Squirrel-stuffed pasties from Cornwall? [6]
The Cornish Truro company , producing the so-called traditional stuffed pastry. Cornish pasty (a type of baked large pie), introduced the variety of fillings from the gray squirrel
Gray squirrels imported from United States prevailed in the UK and displace native species of red, which are under protection. The proportion of gray to red is 70 to 1
In contrast to the red and gray squirrels are less fastidious in eating, are not particularly shy and quickly multiply. Also adapt well to life in the city. They are the terror of domestic gardens, where the empty bird feeders and dig up the seedlings.
The Cornish Food Box Company advertises its new product as a healthy and environmentally friendly. Lucy Jones, owner of the company claims that the Cornish meat pie with a squirrel fell to the customers taste.
- Some think that the gray squirrel is sweet and cute, but the same can be said about lambs for example, and no one except the vegetarians there is reluctance to eat them - he adds.
Part of the profit from the sale of new product Cornish has spent on the protection of endangered red squirrels.
