I've tried tripe, looked at chittlins, though about hog head, done lutefisk, sometimes, once is enough.

I'll bet you 30+ years ago if they had this internet and forum you would gotten a lot more serious answers.

YES! Mine has no consistent recipe but the end result is most always good.
I break them down into 3 pieces. Front & rear quarters and the middle. I soak mind in milk, buttermilk or salt water. Whatever i have on hand, usually overnight. Dredge in flour and fry in bacon drippings or butter/oil mix. I add my onion and garlic in for the last couple minutes of browning. When browned, cover with chicken stock and add the rest of your vegetables (if using any). I like to add whatever I have on hand. Season with salt and pepper or anything that you would put on chicken. Cook on low until you can pick the meat. Pull out the meat, cool, pick it and add it back in. Toss the bones. I make a basic drop biscuit or pop a can. Again...whatever is on hand. Add the biscuit dough and cover to finish the cook.
My last one was done in out camping with bacon drippings with a can of veg-all and wide egg noodles. Good stuff, Maynard!

When I was 10 years old, I went on one of the first deer hunts of my life. Father, Grandfather, Sis’s boyfriend. I was hunting as well with a model 94.
I was trigger-happy and while out we were seeing a lot of Tassel-eared squirrels. My dad let me shoot a couple and bring them back to camp.
My Grandfather made squirrel stew and I’ll never forget it

My grandmother would cook squirrels when we shot them.
Don't remember it anyway but fried. Squirrel quartered up, soaked in Buttermilk and fried in that old cast iron Wagner pan was as good as it gets.
I remember Grandma talking about eating squirrel brains. She admitted, more or less, that they were really hungry and couldn't justify eating their livestock, when they could sell it.

I cook squirrel and dumplings all the time. I use homemade flat dumplings rolled thin. I happen to love the flavor of squirrel, so I don't soak it any anything to make it taste milder.

Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.
