Every time I see this thread I picture Michael Jordan, Buggs Bunny and hear 'I believe I can fly' in my head

anybody ever eaten mouse ?
i watched a squirrel thump a bus and die about a month ago.
been wanting to try the road kill game for a while, so i stopped picked the nice warm squirrel up threw it into van.
came home youtubed how to skin it. (lucky not to vomit) gutted it (gipped a little bit) and slow cooked the thing for 4 hrs.
was as tough as old boots but tasted nice, so thought i'd give her an opportunity to shine and steamed the thing for another 4 hrs. same result.
threw her in oven overnight, really peaved with the b***h, next morning me thinking squirrel spread on my toast. oh no even tougher.
gave it to my dog and he loved it. played with her all day but couldnt eat the thing.
anyway i digress whats mouse taste like ?

Probably tastes like chicken!

nah!. theres not enough on a mouse to actually taste of anything, they are only a third in body to what you actually see!.

rat tastes like chicken slightly, had plenty of squirrel (roast that in foil) & pigeon ok but hardly worth the effort. what we shot we ate!!.

i never had road kill although the kids keep asking me for some to try and telling me to reverse and pick them up?. personally if its been hit then it bruises and taints the meat imo?.

I've a mate who's father was French. He says in France they even eat Fox, which tastes like total crap.

Badger Ham is apparently quite nice. My mate, has eaten plenty of squirel, and says its OK, he eats loads of game, rabbits, pigeon, hare.

Personally the only game I eat is venison or at a push a bit of pheasant. Who knew Bambi would be so tasty. Wouldn't eat road kill though!!

(We were discussing this subject in the pub last week) he pointed out that on the whole animals that are vegeterian are better eating, omnivores are ok and generally meat eating animals are gross.

New Brunswick stew is quite popular in parts of the USA

This little old lady has had 3 so far this year Shaun. But the first time I came across one a few year ago it was still fairly moist. It actually made me heave where I wasn't expecting it!

It's the smell if they've been around a while that has that effect.

I still prefer beaver.

Fresh beaver?
