Grey Squirrel Croquette
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.

The guy who was guest host on Rush today, Eric Erickson, is from Atlanta. He said the first time he went to his future wife's apartment, she was frying 2 pounds of bacon. He asked her why she was going to eat 2 pounds of bacon. She replied, " I don't need the bacon, I need the drippings." He said he was in love with her immediately...

Actually such lean meat usually requires some sort of fat in the cooking process. I'd eat them!

Towards the end of our E&E phase of SERE, we had one last road crossing heading into our final layup point. Providence provided us a still steaming fresh road kill racoon for sustenance that day.
Ummm ummm.

With coon (delicious), you don't need bacon.
Watch out for round worms, though...

Do you roast them, mostly? We used to roast them whole on 275, periodically basting them with a mixture of 8 parts Heinz barbecue sauce and 1 part Texas Pete until they were nearly crispy and serve them with baked sweet taters, cathead biscuits and cabbage killed with grease...

Increase the saturated fat (bacon), decrease the sugar (Stevia).
Good for the liver!

No, I don't eat them- I work for a pest control company with one of my duties being wildlife trapping. People are amazed when I pull a 30 pound raccoon out of their attic. Everyone seems to think that because they live in the city, there wouldn't be any critters. There are thousands and thousands of raccoons, oppossum and skunks here in Orange County....

Ok.
Saturated fat, protects the liver from the sugar!
