More proof western KY isn't the south
Fried squirrel. Fuzzy tail things that run around in trees while tasting like chicken...
If you don't know gravy from fry oil I can't help you.
Hoecake is kinda like biscuit if made with wheat flour. 1 part fat/oil, 2 parts liquid, 4 parts flour/meal. Crisco:self-rising:buttermilk is hard to beat. A warm, well greased cast iron pan is best. Bake 25 minutes at 425. Write this down.
Mayhaw jelly is made from mayhaw fruit. It tastes awful. We like to trick yankees into trying it, is the only reason we still make it. (yw)

I never thought it would be possible to be culinarily turned off by one of your posts, but you lost me at brains

I've been told the brains are good as well.
Several years ago they began linking eating squirrel brain with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

That's correct; tongue, jaw muscles and brains, a real delicacy. I disagree with you though on the part about squirrel tasting like chicken; it tastes like squirrel. Cooked to tender in a pressure cooker then breaded and fried. Makes the best gravy you ever ate. For the above reason I no longer eat the heads.

Okay, now that I know what we are talking about, I'm intrigued. I tried it once, just deep fried. Nothing to write home about. But it looks like with a bit more effort, they are quite good to eat.
So, will any squirrel make do? The ones I see here in montana are a quite a bit smaller than the ones I'd see in New England.

I like tongue and cheek, they're delicious. I'm not going anywhere near brains.
