Wow!
Throw in some hillbilly music and some in here would be in Heaven.

“be prepared to eat something that doesn’t taste like chicken,” says
Wilson. “It’s going to taste exactly like squirrel.”

Better believe it! We ate a lot of squirrel while I was a kid. Dad and I went squirrel hunting just
about every Saturday when they were in season. Always bagged four or five, which was enough to feed
the family. No fancy prep though. Rolled the pieces in flour, browned them in a Dutch oven, then
added some water and put in the oven for an hour or so. Mashed potatoes and squirrel gravy always
set it off just right.

I'll bet they taste better than baby seals, don't you?

No idea...never tasted baby or adult seals.
Seeing the flippers for sale on wooden stands on St John's waterfront in 1969 was enough to gross me out.
I'm a city boy...I want my meat either already prepared to eat or properly packaged on Styrofoam and wrapped in cellophane.

No fish cleaning for you, eh? I spent a couple years working part time in a butcher shop so a bit of
fresh blood on my hands isn't offensive. Somebody's got to kill and dress the meat before it gets
put in that styrofoam.

I don’t know about seals, but Grey Whale tastes good. Landlady when I
went to school in Ohio, fixed squirrel cacciatore. Was very good with
Pasta..

Remember? His wife cleans the fish. He's evidently a bit squeamish.

Duh!
No she doesn't and that was the problem.

The problem is that you expect her to.


"Why would your wife clean it if you catch it?"

"Working together....I do the hard work and she contributes. Working as a team for the common good.
Got it ?"
