I have not had the pleasure to be treated to a squirrel stew. You would need more than one squirrel for a stew to serve four, I think. Although you can find a recipe that calls for one squirrel, it only serves 2 - 3. Rabbits are almost the ideal family meal size, typically running from 4 to 10 lbs. I remember my first grandmother serving them dressed (with stuffing inside) like turkeys on a platter, and grandpa carving at the head of the table. Grandma Anna died young, and grandma Helen was with us after the rabbits were gone. Grandma Helen did a tasty turkey, though. We raised rabbits on the farm until the do-gooders came along and outlawed it. I had a pretty black one with a single white spot on her forehead as a pet and we didn't eat that one. She died in an accident, however. We had a flock of chickens as well, all gone now. Now they (Detroit) wish they had something, anything, on that land. Bastards. >> Paul Hill wrote: >>> On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 8:32 AM, Pete Theisen <[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>>> http://cigarettesmokingblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/lessons-from-my-not-entirely-successful.html >>>> >>>> 1.
