squirrel pie maybe, been looking for an excuse for a while

The Game Larder in Chessington used to do squirrel (amongst other treats). That was a few years back when I lived in them there parts. Wondering if it's still going (and if it still does squirrel).

edit. It is! But it's in Claygate. Its Facebook page is silent on the topic of squirrels.

So long as they haven't added bat to the list of available delicacies we are all safe(ish)...

often thought in getting the the 12 bore Beretta out for the bloomin squirrels here, but don't think there'd be much left to cook and don't really fancy picking out all the lead pellets in what's left either ;)

Squirrels are rats with furry tails
Like pigeon is a rat with wings

i do believe squirrels are classed as vermin, not sure about pigeons though, was and is odd that squirrel pie did appear apparently on some menus a while back, in my younger days might have tried it but not these days, great thread drift to squirrel talk
