these squirrel meat recipes come from a late 1940s cookbook belonging to my mother [though she hasn't tried these on us!]. squirrels aside it's actually a very good and comprehensive guide to traditional british cuisine before foreign influences started to come in post-war [elizabeth david, terence conran etc]. george orwell and his wife get an acknowledgement alongside Department of Food and Eating for Victory bods [all very 1984/1948].
as we enter a new age of austerity maybe we can learn from the last. squirrels are plentiful and have no food miles.
There is a stall at the local farmers market that occasionally sells squirrel if you're inclined to try any of the recipes.
