The Times wasn't kidding when it said squirrels were all the rage in England.

According to the Telegraph of London, British potato-chip company Walkers has introduced a "Cajun squirrel" trial flavor, one of several that may eventually become permanent.

In a promotional video, Martyn Wright, a man who is said to have been "constantly harassed by cheeky squirrels" before he came up with the most blechtacular idea since the PickleSickle, assures that no squirrels are harmed in the making of the chips --  which means they may soon be available at your local gourmet store!
