Squirrels are overrunning the countryside of Devon, England, so Chef Ed Chester decided to do something about those pesky critters: he's making squirrel kebab!
Cook Ed Chester reckons squirrel meat is delicious and is also selling pates and fricassees made from the rodents.
He believes the spread of grey squirrels has damaged the countryside and it is a good idea to eat them to control their numbers.
The squirrel dishes have become an instant hit with adventurous diners at the restaurant at Otterton Mill, near Budleigh Salterton, Devon.
As an invasive species, I'd say the Eastern Greys are "ripe for picking" in the U.K.
Om nom nom..
also, Squirrels have had to be eradicated in some places as they can carry the bubonic plague (I think Denver had to once shoot all their squirrels in the park?) - does cooking kill the disease?
It's illegal to eat Squirrel in Canada? WHY? They breed faster than rabbits around here.
In Maine you can't get anyone to eat grey.
