always claim it was in self-defense.
They're organised now and out to kill. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/4489792.stm)

Or put a stick up its bottom and use it as a dish mop.

Gotcha (good point) - MD2020 makes picking out the bits of asphalt a fun occupation, instead of a drudgery chore.

Good riddance. The things are lousy vermin and they have an annoyingly large population. Run down another if you get the chance.

Bah. Real men shoot 'em down with baseballs.
