New Meaning to Old Phrase

[Minstrel]

I think it is a sign that you need to make a spicy squirrel stew, but that's just me!

My reflexive reaction to your suggestion: Par for the course for someone from the piney woods of far east Texas.

My taste buds have never been exposed to the delectabilities of squirrel...but, my Brother-in-Law, whose heritage derives from somewhere around SW-Arkansas and the Texas-Louisiana border, claims that his grandmother used to make squirrel dumplings that included the skulls with squirrel brains intact...which brains, much like Louisianans & their crawdads/crayfish, were the grandmother's prize, to be sucked/slurped from the skulls.

Have you had spicy squirrel stew?

LOL. The NSA is known to have used secret squirrels.

"Secret Squirrels"...
