Gotta Love this Chef, his cooking and his comments: Chef Rico writes: I got Canadian Cajun blood back on my Mom’s side which makes me 1/32nd Cajun. I’m sure it’s all in my right foot cos that’s the one that taps the hardest when I play Clifton Chenier on the stereo. The left foot is definitely Irish. It can be confusing. LOL Editor’s’ note: Squirrel and rabbit are interchangeable in recipes. Try substituting squirrel to this dish.
