Share your squirrel and possum recipes

Since the U.S. economy seems headed for the shitter, now seems like an appropriate time to discuss any recipes you have for, shall we say, less traditional meats to stretch our dwindling funds.

Personally I like to stuff squirrel with wild mushrooms, discarded wonder bread, and government cheese, then roast on a spit over a campfire. After cooking, feel free to garnish with whatever sauce packets you've managed to scavenge from fast food establishments like Taco Bell.

    My Joy of Cooking circa 1947 has all kinds of recipes for stewed possum and braised bear cub.
    It details every way to feasibly skin and prepare pheasant, deer, bear, moose, elk and squirrel.

    Ahahaha god knows how many packs of arby's sauce we amassed over the years growing up (along with horseradish and others). At one point the glove compartment was full of "free bigmac!" winning tickets off the monopoly games. Grabbing a roll of those stickers is quite productive!

    If you want some honestly tasty food that can be made for dirt cheap or with small amounts of meat, try bigos, borscht, or other Polish/East european foods. Many of them were made when farms and families had trace amounts of various meat if any and made food from the few abundant ingredients they could harvest or find.

    Goddamn that stuff is good.

    This still will make ANYTHING taste like bacon, even roadkill!

    I tried to steal Knob's free samples at PAX but he made me get my own and I still have them.

    I wrap my squirrel in tinfoil and stick it on my engine and then drive around for 15 minutes. The exhaust, and hot asphalt really give it a good flavor.

    Pre-tenderize the meat with your front tires.

    My brother and his friend were out hunting and saw a porcupine. So, they decided to shoot it and eat it. They said it tasted like pork, but I think they are kinda rednecks.

    is that spunky, from rocko's modern life?

    I've seriously eaten squirrel before. Tastes kind of like rabbit. Quite delicious when properly prepared. I don't know how to cook either of them though, I always left that (and the cleaning, mostly) to Pops.

    Cheap eats include rice and pasta. Also, scope out the dented box section or shelf to get things like mac and cheese for a quarter, or hamburger helper for 35 cents. Most groceries also have a "gotta sell it today" section in their meat area. The meat is fine, it has just been sitting in the cooler for a day or two. It is suggested that you cook it or freeze it within 24 hours or something. I purchased some amazing "organic" pork chops really cheaply that way.
