Cajun Squirrel Stew

Willy done decided that since this is the first day of Squirrel season in Arkansas that Willy would honor that day by giving out this great Cajun Squirrel Stew Recipe.

The Stew might be a little spicy for some of you non-redneck squirrel hunters, but if it is you can just wait around and Willy will tell you how to cook Squirrel Brains - a Delicacy in the Hills of Arkansas


Cajun Squirrel Stew

Ingredients

Squirrels - cut into serving pieces, amount depends on how many you can eat

They eat squirrells (with brains) in East Texas, too. Be careful where you eat your gumbo is all I have to say.

Some might say that West Texans eat prairie dogs but I've never heard of that.
