Marmots are the largest species of squirrel and all squirrels are edible and tasty. Marmots are commonly called groundhogs, woodchucks, or rock chucks. These are rodents that are fast to populate an area, but it is a waste to kill them and leave them, as is sometimes done.
Squirrels can be cooked in a number of ways. My favorite is fried or roasted over a campfire. They are also quite good in soups and stews and the flavor is similar to rabbits and hares.
Have you ever eaten squirrel or marmot meat? Would you try it if you had the chance?
I have had my share of squirrel. They are good.
I agree. They are also quite easy to clean and to prepare.
