Squirrel

So I ate a squirrel yesterday. A colleague and I headed over to St. John Bread & Wine after work which has all kinds of strange and wonderful things on the menu. I ordered the potted squirrel, thinking that I would be getting some sort of vaguely squirrel-shaped carcass which I could pick apart at. No such luck. What I got more closely resembled a skinned rodent tossed in a blender. That, coupled with the fact that it was served at room temperature, gave the dish the overall appearance of tinned cat food. The taste wasn't too bad — a bit like rabbit, or very strong chicken, but it was really hard to get over the appearance. It's really too bad they weren't serving whole squirrel, or I would have bought an extra serving and taken it to the Pembury today in lieu of Frettchen as an April Fool's Joke.

Ah... I was at the one at Spitalfields, which is just down the street from where I work.
