For lunch, peanut butter & banana on grilled rye.

Just pulled another big batch of andouille off the smoker. Not sure what to do with it all. I still have lots left from the last batch (just traded some of it to my neighbor for charcoal, which I ran out of).

Spaghetti squash (with browned sage butter, parmesan, and taragon) and chicken. It's the first time I ever made spaghetti squash. Not the last!

God does the site of that bring back memories. ...growing up mom halved it baked it and we ate it from its skin a natural bowl with butter

Say whaaaat? Is this super good....i would guess mushroom sauce might need 3 not 2 tbl spoons of butter? So many options with this

Those are some beautiful sausages! That spaghetti squash looks quite tasty too! Hmmm, how to use excess andouille? How about using it to put a spin on cassoulet? Just the thing for a chilly day; well maybe not so chilly in FL, but still tasty. Might be great on pizza too.
Well done Passed!
Regards, GF.

We called that tomato gravy " dressed tomatoes" when I was growing up. Great over biscuits with soft-fried eggs & taters! Especially in WV with fresh-churned buttermilk & pasture butter! :rockin:

Looks good, love spaghetti squash.

Try this here, see if you like it,





squirrel food

I don't like that squirrel is in the name, but contains no treerat. Good eating, those guys. I got a little excited for a new squirrel recipe haha.

 

[odorf]

oh, hell,

 

[Psylocide]

oh, hell,

Haha, my favorite way is just pan fried with pan gravy over biscuits.

If I have a whole mess of them, I'll brine and grill, chop up and toss in buffalo sauce. Squirrel wings.

 

[odorf]

me also, i dont use a recipe, coat it in flour, fry, make gravy, biscuits eat

pretty simple

 

[paulthenurse]

Pancetta, garlic, chopped parsley, hot pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese and some olive oil with fettuccine. Mmmmmmmmmmm

That book claims Squirrel has a more delicate flavor than rabbit, which I find completely opposite from my own experience. We ate both very often as a kid and besides being harder to dress, squirrel is a bit chewier and has a gamier flavor. But it may be due to the acorn diet our squirrels were used to.

I agree... Cottontail is a fairly delicate meat, wouldn't put it in the same wheelhouse as squirrel. Squirrel to me has always tasted like thick, chewy, gamey pork almost.

 

[odorf]

been my experience
tree rat if prepped correctly when cleaned has very little gamey taste

To prep, clean well, remove glands (especially the ones in the armpits) and soak in salted water in the fridge for a few days to get any blood out. (The glands are where the gamey taste comes from.)After that you can substitute them for chicken in most chicken recipes. Young ones can go straight to the frying pan, old ones will need to be boiled or pressure cooked first.


edited...

Take out the gland in the "armpit" of the squirrel next time and you'll have a piece of meat that's 90% less "gamey". It looks like a grain of rice and is between the front leg and the ribs. Remove it before the cook gets the take of the day and you may have a new outlook on squirrels as table fare.


Squirrel pot pie is one way to use the older, tougher ones. Boil them, pick the meat off the bones, then stir the meat into a pie filling made of 2 cans of Veg-All (mixed veggies), some Pioneer chicken gravy or Cream of Chicken soup, and spices (your choice). Pour this mixture into the pie shell (I use the pre-made pie shells from the refrigerated biscuit section) then put the top crust on and bake at 350 until golden. This recipe takes 6-8 gray squirrels to make and is really easy.

Squirrel is just as good as rabbit and chicken, when cleaned and cooked properly.

There was a medieval recipe for dormouse of all things involving a marinade in cowsmilk and cinnamon, which apparently made for a delightfully tender and delicious stew...

Would this work on squirrel?

 

[slym2none]

The only time I've had squirrel is in burgoo.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Ive had it breaded and fried like fried chicken... I would say it was... nourishing.

I would LOVE to try squirrel, particularly the little fox squirrel buggers that love to play "chicken" with me when I drive down our road.

Tonight we had surf perch, which we caught last year, froze and vacuum-sealed. Also jalapeno/cheese hush puppies and coleslaw with pineapple tidbits and cilantro. Of course I forgot to take pictures, so while it never happened, it sure tasted good!

Actually KOTC had the fish, I'm not a big fan of small fish with bones, so I had corn dogs in place of the fish.

Did you save the bones and heads for fishstock and future fish soup?! :-D

 

[slym2none]

I wish I had a squirrel to fry up... tonight, I had a prison meal. Bread & water.

We've got fox squirrels down here, but they are definately bigger than your average squirrel, and they walk differently, like with swagger. The golf course next to me has a bunch of them.
