Squirrel are fantastic.

They’re the least “gamey” out of most small game, less so than rabbit, and taste something like leaner dark meat chicken.

Awesome in a crockpot substituted for chicken in most recipes. Can fancy up squirrel with a Sous vide to make squirrel confit bánh mì tacos, or keep it old school and make squirrel pot pie.

Yeah, furthermore (from Wikipedia):

In Lingua Franca (the specific language), lingua is from the Italian for ‘a language’. Franca is related to Greek Φρᾰ́γκοι (Phránkoi) and Arabic إِفْرَنْجِي (ʾifranjiyy) as well as the equivalent Italian—in all three cases, the literal sense is ‘Frankish’, leading to the direct translation: ‘language of the Franks’. During the late Byzantine Empire, Franks was a term that applied to all Western Europeans.

So if anything, it’s (roughly) Italian, Greek, and Arabic for “language of the Western Europeans”.
