Fry 6 strips of bacon in a large cast-iron skillet at the end of a shift of parboiling 4 young grey squirrels until fork-tender.

Remove the bacon, leave the grease on “warm”.

De-bone the nut monkeys.

Chop the rat and mix it with some House Autry Seafood Breader, a beaten egg and enough water so you can make patties.

Put chopped onion, celery and bell peppers in the mix, stir, and make patties.

Turn the grease up to med-hi and fry 7 minutes a side or ‘til they’re as brown as you want ‘em.

We serve it with sweet cornbread, fried okra and turnip greens.
