Is there a campaign to encourage eating squirrels? If so I’d like to join. It seems a thoroughly sensible thing to do, seeing as we’re overrun with the buggers, and I suspect they’d be rather tasty, probably wrapped in bacon with a bit of chestnut stuffing.

When can I get squirrel at the local butcher’s, that’s what I want to know.

I guess maybe I can can go and shoot my own, but I don’t really fancy skinning one and ending up with squirrel fur and blood all over the kitchen when there are perfectly good machines to do it. Come on someone, let’s round some up and get them in the shops.
