We prepared the supplied:
- squirrel
- partridge
- pheasant
for example:

.

.

.
and cooked them in a dutch oven
.

.
But we had a little mishap with one of the dishes. We had rested the oven on the burning wood but some of it burnt through and the dutch oven tipped. The food got a little bit burnt (it's actually the pheasant):

.
Despite that all the food was great and I was amazed at just how much better than packeted food it was. And I now want a Dutch oven!

Get yourself a gas bottle and try some of your new metal-working skills Chris.

Don't blow your head off though. :yikes:

Just seen the query re squirrel - it was really tasty - definitely want to try it again (and there are some in my garden ......)

does it taste like chicken?
in seriousness can it be compared to any other flavour?

Kind of similar to rat but imo rat is better tasting.
