Saute them in clarified butter with some freshly minced garlic and a hint of organic dill. Be careful not to let them overcook, as they will become tough (as game tends to do). Serve with a light wine...maybe a pinot grogio...and a tender green salad with a splendid olive oil and rosemary dressing. May I recommend the grilled sparrow as an appetizer and a scrumptious chocolate mousse for dessert? Bon appetit!

Oh, honey ~ Muskrat TarTar is simply to die for! Be sure to use loads of MiracleWhip, OK?

Oh, man, Martha Stewart just did a show on this topic the other day. I believe she said it depended on what type of wine you planned on serving it with...

The dead ones off the road have cured so are much more tender and have a better flavour.
