Squirrel pot-pie is a PA standard that I ate a lot at hunting camp when I
was growing up. Squirrel is very edible. The recipe there looks close to
what I remember. Soups or stews are good, I have had "squirrel on a
stick" before too. Cook the squirrel before using it.
I remember we used to go "varmint shooting" before hunting season
at the cabin my Dad was a member of when I was a kid. We had to
bring back squirrels to cook for supper that night. I didn't realize
what they were for till I was told to clean them and put them in the
pot....
