Squirrel is off the menu in one Passaic County town.
For the first time, the state has issued warnings on how much squirrel people should eat in Ringwood.
That's because the town is near a toxic waste dump and a lead-contaminated animal was found in the area two months ago.
Ringwood residents are advised that children should not eat squirrel more than once a month, pregnant women should limit their intake to twice a month, and adults should not eat squirrel more than twice a week.
Residents and many environmental activists believe the lead comes from toxic waste dumped by the Ford Motor Company from its now-closed manufacturing plant in Mahwah.
Ford is removing thousands of tons of waste from the 500-acre site.
The Ringwood area is home to many members of the Ramapough Mountain Indian tribe who hunt and fish in the area.

i've got a louisiana cookbook with squirrel recipes..squirrel pie squirrel stew. it's also got coon and rabbit. i;ve never tried it though...scrappy things
this was quite different than i thought when i opened it...sad, even (yet typical these days - you can't eat fish out of the hudson, either)

confident. It extremely sucks, truthfully. the subject, a minimum of with the way the nutters in my family contributors cooked it, is that it is recommended to cook dinner it too lots to maintain the beef from making you ill. And so what you get left is purely somewhat stringy "meat" that tastes kinda like twangy rooster and is approximately as difficult as a *canine Bone* in places (between the rawhide jobbers). meaning you want a fork and knife, maybe 2, purely to make certain you do no longer bend something too badly as you shrink the concern up into products you may swallow. yet whats up, I understand your mileage might selection, and that there in all hazard are undemanding approaches to cook dinner squirrel properly. I purely have not encountered them yet.

I've never eaten a squirrel in my entire life and never will.
