Many thanks to all who posted interesting, practical, amusing and some
downright dangerous suggestions. Much appreciated.

I'll certainly be trying some of them very soon.


Don't try the barbecue one, or if you must, stew the squirrels first.
Same applies to making pies of them - cook them until they're tender
before you put the pie crust on.

Don't think of them as rats, they get a clean diet and are fine to eat.
Slow cooking is best for them, and then they're very good.
