BrewDog is a brewery and not a specific beer. They are surrounded in controversy and apparently still under investigation by the Unite union.

Sounds ominous … they’re aren’t really putting squirrels in their beer are they!

Not an ale for those with a sensitive stomach … 
Supposedly, in the “old days”, rats died in the beer and cider vessels and were, allegedly, helpful to the process …

I’ve heard that of cider down here in the West Country!

I thought that was hedgehogs.
edit: I see someone else has mentioned this.

I’ve put this video up before but I love the idea of surviving in the wilds of Kent sometimes as far as 10 minutes from the nearest Tesco.
Basically it is just eating a rat.

But I like squirrels … so if push came to shove for some meat to eat, I might as well eat a cat or a dog than a squirrel as there’s more meat on it.

Yes, but meat eating animals don’t taste very nice if there is a choice.

Don’t they ?
Well you live and learn… I’m not even going to ask how you know.

That’s a new one to me too. Never knew that, and am racking my brain to see if I’ve ever eaten a carnivore.

Actually, now Bruce has told us that I find it more than a little alarming that the current trend is to start giving our pet dogs vegan food.

If last week’s the Apprentice is anything to go by, future pet food protein may well increasingly come from insects being used.

Hang on … what about cattle that are fed offal? Wasn’t that how Mad Cow Disease started? Or does Bruce literally mean that eat meat as in meat.

I have only ever tried a fox and it was many decades ago (actually over half a century ago) out in the middle of nowhere. It smelled foul while cooking and tasted disgusting. Most of the time we ate rabbit but occasionally small roos (it was legal to shoot them then).
Never eaten dog or cat so my “knowledge” is based on this one incident.
Over the years I have tried allsorts of foods but my one real gastronomic failure was in Cambodia when I bought some deep fried cockroaches and grasshoppers from a road side stall. I really tried but I could not bring myself to put a cochroach in my mouth. total failure!

I missed it but Mr M said it looked … gloopy … and not like the tasty chunks with jelly that any self respecting dog likes to wolf down.

True, but that’s because it was over blended by the contestant.

Oh I shuddered reading that … then thought … but don’t more than a few people eat roadkill?

Not all roadkilled animals are carnivores

True … but I bet some are pretty rank and infested with tapeworms and other nasty things.
I suppose pigs are another one … they just swill down any load of rubbish. Makes you wonder what they feed them.

Yes, especially if they see it hit but most road kill here is kangaroos and the occasional wombat both are vegans.
I always hope to hit a young deer because I love venison, have come close but no dinner yet
