Squirrel pie is simply a squirrel meat pie, generally a pot pie or a hand pie made with shredded and chopped squirrel meat and various other fillers. Around here, though, most folks just eat fried squirrel, dumplings, and gravy.
It is great to have you back. Glad you were okay because of the hurricane. Looking forward to what happens next. I have said this before. When I watch your videos you always inspire me to go out and improve my shop. Got to finish air line routings. Be safe and have fun.
Gladto see that you survived. My wife has a good friend in Piney Flats who is getting ready to build in Jonesborough. It does cause my heart to ache to see the damage in the towns east of you where my wife and I have really enjoyed riding our motorcycles.
They sure built things well 25yrs ago. Was a little worried when you was inside the building with the machine. But figured you knew what you was doing 🥴. Enjoy your videos. Keep it up. Stay Blessed 😇🙏🙏🙏.
Good job Nathan, thanks for sharing with us. Glad you are getting things alined for the new building. Looking good around there. Stay safe and keep up the good videos. Fred.
I've made and eaten squirrel stew, aka Brunswick Stew, but never squirrel pie. But no reason it wouldn't be similar to chicken pot pie. Just remember, squirrels work for a living and need to be cooked slow, moist, and long for the meat to be tender.
Nathan, my wife makes the best squirrel pot pie you[ve ever eaten. Our church had a "Wild Game Banquet" for 25 years and her squirrel pot pie was the most loved of all the dishes we served. Squirrel is cooked in a crock pot first until it falls off the bone. Meat is then picked out from the bones and added to vegetables she cooks with chicken stock and she adds flour like you make gravy, then milk until it gets a thick consistency. Then all this is poured into a large baking dish and a pie crust is added to the top and placed in the oven until golden brown. Oh, my, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
I live in Louisiana and the folks over in Washington Parish, LA talk about squirrel pie. A friend of mine from there invited me to a squirrel hunt, which used to be one of my favorite pastimes and he owned a dairy farm out there. We were to meet him at his place at 5AM. We had a very successful hunt and we got into some big old fox (red) squirrels. He told me that they were just right for a squirrel pie, and wanted to know if I liked it that way. I had to tell him that I loved squirrel gravy over white rice, like most of us Cajuns do here, but I had never had squirrel pie, but told him I thought sugar would not set well with squirrel. He told me right quick that sugar, or any other sweetening was used in it! He said that if I would stay for lunch he'd fix one. I took him up on it and it turned out that the dish he fixed was squirrel and dumplings!!! I had been eating it all my life, but never had heard it called squirrel pie. Of course it was wonderful!!!
Love that rooster... makes your place a "farm"... Glad you (and the rooster) and your family are safe. missed your posts....and I still love the rooster even after 3 days watching you here and him squawking at you each day
Glad to see you back and every thing was good with the storm T hat demo work is always a mess . I did some of that after I retired and moved here my friend hired me to go back to las Vegas to work with him and his crew to do demo and concert . I went 6 times and the wife said no more . of cores I was 20 years younger now I'm 83. Lookin good
Glad to see another video. Hearing the hurricane made it so far inland and not seeing a video from you in a couple weeks had me a bit worried you caught the brunt of it.
I remember reading that recipe in a Victorian era cookbook one of my English relatives had years ago. the cookbook had recipes in it going back to the late 1600s .
Great to see you back on Nathan! Shot a lot of squirrels and made a few belts but never ate one. I had always heard if you don't get the musk glands from under the arms the meat spoils real fast. Couldn't tell you. Missed the PB Show but was thinking of you and hoping somebody brought the coffee. Also real glad Helene did not give you too much trouble other than the nasty rain they had you hold up for the week. Looking forward to catching up!
I've heard of Squirrel Pie - I was born and raised in Amish Country, plus my grandfather owned a 72-acre farm with 10 acres of woods on it - mom talked about eating it and groundhog also
Hi! Thanks for this post. I’ve been a subscriber of yours almost since day 1. Here m in Melbourne Australia (10000 miles from you),we never experience weather conditions like yours. An absolute eye-opener! Cheers,
Glad to have had the opportunity to say a short hi at Paul Bunyan. Was right as you where loading up on Sunday. We made the drive from way way out west.
Grandma, from northeast Ohio, used to make squirrel pot pie with any squirrels we shot in the fall. Made with fresh garden vegetables, and dumplings, it was quite tasty. She was born in 1904, the end of the horse era, and lived through the depression. She was very frugal, and could stretch a nickel to a dime,
Nathan, you're getting gooder and gooder with that Kato. Welcome back buddy. Oh, I've had squirrel and dumplings, but not pie or stew...sounds good though. Jim
Fall is squirrel season here in Southern Ontario. They are at their tastiest with all the fresh nuts available. We use a pie crust filled with squirrels, potatoes, carrots and onions. Always add a splash of beer then top with pie crust and bake. Tummy is growling writing this.
I grew up in the Shenandoah valley of Virginia, but now live in north Myrtle Beach, SC. We frequently had squirrel pot pie, certainly the same as squirrel pie. Quite a delicacy back in the day, but only when I got out into the woods to harvest the rascals. Daily harvest limit was 6, but that made a very fine squirrel pot pie.
Well Nathan, you knocked it the stuffing out of that building! I would go over to that rooster and say, "You see what remains of that building? ...you're next!" Good luck with the new toy, looks like its gonna make some nice boards. Great video thumbs.
I recall my grandmother making fried squirrel and rabbit but not a in potpie. its great to watch a good old country boy working inside the building he is trying to knock down. Stay safe on the farm.
Great to see all OK after the storm. Apparently fancy trendy restaurants in London serve squirrel also one near me in Manchester. Don't fancy it myself would not want to chase one up a tree for the amount of meat on them.
Bays Mountain had a nearly 5' oak come down in the storm. They would like to have a cross section of it for the nature center, but they don't have a saw capable of cutting it cleanly. I'm not sure if you're interested in either cutting it or drying it for them, but If you are, give them a call. It was originally a double trunk (two piths) and from the rings I can count, it's probably north of 300 years old.
My great aunt use to make it and all it is is like chicken pot pie but she cooked a bunch of squirrels in a pressure cooker and deboned them then made it into a big pot pie in a big rectangle pan it was good one time she used canned rabbit and it was good too
You and ZZ Mark are pretty interested in squirrel pie. By father used to eat it back in the day made with onions, potatoes, carrots, peas, and whatever he had for leftover from other meals. I haven’t had it for years but it actually was pretty good tasting.
I could find that pipe with 2 welding rods bent 90° where one part is long and the other end are just long enough to go to the bottom of your hand. You hold them with your hands close and the rods straight in front of you. Walk perpendicular to where you think the pipe may be going. Once tou cross where the pipe is buried the rods will move outward from each other. You can hold them shoulder-width apart too. When you cross the pipe the rods will come together.
Well Nathan, I gue3ss one could say you must have had a SMASHING TIME pulling the old building down to be replaced by a new & larger one. The rooster seemed to object to the demolition. Good video to watch. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
Regarding the Rooster..: I believe soon after the rooster irritated me.. my family and I would be having a chicken dinner with mash potatoes and gravy,,, but you do you.. I enjoy your videos..
I’ve heard of squirrel pot pie instead of chicken pot pie. Even dove pot pie, here in S.E. Pa. Nathan. I’ve had chicken pot pie many times but never had the opportunity to try squirrel pot pie. I e heard it’s mighty fine. Also So Glad you didn’t have the super nasty weather! Thanks Kindly, Great Music and Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
My grandmother made squirrel pie with squirrels I brought home in my early teens. Grandpa taught me how to prepare them and grandma cooked them with biscuits and gravy, like a pot pie. Very tasty dish. We had a couple of years with a population explosion. They were invading the barn to eat the grain for dairy cows, stripping the hickory nuts, eating corn out of the silage in the bunker silo.
I grew up in Waynesville/Maggie Valley, NC and I remember my grandmother baking what she called a squirrel pie. It looked like a normal pie except it contained meat. My mother said that it could be made with any kind of meat to include squirrel. If you were hungry, it tasted real good. My first bite must have been prepared with chicken because it tasted about the same as the modern-day chicken pot pie.
Teen years I’d shoot mom would make the pie. Similar to chicken pot pie. Biggest difference was the seasoning. Indeed was good been many a year since I’ve tasted that squirrel pie. Now I’m seventy eight things are going good just miss mom and the pie. Thanks for sharing your life. Much enjoyment. Garry
Squirrel pie, dove pie, quail pie, wild turkey pie. I've had it all. Pretty tasty! I'm not the cook though. I'm the test taster. I don't much care for tree rat (squirrel) anymore though. Just don't have a taste for it anymore since I got older. Rabbit is super good. Thanks!
Squirrel Pot Pie Is Delicious Squirrel meat is tasty! Some people think it tastes a little like chicken. I think it tastes kind of sweet and resembles a good cross between duck and lamb. When cooked right, it is also tender. This Southern Squirrel Pot Pie recipe is one of my favorite ways to showcase the unique flavor of this often-overlooked meat choice!
I've had squirrel pot pie from recipes in "Guide to Cooking Fish and Game" put out by the Missouri Department of Conservation in the 1970's. It's still available on Amazon.
Hay Bud, im glad you didn't have much damage, i got lucky too, (just outside of Elizabethton). I'm wondering what town you're in. I see you have alot of work to do before you're set up & ready to mill again. But might have some walnut log to mill up. I had one blow down in the storm, and working on cutting it off the little shed ha. Taking my time, cuz im old ; )
I am in south west Missouri and 54. My grandmother used to make squirrel pie occasionally. It was a flaky style pie crust on top and bottom. A dark brown gravy. And picked squirrel meat, so no bones. She slow cooked the squirrel, picked it off, made the gravy, then baked it like a fruit pie. It was good, but they were better fried and a lot less work.
sounds as if Earl need to go by the way of the Dixie Chicks song, or possibly Sunday supper ..... glad to know that you and your family are ok, and no damages from Hellene.
Squirrel pie was a pot pie made with squirrel back in the day. Never had any, but my grandparents talked about it, apparently it was pretty good. By the time I came along Grandpa wasn't hunting anymore, and Grandma used to make the same recipe but with chicken. Chicken pot pie, essentially. Just grab the noisiest one from the coop... :)
We do a lot of squirrel hunting here in ohio. I prefer to fry my squirrel. But my dad cooked up squirrel many different ways. He preferred to make squirrel and dumplings basically the same as chicken and dumplings but instead of chicken you use squirrel. Squirrel pot pie is pretty good too.
Squirrel pie was quite common in the northern part of New York my grandfather and his brothers would hunt them and Grandma would make squirrel pie. My Farther recalls. I’ve never had it personally. I did have wood chuck stew any time we shot a woodchuck Grandma wanted it to make stew. It was quite tasty. Haven’t had it sense the late 80’s though

Glad your back, and all is well.
Earl sounds offended by your comment about chickens scratching the metal.
I must say, I think the rooster in the background, makes it sound like a real farm, even tho he hates you.
Thanks for sharing.
I missed you Nathan, glad you are OK. Hope your family is also safe and well. Very best wishes from England (Not UK)
Squirrel pie is simply a squirrel meat pie, generally a pot pie or a hand pie made with shredded and chopped squirrel meat and various other fillers. Around here, though, most folks just eat fried squirrel, dumplings, and gravy.
yes yes, I have had Dumplings much I have had Fregat's but Dumplings I like them too. I wouldn't pass them by.
I’m not at all surprised your farm won, Nathan! Glad you are all safe.
It is great to have you back. Glad you were okay because of the hurricane. Looking forward to what happens next. I have said this before. When I watch your videos you always inspire me to go out and improve my shop. Got to finish air line routings. Be safe and have fun.
Gladto see that you survived. My wife has a good friend in Piney Flats who is getting ready to build in Jonesborough. It does cause my heart to ache to see the damage in the towns east of you where my wife and I have really enjoyed riding our motorcycles.
They sure built things well 25yrs ago. Was a little worried when you was inside the building with the machine. But figured you knew what you was doing 🥴. Enjoy your videos. Keep it up. Stay Blessed 😇🙏🙏🙏.
Good job Nathan, thanks for sharing with us. Glad you are getting things alined for the new building. Looking good around there. Stay safe and keep up the good videos. Fred.
Squirrel pie / stew was big on the Blue Ridge back in the day.
I've made and eaten squirrel stew, aka Brunswick Stew, but never squirrel pie. But no reason it wouldn't be similar to chicken pot pie. Just remember, squirrels work for a living and need to be cooked slow, moist, and long for the meat to be tender.
Look up Brunswick stew.
we still eat it the Uk but are frowned upon by conservation nutters.
Nathan, my wife makes the best squirrel pot pie you[ve ever eaten. Our church had a "Wild Game Banquet" for 25 years and her squirrel pot pie was the most loved of all the dishes we served.

IT has to be GREAT!!!

The wife and I just bought a piece of property with a Troyer building on it, very nice building. And their yard is right down the road from us
Was wondering how you made out after that hurricane came through. Glad to see you are okay.
Love that rooster... makes your place a "farm"... Glad you (and the rooster) and your family are safe. missed your posts....and I still love the rooster even after 3 days watching you here and him squawking at you each day
Glad to see you back at it and that Helene didn't do much damage. We just had Milton come through Florida and we were lucky also.
Glad to see you back and every thing was good with the storm T hat demo work is always a mess .

WAIT! think about water for your future cattle. Don't do anything you're gonna regret later.... love your content
Glad you guys are ok! I thought about you.
Glad you made out well. I was wondering what was going on with you all.
Glad you wasn't in the path of storm. Stay safe!
Glad to see another video. Hearing the hurricane made it so far inland and not seeing a video from you in a couple weeks had me a bit worried you caught the brunt of it.
Good to see you again. Wa s a bit worried 😊
I remember reading that recipe in a Victorian era cookbook one of my English relatives had years ago. the cookbook had recipes in it going back to the late 1600s .
The best part of Squirrel pie is the nuts!
😂
Must be a male squirrel
You are nuttier than squirrel shit.😂😂
Great to see you back on Nathan! Shot a lot of squirrels and made a few belts but never ate one. I had always heard if you don't get the musk glands from under the arms the meat spoils real fast. Couldn't tell you. Missed the PB Show but was thinking of you and hoping somebody brought the coffee. Also real glad Helene did not give you too much trouble other than the nasty rain they had you hold up for the week. Looking forward to catching up!
Glad you’re ok after Helene!
I do not often see you in a 'destructive mode', but it is fun watching!!!
So sorry to see that old building going away…I remember when you first started out there 👍🏻🤔😢
Good Luck With the new Building
Nice to see you back 👍👍
I was almost expecting him to drive the Kato through the walls like the Kool-Aid man.
OH YEAH !
I've heard of Squirrel Pie - I was born and raised in Amish Country, plus my grandfather owned a 72-acre farm with 10 acres of woods on it - mom talked about eating it and groundhog also
Hi! Thanks for this post. I’ve been a subscriber of yours almost since day 1. Here m in Melbourne Australia (10000 miles from you),we never experience weather conditions like yours. An absolute eye-opener! Cheers,
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing with the new building, and yes I have heard of squirrel pie it's just like a chicken pot pie,,it went further with the veggies 😋
Glad to have had the opportunity to say a short hi at Paul Bunyan.
Was right as you where loading up on Sunday.
We made the drive from way way out west.
My neighbor has a Troyer Post building. Excellent craftsmanship and very durable. You will like it.😊
Very cool!😎
Nice to see you at the PB show Nathan....thanks again for the hints.
No problem 👍

Nathan,another excellent piece of video and amazingly the cement pad is completely free for the new building 👍😮😊❤
Congrats on the equipment expansion! You and Yours stay safe Brother!
Nathan, you're getting gooder and gooder with that Kato. Welcome back buddy. Oh, I've had squirrel and dumplings, but not pie or stew...sounds good though. Jim
Nathan, that looks like a whole lotta work!
Hey, brother. Great video as always! Good job on cleaning up that old mess! I know you're excited about your new building so congratulations! Chip

Yes, I have heard of squirrel stew. I live in Northern Vermont and we have an abundance of grey squirrels which I have eaten since I was a young boy
Demolition always brings a smile to my face. I like how you are using the excavator.
Well Nathan, you knocked it the stuffing out of that building! I would go over to that rooster and say, "You see what remains of that building? ...you're next!" Good luck with the new toy, looks like its gonna make some nice boards. Great video thumbs.
I recall my grandmother making fried squirrel and rabbit but not a in potpie. its great to watch a good old country boy working inside the building he is trying to knock down. Stay safe on the farm.
I was going to comment you could get a nibbler for your battery powered drill, but then you were using one. Amazing device!!!
Sweet squirrel pie ala mode is my favorite! Hang in there Nathan!
Great to see all OK after the storm. Apparently fancy trendy restaurants in London serve squirrel also one near me in Manchester. Don't fancy it myself would not want to chase one up a tree for the amount of meat on them.
That was a lot of work. I look forward to what takes its place.
Excited for the new building. As for the pie, ain’t had it but sounds delicious and I’m in on it!!!!
You and me both!
Don’t know about squirrel pie, but my mother’s late 50s pressure cooker book had a recipe for squirrel pie. Involved cutting it up into 1 inch cubes
just glad you are well...say hello to Bruno!
Bays Mountain had a nearly 5' oak come down in the storm. They would like to have a cross section of it for the nature center, but they don't have a saw capable of cutting it cleanly. I'm not sure if you're interested in either cutting it or drying it for them, but If you are, give them a call. It was originally a double trunk (two piths) and from the rings I can count, it's probably north of 300 years old.
I've never torn down a building bigger than a small shed, but that seemed harder than it should have been. 😅 Thank God you got it down (mostly LOL).
I used to hunt squirrels with a slingshot and make gumbo, it was pretty good, but I haven't had squirrel pie.
Nice job Nathan!!!! You did a great job !!!!!!!!
My great aunt use to make it and all it is is like chicken pot pie but she cooked a bunch of squirrels in a pressure cooker and deboned them then made it into a big pot pie in a big rectangle pan it was good one time she used canned rabbit and it was good too

Yes I grew up eating a lot of squirrel. Mom made pot pie using squirrel meat. Delicious 😊
My grandmother made squirrel pie with squirrels I brought home in my early teens. Grandpa taught me how to prepare them and grandma cooked them with biscuits and gravy, like a pot pie.

No. Haven't heard of it either, of course I was raised in Alaska.
Slow baked squirrel pie fills the belly.
Job well done Nathan.
From the NW But had a from Arkansas while living in Phoenix. Squirrel pie Yum !🥹
Looked like Mr. Kato had fun demolishing that old rabbit hut.
google Chicken and sausage gumbo!! Might look into it. Could really quiet down your mornings!! Looking forward to seeing the new building.
Try wyching for the water line? Turn the tap on and 2 bent wires.
So many great construction stories start with searching for utilities with an excavator and end with "Just one more bucket."😆
Teen years I’d shoot mom would make the pie. Similar to chicken pot pie. Biggest difference was the seasoning. Indeed was good been many a year since I’ve tasted that squirrel pie. Now I’m seventy eight things are going good just miss mom and the pie.
Thanks for sharing your life. Much enjoyment.

I've had the same. I've also had opossum pie. Those that I've had were like a chicken pot pie, just different meat.
Good to see you, I was worried about you!
The man from Tennessee all ways Busy. 😄👍👍
Squirrel pie is just a pie crust with squirrel stew , can have a lattice crust or completely covered.
Nice moulder/planer.
Thanks!
Nothing but quality here
In central Pennsylvania, meat pie is made in the oven, and pot pie is made in a pot. Your choice of meats, ham, chicken, goose, squirrel. Etc.
Squirrel Pot Pie Is Delicious
Squirrel meat is tasty! Some people think it tastes a little like chicken. I think it tastes kind of sweet and resembles a good cross between duck and lamb. When cooked right, it is also tender. This Southern Squirrel Pot Pie recipe is one of my favorite ways to showcase the unique flavor of this often-overlooked meat choice!
I'm up here in Canada and I love Squirrel pie almost as much as hair pie 😂
Well Nathan, I noticed your 'hated nemesis' rooster now has a name! You ol' softie, you'll never cook him now 😂❤
Good one!
Andrew would have had that building down in about 20 minutes. But then he’s taken down more than a few buildings. You done good for a first time demo.
I've had squirrel pot pie from recipes in "Guide to Cooking Fish and Game" put out by the Missouri Department of Conservation in the 1970's. It's still available on Amazon.
Glad you’re getting a new building up. That old one looks like it’s about used up.
Hay Bud, im glad you didn't have much damage, i got lucky too, (just outside of Elizabethton). I'm wondering what town you're in. I see you have alot of work to do before you're set up & ready to mill again. But might have some walnut log to mill up. I had one blow down in the storm, and working on cutting it off the little shed ha. Taking my time, cuz im old ; )
If you've ever had Shepard pie it's the same thing but it has Squirrel meat in it
I am in south west Missouri and 54. My grandmother used to make squirrel pie occasionally. It was a flaky style pie crust on top and bottom. A dark brown gravy. And picked squirrel meat, so no bones. She slow cooked the squirrel, picked it off, made the gravy, then baked it like a fruit pie.
It was good, but they were better fried and a lot less work.
sounds as if Earl need to go by the way of the Dixie Chicks song, or possibly Sunday supper ..... glad to know that you and your family are ok, and no damages from Hellene.
Well, you’re no Johnny Jett, but good job pulling that roof off! 😁
Squirrel pie was a pot pie made with squirrel back in the day. Never had any, but my grandparents talked about it, apparently it was pretty good. By the time I came along Grandpa wasn't hunting anymore, and Grandma used to make the same recipe but with chicken. Chicken pot pie, essentially. Just grab the noisiest one from the coop... :)
Just in time to listen while in the wood pile
We do a lot of squirrel hunting here in ohio. I prefer to fry my squirrel. But my dad cooked up squirrel many different ways. He preferred to make squirrel and dumplings basically the same as chicken and dumplings but instead of chicken you use squirrel. Squirrel pot pie is pretty good too.
Squirrel pie was quite common in the northern part of New York my grandfather and his brothers would hunt them and Grandma would make squirrel pie. My Farther recalls. I’ve never had it personally. I did have wood chuck stew any time we shot a woodchuck Grandma wanted it to make stew. It was quite tasty. Haven’t had it sense the late 80’s though
