Eating Squirrels

Make a gravy baw

Why would it be bad?

My great grandfather loved the brains.

Hardly worth doing with one.......but if its old, throw it in the pressure cooker for 8 minutes boil time, if its young, 3-4 minutes with some seasoning.

Take it out, dip it in seasoned flour and panfry crisp. Thank me later.

If you really want to show out....brine it about 24 hours.

Put it on the BBQ at 450 for about an hour. Rotate every 20 minutes. Should kill off all potential threats

They can taste funny if they've been eating a lot of fish

We've always just smothered them down with onions and bell peppers. Eat on side of some white beans and rice. Mmm Mm Mm...

My dad isaid 51 and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Dementia at 49 and leading up the diagnosis we were asked if he atever squirrel brains as a kid or an adult because it can lead to CJD I think the initials are (mad cow disease).

There was a time when the eating squirrels from a large neighborhoods was not recommended because the squirrels would have lead ingestion from Plumbing roof jacks. Those roof jacks are gone away from lead and are now made of rubber and neoprene so that warning no longer exists.



However there is a large amount of information now indicating that eating squirrel brains has a direct link to a degenerative brain disorder that causes Lewy Body type dementia.

Eat the squirrels avoid the brains
