Why baked squirrel Berek? Why not some other animal? You must have a reason - you can't be a pikey, 'cos one of them would've said hedgepig!

If some of ya'll never been down South too much...
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this,
So that you'll understand what I'm talking about
Down there we have a plant
That grows out in the woods and the fields,
Looks somethin' like a turnip green.
Everybody calls it Poke salad. Poke salad.
Used to know a girl that lived down there and
she'd go out in the evenings and pick a mess of it...
Carry it home and cook it for supper,
'Cause that's about all they had to eat,
But they did all right.
[sung]
Down in Louisiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
There lived a girl that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame
Poke salad Annie, poke salad Annie
Everybody said it was a shame
Cause her mama was working on the chain-gang
(A mean, vicious woman)
Everyday 'fore supper time
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess o' polk salad
And carry it home in a tote sack
Poke salad Annie, 'gators got you granny
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her mama was aworkin' on the chain-gang
(a wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,
Lord have mercy. Pick a mess of it)
Her daddy was lazy and no count
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Was stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch
Poke salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Cause her mama was a working' on the chain gang
(Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need a mess of it)

He ate them doh:

He was also said to eat fried banana and jelly sandwiches but he didn't sing about those either.

Fried jelly? sick2:
No wonder he's dead noooo:
-
Now you know, my much travelled friend, that what we call Jelly the Yanks call Jello and what they call Jelly we call jam. ::)
-
Why would you fry jam?
I may have to go and try it. COuld be interesting. Is that deep fried or just normal fried?
-

Make a sandwich of bread, jam and mashed banana. Cook it in your toasted sandwich maker (you'll find that in the back of the tallest/highest kitchen cupboard where it has lived since you first used it and discovered how hard they are to clean)or dip the sandwich in beaten egg and fry it in shallow pan like French toast.
Don't forget to seal the edges of the sandwich with beaten egg or your filling will spill out and you will be in trouble with You Know Who.
If you are shallow frying it turn once after about four minutes or so (when the base is golden brown and cook other side) Enjoy.
BTW it is supposed to have been his last meal.
-
I fear it would be mine too. I may have to give that one a miss.
And I wouldn't describe it as "a meal", but I may be using that term in a specialist sense unknown in the US of A (or parts of Barrow)

as a child, Elvis ate squirrels, (o') possums, pig's feet, pig's ears, sweet potatoes, turnip greens and cornbread,

So you are implying that he grwew out of this.
The butchers' shops round his way must have amazing window displays.
I am sure there are devotees hereabouts, but wouldn't pigs' feet be a bit crunchy?

No but quite gelatinous.
Personally I dislike them but my late father loved Pigs Trotters with vinegar. Usually on a Saturday Night.
Times have changed as we have prospered as a nation. Same with the Yanks.
I doubt that Elvis' area had a butchers shop as we would know it. More likely they shot most of what
meat they ate. That was the "American Way"

Oh, no, not if you know what you are doing!
Pig's feet (or pig's trotters as she used to call them) were a great favourite of my old Granny (bless her cotton socks), along with such other delicacies as lamb's brains and tripe! Mind you, this was back when I was a nipper in the early 60's! And she was in her 80's then!
The pig's trotters had to be boiled for some time, were then served with lashings of salt/pepper and eaten with bread and butter. I recall it being a somewhat messy operation, they being eaten with the fingers as they had to be dismembered and each individual bone gently 'gnawed' to get any nutritional bits off it!
To my knowledge though, she never tried squirrel - though her rabbit stew was one of my favourites.
-
I once ate lamb's intestines. AS I was being "treated" to them I could hardly refuse, but I managed to hide most of them under my shoe. sick2:

So you've never sampled genuine country made lamb sausages then? You really should - they're quite good.

Which country are they made in?

I am fond of goats, but not to eat, obviously. Though I did have as goat stew once. Chewy.

West Indians are very fond of goat - it features extensively in their cuisine (or so I'm reliably informed).
It's also been known to appear in curry from time to time - bear in mind that beef is a non starter for many in the curry countries and they are not big on sheep raising so use goat for the meat in a 'meat curry'.
Like any other meat it has to be cooked correctly to bring out the best. Venison falls into the same category.

I recall on the flight back from Canada the trolly dolly was handing out meals. I heard her saying to the Hindu family behind me, "It is quite nice. It's beef!" They declined the offer

Quite sensible if my experience of airline 'food' is anything to go by! I'd probably have done the same.
Mind you, I do recall two occasions out of the many flights I've taken, where the food was outstanding.
One was transAtlantic to the States with TWA (remember them?) and I had an excellent fillet steak whilst enjoying the luxury of Club class travel.
The other was with Evergreen (ever heard of them?) on a trip (also Club) to Taiwan. Real crockery, real knives/forks and personally served food. All piping hot and remarkably good. Mind you that was ten years ago.
P.S. It's 'trolley' Nick.

Baby Brother ~ who is a butcher ~ tells me that a lot of "Goat" is in fact sheep meat as the Brits will only buy "Lamb" and the older mutton is passed off to the ethnic communities as goat. He says by the time its curried they can't tell anyway.

In Hinduism, the cow is considered sacred and its protection is a recurrent theme in which she is symbolic of abundance, of the sanctity of all life and of the earth that gives much while asking nothing in return. Most Hindus respect the cow as a matriarchal figure for her gentle qualities and providing nurturing milk and its products for a largely vegetarian diet. Hindus do not worship the cow, yet it holds an honoured place in society, and it is part of Hindu tradition to avoid the consumption of beef.

Do you do as I do and mix venison, rabbit, hare (if available) and game birds or are you one of those who prefers Birds and Animals in separate pies?
-
MIxed, but no hare involved. We have them locally (in and around Growlers' swamp) but the landowners keep it quiet. Mr Landowner goes shooting though and gives me some of the proceeds (pheasant usually), not goats though. He only does clay goats.

I am well aware of that Nick - I refer you to this (from an earlier post in this thread):
West Indians are very fond of goat - it features extensively in their cuisine (or so I'm reliably informed).
It's also been known to appear in curry from time to time - bear in mind that beef is a non starter for many in the curry countries and they are not big on sheep raising so use goat for the meat in a 'meat curry'.
