:tongue Diners go nuts for squirrel pie

Pub customers in York are going nuts for their local pub's latest special - squirrel pie and mash.

Andy and Stephanie Cross, of the Black Swan, were already keen on serving game, reports the York Press.

Rabbit, pigeon and hare were already on the menu - and now they have been joined by squirrel.

"It has had a great response - people were calling especially to see if we had it on," said Mr Cross.

"It tastes like a strong rabbit - just a more meaty taste."

Mr Cross said it was his wife who came up with the idea: "She read something about it and then unearthed some recipes," he added.

The squirrel pie was put on the specials menu and proved so popular that the pub has run out and is now waiting for more supplies.

The grey squirrels come from butchers who are supplied by gamekeepers who trap grey squirrels to try to protect Britain's declining native red squirrels. ewwwwwww
