I have a squirrel hanging outside the backdoor now which will be cooked tomorrow have done them before and they are delicious..tandoori style or on a BQ.
That sounds lovely, I might have to see if my local farm shop could source a squirrel, they can get most other stuff.
Always trying stuff - not dead yet so it must be turning out OK!
Rabbit, spit roasted over an oak chip fire, or trout on a greenstick grill have to be favourites so far for protien.
A mixed warm salad of Wall Pennywort, beechleaves and Jack-by-the-hedge takes some beating in spring - roast chestnuts or chestnut puree in autumn as highly rated
Blackberry and apple in any form is a winner but wild strawberry jam.....MMMMMmmmmm.!
Nastertium leaves and flowers as a warm or cold salad are peppery, the pickled seeds great with game, as is rowan jelly.
The list is endless!

At the Bushmoot I was looking forward to trying the Rabbit from the Hangi, because I'd not had rabbit before and I couldn't believe myself, I didnt like it! I've liked every meat I've had up until that point.

I've had secveral people say the same - and rabbit meat can be an acquired taste. But try it in a stew with winter veg, chillie and paprika and it transforms the taste.
Yeah, just after I ate it I thought the only way I thought I might enjoy it in the future if it was in a real nice stew.
Crawfish boiled, be sure to pinch the tails and suck the heads.
Frog legs fried or roasted
wild persimmons, remove the seeds, mash and sweeten with honey or sugar if you have it mix with cat tail flour until pastey and bake
rabbit roasted or fried, make gravy from the grease if you fry it and pour over cat tail flour cakes

I've eaten freshly caught rabbit on a farm in France but it was cooked in a kitchen. They
wouldn't tell me what it was before I ate it, but it was edible enough. I also tried frogs'
legs but I drew the line at snails.
I had a yam (don't think it was that wild ) cooked on embers which was "salivating as
I type" delicious, as well as corn on the cob which we burned a bit, but still tasty.
Presumably toasted marshmallows doesn't count...
I wish I was less frightened of sea food - the thought of it, let alone the appearance, puts
me off.

Nettle and ground ivy frittata, follwed by slow cooked blackberry bannocks baked in a tin on an open fire! Nice!
