I have a girl coming over, should I tell her she's eating squirrel or will it put her off? I know some people don't like the idea.

Also, red or white wine??

[Anonymous No.5016251]

>>5016246
don't these rodents have parasites or something

[Anonymous No.5016254]

Of course it will put her off.

The real question is:
Do you really want to be with someone who doesn't eat squirrels?

[Anonymous No.5016285]

uh.. say it's rabbit.

serve with red wine in my opinion.

[Anonymous No.5016289]

>>5016246
No dude, it will put her on
on to your rodent dick

if the meat is red, red wine
if the meat is pink, white

lol

[Anonymous No.5016354]

You'll want red wine to help cut through the gaminess of the meat.

>anything that isn't farm-raised is "gamy" and has to be prepared in a manner to make it taste farm-raised

I bet you sprinkle glyphosate on your homegrown vegetables so they have the same store-bought feeling.

i feel like even duck would put a woman off, if shes not patrician that is

god duck is good, so glad its in season now

Any woman who rejects duck cannot be a wife. Any man who rejects duck cannot be a friend.

My television rejects duck, therefore it is not a friend. That is why it does not get a nickname from me, such as TV. Nicknames are for friends and no appliance that rejects duck is a friend of mine.

>Thinking squirrel isnt

Educate yourself and try it. It has a very strong flavor that needs to be masked in some manner to most people, and the majority wins.

fucking duck, so damn good. brought one back and my momma made it with some kind of cilantro sauce. i forget what was in it but god damn was it one of the best things ive ever tasted.

The majority eat McDonald's and not wild game. Why would I pay attention to their tastes?

Squirrels In Medeira

>4 grey squirrels, skinned and dressed
>Flour for dredging
>Salt and pepper
>5-6 tablespoons of butter
>1/2 pound of mushrooms, quartered
>4 shallots, peeled and coarsely chopped
>1 cup of Madeira
>2 cups of stock
>1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley

Cut the squirrels into serving pieces. Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the squirrel pieces in the flour and set aside.

Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large, heavy pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and shallots and saute, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are slightly brown. Remove and set aside.

In the same pan, brown the squirrel pieces on all sides, a few pieces at a time, adding more butter as needed. Set them aside.

Deglaze the pan with the Madeira. Return the squirrels, shallots, and mushrooms to the pan. Add the stock, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour. Add the parsley and simmer 10 minutes more, or until squirrels are tender.

Serves 8

White wine.
Don't tell her.

[Anonymous No.5018338]

I always thought /ck/ was the most normal board, but my God, you guys are fucked.

[Anonymous No.5018348]

>>5018338
What? People have been eating squirrel since forever. Its perfectly normal.

[Anonymous No.5018357]

White. Anyone who says otherwise is a faggot.

You should tell her just to make sure she has fair warning. I'd recommend to mention it as part of a larger phrase in which you let her know you have phimosis.

[Anonymous No.5018395]

Cheap red wine w/ squirrel.

Tell her it's squirrel.

[Anonymous No.5018405]

You should tell her it's squirrel
Sure it's likely to not end well
But it would be much worse to trick someone into eating something that they may be against eating

[Anonymous No.5018417]

>>5018338
Squirrel is good. Well, I should say, can be good. I've had bad squirrel before, and it's really bad.

[Anonymous No.5018418]

if she asks, tell her. If she doesn't, just let her enjoy the meal

[Anonymous No.5018420]

>>5018418
Yeah, and get ready for a freak out in the middle of dinner.

Just don't tell her. If she asks, tell her it's chicken and see if she believes it.

[Anonymous No.5018421]

Say it's just free range chicken.

This, or make some bullshit up about your father being a squirel farmer in canada, and you being used to it.

[Anonymous No.5018426]

Squirrel is great in gumbo and jambalaya.

Anyone who isn't willing to try it, isn't worth being with.

[Anonymous No.5018427]

>>5016246

at first i thought that looked really good, like some nice pan roasted chicken.

but then i noticed it's kinda human-shaped. it even has a human-like torso.

yikes.

[Anonymous No.5018430]

You don't lie to people about what you're serving them
that is the absolute worst thing you can do

Say it's squirrel

[Anonymous No.5018433]

I am pretty sure it's more like "Generic Woman Taste" who goes ew on the smallest things like gaminess of meat. Then again I am probably sexist as fuck.

I can eat anything, but something about rodents really gets me. I'm like the guy from 1984

Knowing plenty of people who poison squirrels around here, I'd generally avoid them too, mostly depending on where they came from.

>poisoning squirrels with rat poison instead of shooting them with a pellet gun and throwing them in the pot
Why are yankees so retarded and backwards?

[Anonymous No.5018449]

hummm. You better tell her first nobody likes that kind of "suprise" . and with reason. hey , i know you said you would never eat it, but guess what.. you just ate... hardy har , har. Almost any thing is fair game to me, including hog, catfish or shell fish. that's me. I would never knowingly serve that to a devout Muslim or Jewish person. the key is Knowingly, a small point, but crucial. with INTENT. it's like doves. the release them at weddings a sybol of hope and enligtenment. and true. but after i shot a few, peeled the breast meat off and it takes a min. and kind of nasty( those that ave eaten dove know what I am speaking of. and those small bits are great in some gravy, with taters. BUT and a big but, I would not serve it to a fan of doves, and say Guess what you just ate some. have a bit of respect for others ways. I like horses. and probably have eaten it a time or two( certain steak houses) but I would affronted if some one said, here, have a horse steak. for religious, ethical or personal reasons. you just don't do that. unless you want the pan upside your head and the contents dripping off you.

In this case the guy is like 90 years old and it's easier to put some rat poison under a wire frame than attempt to hunt squirrels. But yes, rat poison is not a great way to go.

[Anonymous No.5018472]

light red, like pinot noir
....say its rabbit

[Anonymous No.5018479]

I submit to the master. that (op's and not opies) pic was inflammatory, yet innocuous. well done sir or ma'am. I think it really is a almost a full moon I been trolled. still. wise advice. nobody likes t that kind of "suprise" I would not do that. like the idiot that puts a diamond ring in champagene. and the other person gul;ps it. well, this too shall pass. after a day or two. with much embarrassment and a few filteres over the toilet. better off just giving the damn thing to him or her. 10/10

[Anonymous No.5018494]

and by the by, that is a very real thing. not talking of food. a lepord can change his or her spots. outwardly. maybe. like a chameleon. but if like me, you don't need any project. tough enough to deal with yourself.

Also, what the fuck are you doing? You're supposed to separate the limbs and only also cook the breast, not the whole fucking torso cavity, you fuck.

I haven't tried duck in many maaany years and I don't remember what it was like. But I'd like to be married someday so should I go buy some duck?
