I've never tried squirrel. Does it really taste sweet?

Too right when it's around £8 for a couple of pounds of mince at the butchers.

They are the perfect austerity dish, and will be much more popular after they've been re-launched as "Tree Rabbits" you'll see

You gotta admit the hanging carcass looks a lot like somebody's pet though.

I suppose so, they don't have heads or feet though.

I think that's the point. The head & feet would be recognizeble. Without them the imagination puts there what it will. A skinned bear carcass carcass without head or feet looks like a man!
