World Champion Squirrel Cook Off coming to Arkansas this September Link to the article ROGERS (KATV) — The World Champion Squirrel Cook-Off is coming to Springdale next month. The family-friendly extravaganza is returning after a three-year hiatus caused by COVID-19. Festivities will kick off at the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's J.B. and Johnelle Hunt Family Ozark Highlands Nature Center at 9 a.m. on Sep. 7. Event planner and cooking contest veteran Joe Wilson saID he's been preparing all year to make the cook-off memorable. “We’re always up to try something new and keep things fresh,” Wilson said. “We’re not sure exactly how everything will turn out, but we know it’s going to be a lot of fun.” The cook-off will consist of 40, three-person teams. Teams will begin smoking and grilling their squirrels at 9 a.m. and present their dishes to a panel of judges at noon. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | ||

Just curious - are these farmed squirrels? Wild caught? Bring your own? 40 teams? I wonder how many squirrels we're talking about here.... Anybody tried squirrel before? What's it like? Chicken?

I've had the big eastern grey and fox squirrels and they weren't bad. Decent survival food should the need arise. The little ones around these parts are nasty. I'd eat 'em, but only if necessary. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Ate squirrel as a kid, little buggers taste good! Now I feed them in my backyard while grilling Steaks! Wife won't eat it, and subsequent won't let me dust 'em! | |||

True story. My dad, with my assistance, tried making squirrel Jerky. Don't. Do. That. Couldn't cut it with a hatchet. Wait for the Possum cookoff! Them's some fine ettin' And we don't have any Javalina. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.

Joe Wilson’s excitement about making it fresh is definitely a good sign. | |||

Did as a kid first animal I hunted. It’s a dark meat. Much better tasting than Minneapolis Rat. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

I wonder if there's a way to incorporate the squirrel catapult into the contest... | |||

How do they manage spatulas etc. with those tiny paws?  | |||

Growing up my grandfather would make squirrel stew. Tasted fine, IIRC. | |||

One night when Doc Steve and I were leaving a nice steakhouse, he looked at some pretty people walking in, squinted with one eye and said "You gotta try the fried squirrel and taters tonight, they was scrumptious". _____________________________________________ I may be a bad person, but at least I use my turn signal. | |||
