Dinner Party Ideas No.94

Currently homeless due to building work, TheEye misses his well-stocked kitchen and the chance to create.

So it was with some delight that this excellent idea was found on Dungeekin. Rather than just cull grey squirrels to save the red ones, why not eat them?

He offers this most alluring method of cooking them:

‘Ecureuil En Papillotte’

• First, take your squirrel and bludgeon it for the oven.
• Bludgeon it some more. Feels good, doesn’t it?
• Peel and disembowel your squirrel (purist torturers may wish to do this before the bludgeoning, as it can improve the flavour).
• Wrap in greaseproof paper with two garlic cloves, a sprig of rosemary, two slices of onion and shredded field mouse to taste.
• Cook in the oven for 25 minutes at Gas Mark 6.
• Remove from the oven, and leave to rest for ten minutes.
• Open the greaseproof paper, and inhale deeply.
• Throw it away and order a Pizza.

Or maybe just stick to the Walkers Cajun Squirrel flavoured crisps.

Serious posts will resume shortly but TheEye craves light humour at the moment.
