I used to make meat pies out of squirrel mixed with a few other game meats. I used venison sausage, squirrel, some turkey, and then onions, garlic, and other vegetables to fill the shell, plus cheddar. The dish is called “PETA pie,” and it’s really quite delicious.
We had a squirrel infestation in the roof crawlspace at the time, which presents a serious fire hazard as they will chew on wires. You could poison them, but who wants dead squirrels in the roof of his house? So, I baited a trap outside where it would be safe to shoot, and then watched the trap out the window. When one of them was up on it eating the birdseed, it was a simple matter to blast him with my grandfather’s old single-shot 20-gauge shotgun.
I wasn’t hunting them for meat, but there was no reason to waste the meat, either. It’s perfectly good game, not as tasty as venison, but a good filler meat for things like pies.

I used to make a Squirrel and Rabbit meat combo dumpling that received much praise.

“wasted meat?”
I dunno, guys. To me, wasted meat is bologna that’s been in the fridge too long. But a dead squirrel is road kill.

Heh. As to that, even fresh bologna is permitted to contain a certain percentage of rat droppings and other “filler” — as are all processed meats, including ground beef.
It’s just something you’re not used to thinking about eating. But think how much more wholesome than the bologna-with-rat-droppings is the squirrel you shot yourself, who has spent his life in the open air of the forest, who is cleaned with knives you washed yourself, and prepared in your own kitchen.

Meh. I’d rather order out a pizza.

I like pizza myself.
