 A Glasgow restaurant has found a solution to the problem of the grey squirrel - roast them and serve with pasta and spinach.
Stravaigin, in the city's West End, first experimented during a ‘wild food' evening. Now they are going to put squirrel on their menu as much as possible. Squirrel tortellini will be served as one of their starters for £6.45.
The restaurants head chef, Andy Mitchell, had served up the dish as part of a five-course wild food set menu. The squirrels were roasted to create the tortellini and accompanied by other wild dishes such as breast of rook and carpaccio of roe deer.
They served 150 dinners over the initial two-evening run - all of whom ate the squirrel. They were surprised how nice it tasted - somewhat similar to rabbit. |

A Glasgow Indian restaurant has insured for £20,000 what they believe to be an original piece of work by legendary street artist Banksy - found painted in their back-yard.
Staff at the Nakodar Grill in Dennistoun had been clearing up their back yard when they uncovered a rat painted on a wall that had been covered for years by weeds. They believe the rat formed part of a bigger picture that has been painted over.
Boss Johnnie Ginda said, "We found this faded work of a rat with Banksy's stamp, about a foot long, beside it. We couldn't believe our eyes. Many people are having a curry with their Banksy viewing. It has been fantastic for business - we have decided to frame and alarm it to protect the work." |
