I only harvest squirrel or rabbit in cold weather it cuts down on bacteria. When cleaning always inspect thoroughly, especially check for worms and white spots on liver & spleen to make sure it doesn’t have Tularemia

Since I haven't tried the furry rat you are correct I should try it before I make judgements. Chicken of the trees? I think I would try it if called out and triple dog dared but I wouldn't go looking for it. What kind of wine goes with Squirrel?

MD 20/20...Boones Farm and similar. Nothing but the finest vintages for that meal!

That is why it is handy if the kids have lots and don't even notice a few missing at dinner time.

Guinea pigs work better and is how they became domesticated in the Andes and literally live underfoot as secure members of the household until dinner!
Heaven on a Stick!

From Pets To Plates: Why More People Are Eating Guinea Pigs

Guinea pigs are popular pets in the U.S., but in parts of South America, they're a delicacy. Some environmental and humanitarian groups are making a real push to encourage guinea pig farming as an eco-friendly alternative to beef. And the animals are also showing up in more U.S. restaurants.

A long time ago, in a land far, far away, my girlfriend invited me home to meet her family, who were Italian/Australian and had a market garden. After a delicious meal of pasta and meat with which I was not familiar, she asked me to come and check out the garden and animals. There were lots of veggies, a couple of goats, chickens, but no guinea pigs. So she asked Nonna where the guinea pigs were. Nonna replied with her strong accent, "Never you minda!"

They were delicious!
