It tastes sweet, like a cross between lamb and duck. And it's selling as fast as butchers can get it. It's low in fat, low in food miles and completely free range.
5g chopped parsley; a good pinch of salt and pepper
Method
· Egg wash edges of pastry circles.
· Place the potato, swede, hazelnuts, parsley and seasoning on to each circle followed by the bacon, squirrel meat and, finally, the onion.
· Place butter in each pasty, then fold over the pastry and crimp the edges.
· Put the pasties on to a greaseproof baking tray, egg wash both pasties well, place in a pre-heated oven at 180C or gas mark 5.
· Bake for 45-50 minutes. The juices should start to boil and the pasties should be able to move on the tray with ease.

I'd be afraid to eat a squirrel. I wouldn't want to know what they have eaten.
Squirrels aren't really into the scavenging thing so they tend to be pretty clean by "rodent" standards.
When I was a kid I used to hunt for rabbit and squirrel with my Dad. Suckers are pretty damned small targets from anything more than 50 feet but we did okay. Granny (no really, we called her Granny) cleaned em up and it was good eatin'. Treat it pretty much like rabbit as far as cooking.

And just what is it that your over active imagination thinks it is that squirrels eat?
Squirrels in the wild eat mostly tree seeds, better known as cones and acorns.
They also like all forms of grains and will raid bird feeders, but then again that is for seeds.
Do not confuse them with rats, which would, given the opportunity eat you!

I'm imagining the urban squirrels in toronto being snatched up in an alleyway behind a restaurant
One day we noticed a common gray squirrel perched on top of the railing behind the Visitor's Center.
It was holding a dead bird and eating the breast meat. We dubbed him the "Carnivorous Squirrel."
The bird, a downy woodpecker, probably flew into a large picture window of the Atrium room and was found by this squirrel.
The squirrel carried the bird up onto the railing and had a feast.
And you thought squirrels only climbed on bird feeders to eat the seed!
there must be a horror movie in this.....
