Mmmmmmm. Yummy. Squirrels.
From people being fined for killing them, to a company making the world's strongest beer in taxidermied one, Squirrels are a hot topic these days. Today, squirrels are in the news because of their meat.
Budgens, a North London supermarket is now selling squirrel meat. Apparently, it tastes like rabbit.
Andrew Thorton, owner of the Budgen's that's selling the meat claims that "squirrel meat is more sustainable than beef" and "Squirrels will be culled anyway. You have two choices. Either you dispose of them or you eat them."
It's really popular, despite animal welfare groups disapproval.
There you have it. Another reason to go easy on the meat.
