i ran over a squirrel today

[Hooahguy]

i feel awful for it.

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.

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

[Peasant Phill]

At least it wasn't a kitten.

[Rhyfelwyr]

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?

[Ice]

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.

[Hosakawa Tito]

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

[Hooahguy]

This is the most likely scenario.

well expect me to start packing heat...

I hoped you scraped it off your wheel?

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

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?

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!

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."

[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

[Megas Methuselah]

Dats how we roll in mah hood, dawg!

[Beskar]

I had Rabbit before, it tasted like greasy chicken.

[Cute Wolf]

[Strike For The South]

Squrriel is way to gamey and way to much work for little meat

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.

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