Once you shave it, there isn’t much left to eat though.

These things are so fat calorie dense 1 feeds 4 people, you need to eat potatoes with them to absorb the fat. They are the gamiest little buggers too.

How's the taste compared to other meat? The smallest critters I've eaten were probably rabbit meat and they're lean asf.

It is on the gamier side, very fatty but that can be rendered out with crisping up.
