Britney Spears spurs squirrel meat sales
According to a new biography, pop singer Britney Spears grew up in Louisiana on squirrel meat hunted by her dad, Jaime. Now her fans are following in her footsteps and grabbing up squirrel meat.
Apparently squirrels, possums, and other roadkill were popular in Britney’s trailer park in Louisiana. Her fans are reading about it in her biography, titled “Britney: Inside The Dream”, by British author Steve Dennis, and following in the blond nutcase’s footsteps.
Squirrel meat is considered a favored meat in certain regions of the United States[16] where it can be listed as wild game. This is evidenced by extensive recipes for its preparation found in cookbooks, including older copies of The Joy of Cooking. Squirrel meat can be exchanged for rabbit or chicken in recipes, though it can have a gamey taste. Unlike the healthfulness of most game meat, the American Heart Association has found squirrels to be high in cholesterol.
