Squirrel Stew

Cultural Context

Squirrel stew has roots in rural American cooking, particularly in the South and Midwest, where it was a practical way to utilize game meat. Traditionally, it was made during hunting season and served as a hearty meal for families. Today, it remains a nostalgic dish for many, often associated with outdoor cooking and communal meals. While less common in urban areas, it has seen a resurgence among those interested in foraging and sustainable eating practices.
