Ingredients: Ask Mama how to fix squirrel and she would say,"that depends". If they are young, fry them. If they are old, smother them in gravy. Now, how do you know how old a squirrel is? I could be cute and say ask them their age before you kill them...but, my brother Sonny would say by their size.
FRIED SQUIRREL
Cook them just like chicken, but not as long.

Notes: Mama fixed the best squirrels, fried and smothered. Believe it or not, Gail, Sonny and I used to fuss over who was going to get to eat the brain from the fried squirrels. Makes me sick to think of that now!!!
