Even better with the heads on, December 30, 2003 - 04:21 PM
Reviewer: Anonymous from Cupertino, California
I never thought I would find a recipe that blended the exotic sweetness of pineapple with the yummy taste of squirrel. I myself prefer to serve it with the heads on albeit cleaned up. Gourmets may also like a crusty pistachio/coconut garnish. I have tried squirrel in Moscow but nothing beats the taste of the Alabama squirrel I was raised on.
