That sounds a lot better than my grandmother's fried squirrel recipe.

A couple of young squirrels, rolled in flour and fried, then milk gravy made with the grease.  Hot biscuits made from scratch. Mashed potatoes. Great eating.

While fried squirrel done right is some mighty fine eating I rather wrap in bacon and bake.
