What does squirrel meat taste like?
I never ate it as jerky. As a child we killed and ate them though. If the squirrel was not too old it was usually very tender and moist if cooked properly. Mostly dark meat .. has a chicken texture. We loved making squirrel gravy and biscuits for breakfast. But fried squirrel was also a good item for supper. It tastes a bit like chicken but also has that wild “gamey” flavor. It is hard to describe because it tastes like nothing else.
