No Squirrel for you Chef.

Did you know that it is actually illegal to purchase squirrel meat on the internet IN THE USA?  I mean, can you believe that!!!   First healthcare, now this.  You can purchase squirrel meat if, for instance, you are living in Iraq, but apparently it is illegal here in the U.S.A. .  I mean, what makes squirrel meat any worse to purchase than say ... rabbit, or frog meat.  And what makes it any worse to buy it pre-packaged than to shoot your own and call it a day.  I think it is just bizarre.  How can you make squirrel gravy and cat head biscuits if you are not allowed to purchase the basic ingredients.  So much for that dish occuring in the finest restaurants in New York, and in a city where they are probably overrun with squirrels.

I went to dinner last night with two good friends, Monica and Chris and we decided that the finer restaurants probably have a secret "Squirrel Meat" closet where they sell it "off the menu".  It is right in there beside puffer fish and cuban cigars.

Somewhere in Iraq chefs are rolling in squirrel meat, but here in the U.S. the government has decided to outlaw it.

Just bizarre.
