Pot-roast for the economically challenged chef

Dinner for the start into the new year, an economically challenged year, if I may say so, may have to be on the lean and readily available side..
Here is a possibility that is rarely considered:

Squirrel

Read the NY times article, it is definitely interesting to hear what british chefs came up with and why. :)

In Wisconsin, it is a more common entertainment for fall to hunt squirrels for dinner - read the details of how to track, shoot and field-dress them, and how to finally prepare them for tasty consumption.
I'm sure there are many other ways to deal with them - I heard Kentucky-Tennnessee traditions that involve baking the head - but they carry a Creutzfeldt-Jakob variant that I personally would rather no want to ingest.

Either way, be prepared for the lean times, look out for those little pot-roasts! :)
