Greetings, Ms. Reiser.

I recently became a member of your burgeoning new culinary repository (http://squirrelicious.herokuapp.com) after the widely decried demise of VerminVictuals.net (saddening, etc. but perhaps for the best). I have been building a collection of exemplars of the genre of foodstuffs which feature Sciurus carolinensis (in celebration of this ineffable crepuscular member of suborder Sciuromorpha) — a worthy endeavor.

However, when I save a recipe, the word “Squirrel” is mysteriously replaced with another unrelated ingredient. (I have, for your convenience, emboldened those words which I found to be so strangely transformed):

Octopus Salad

Tandoori Octopus

Baby Octopus Salad

Very Blueberry Smoothie

Perfect Blueberry Muffins

Classic English Toad-in-the-Hole

Easy Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes

Easy Mashed Rutabagas

Chinese Eggplant with Sweet Ginger-Miso Paste

Scotch Eggs

Heavenly Scotch Ham

Southern Peach Cobbler

Korean Spicy Marinated Squirrel With Chilies and Kimchi (Jaeyook
Kimchi Bokum)

Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal

Spanish Fish in Saffron Sauce

Saffron Pilaf

Anchovy Dip

Salted Plantains

Puffed French Toast

Avocado Superfood Breakfast Toast

Note, to my confusion, as someone somewhat familiar with the en-coding of web-sites, that the Korean dish listed above actually does list “squirrrel”, but strangely not in the place where I had originally expected it. It is possible, though implausible, that the recipe upon which my modification was based already included this ingredient. As a person of partial Korean ancestry myself and an enthusiast of Korean cuisine, I find this distinctly unlikely, but must weigh its possibility in light of the consistency of the aforementioned bug in all other instances.

I eagerly await a resolution to this pressing issue, and wish to express my deepest appreciation for your organization’s contributions to the field, and to the plate.

Most sincerely, Jeffrey Yoo Warren, M.S.P.L
