Chow re: Today in Edible Varmint
Posted by Brendan Kiley on Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 11:45 AM
England, as Dave posted earlier this week, has been eating a lot of squirrel lately—now vegetarians can play along!
From the Sun:
The new snack was picked by a panel of judges, including wacky celeb chef Heston Blumenthal, in Walkers’ Do Us A Flavour challenge.Crisp lover Martyn Wright, 26, of Hednesford, near Birmingham, came up with the squirrel idea.
He said: “I wanted something unique.” Another five new flavours will be unveiled today.
Squirrel-eating died out in Britain in the 1800s, but toffs’ dinner parties have put it back on the menu.
Walkers insist no real Tufties were hurt in the making of the vegetarian crisps.
Dear God, please let this not be a joke. Also, will you please teleport a bag of Cajun squirrel chips to my desk? Thank you and amen.
Thanks to Gawker and Slog tipper Josh.

You know, beans are a staple worldwide and cheap in bulk quantities.
Or you can just go to that cool fruit and vegeatable stand near the VA Hospital and buy your veggies for a lot less, and swing by Costco for rice and other things in bulk. There's a chinese store about a block from Uwajimaya that sells rice and other ingredients even cheaper, too.

Eating the invasive American Gray Squirrel makes such sense since it gives the beleaguhered European Red Squirrel some breating room.
It makes me want a nutria coat to help save our marshes and levies. I do not want any nutria chips though, thank you very much.

We shall fight the invading Grey Squirrels with every means at our disposal, even if we have to sacrifice them to the cannibal humans that endanger us!

Why do you hate us so?
We don't go and skin you and eat your bodies?
Have you no shame?
MURDERERS!

Oh, yay! More veggie foods that have a taste reminiscent of animals! This is what all of us, veg and non, have been clamoring for!

Ben - you're a tit. This is Tufty.

Tufty was a character used to teach kids about crossing the road and other safety issues. Bizarre British kitsch. I'm sure Fnarf has a Tufty Club comforter on his bed.
