Never tried squirrel
The old saying from my family is that squirrel tastes like a bushy tailed rat. People then asks what does a bushy tailed rat taste like? Like squirrel. LOL. My maternal grandfather was a farmer all his life, he was born in 1910 and by the age of 20 he had his own place and hunting and fishing was not done for relaxation or sport it was done for protein, for meat. So all us grandkids grew up eating a variety of game. What I always heard from my mother was they almost never had beef or steak when she was young because cattle were raised to be sold for cash. They almost always ate pork and chicken, and tons of raised on the farm vegetables. One of the meals I grew up with that was a family tradition and one that many I know from this area also had: beans with fatback in it, fried squash, fried okra, cornbread and new potatoes with not a bit of meat except the fatback in the beans for flavoring.
