Have any of you ever/ have anyone in your knowledge ever tried squirrel’s meat?

So my roomie (a karnatika) was saying that malayalies in her office says that certain part of Kerala, consumes squirrels. Well, on my defence “ I DONT KNOW MAN DESPITE LIVING THERE FOR YEARS” . Is it really true?Or were they trying to make fun of her? I mean she would die than agreeing with me.
