The ultimate ethical meal: a grey squirrel
It tastes sweet, like a cross between lamb and duck. And it's selling as fast as butchers can get it
It's low in fat, low in food miles and completely free range. In fact, some claim that Sciurus carolinensis - the grey squirrel - is about as ethical a dish as it is possible to serve on a dinner plate.
The grey squirrel, the American cousin of Britain's endangered red variety, is flying off the shelves faster than hunters can shoot them, with game butchers struggling to keep up with demand. 'We put it on the shelf and it sells. It can be a dozen squirrels a day - and they all go,' said David Simpson, the director of Kingsley Village shopping centre in Fraddon, Cornwall, whose game counter began selling grey squirrel meat two months ago.
At Ridley's Fish and Game shop in Corbridge, Northumberland, the owner David Ridley says he has sold 1,000 - at £3.50 a squirrel - since he tested the market at the beginning of the year. 'I wasn't sure at first, and wondered would people really eat it. Now I take every squirrel I can get my hands on. I've had days when I have managed to get 60 and they've all sold straight away.'
Simpson likens the taste to wild boar. Ridley thinks it is more a cross between duck and lamb. 'It's moist and sweet because, basically, its diet has been berries and nuts,' he said.
Both believe its new-found popularity is partly due to its green credentials. 'People like the fact it is wild meat, low in fat and local - so no food miles,' says Simpson. Ridley reckons that patriotism also plays a part: 'Eat a grey and save a red. That's the message.'
Good post. I have a Couple of albinos in back of house. They're so scarce I'm happy to feed them to keep them close. The rest are fair game.
Be careful of shot in game meat. I had a 2k dollar rare duck breast crack a molar.
My 7 year old son did the 3 minutes of Fame during the 2nd Intermission at a Bruins game a few weeks ago and after his time on the ice NESN did an interview with him and it was put on the jumbo Tron for all of TD garden to see. It was a great game the Bruins won 6 to 3, Pastrnak got a hat trick, and we were able to meet Cam Neely at the end of the game. A day the whole family will remember.

Surprised to see this thread on the first page on a Wednesday. Should we change the title of the thread?
@asheland
I might need to hijack that photo for the next time someone posts a parking lot penny.
No need to change the title as everyday is Friday on the PCGS boards!
