Squirrel Stew

"You shoot it. You clean it. AND You eat it!"

We'd heard all about Aaron bagging his first squirrel while visiting a chum. From the bushy-tail teasing, to the firing shot, to the "field dressing" and plastic bag packaging, his friend pressed Aaron into becoming a real hunter. The final challenge – "You eat it!" – remained... preserved in our freezer.

Aaron
wanted
it

for
his
birthday
meal,

but Chef Daddio
was on a work week
in Atlanta during

this 13-year-old's
big day.


Since then, Aaron had been pressing his dad to brew the stew.


Tonight the Rite of Passage was fulfilled.

"It DOES

taste like

CHICKEN!"

Aaron said in reference to his buddy's analogy.

Simmered in a crock pot with grouse, bacon and veggies, Aaron's trophy made a tasty Sunday dinner accompanied by baking-powder biscuits and blueberry cobbler.
