Squirrel Pie.


Sat round a table in Babelas last week enjoying a pint of Dorothy Perkins when old pals Doug and Richard came in offering anyone who was interested, Squirrel Pie! Doug had bagged a few in his garden and he and Richard had skinned the blighter's guided by a Youtube film. Doug cooked two in a pressure cooker and added home grown potatoes, carrots and onions to make a few pies. I ate one in the bar, cold, but brought a second home to re heat the following night. It was superb! A delicate flavour, not like any other meat. being vegetarians squirrels have a pretty good diet, nuts, berries etc. This could be the way forward. I’ll definitely have it again, maybe done with shallots and garlic. Yum yum.

We've got a load of bloody squirrels busily munching their way through the Combo roof. Now you're got me thinking.....

Keep the bushy tails. Strapped to a six foot bamboo cane they should make brilliant dusters for those inaccessible corners.

Pie looks great, gonna have to try that. To date Diplo squirrels have all ended up in squirel bugers with the packaging being used to make hats.

Oh, those damned squirrel buggers....!!!
I think this opens up a lot of possibilities: anyone tried beaver recently?

Ron Combo said...
