Rose Colgan recipe notebook 1907

hi Trevor
here is the Stewed Rabbit recipe from my Grandmother's notebook.

Marion Caccianiga's Rabbit Stew

On the 20th of September 2012 I spent a week with Rodney and Marion Caccianiga on their wheat farm  called 'The Pines'.

Their property is large and spread out, but their house is located on Daytrap Rd, which is a short drive from Manangatang (a remote town in north-west Victoria, Australia).

During my stay I was taken 'spotlighting' which involved shooting at rabbits from the back of a ute.

Some of the rabbits who died during the course of the evening were declared fit to eat.

The following evening, thanks to Marion's culinary skills, everyone got to try some of her famous rabbit stew.

*I believe that the recipe (above) is Marion's mum's, and that young rabbits are best. Enjoy!

Dear Veronica Nicholson, 

Thanks for posting your grandmother's Raspberry bun recipe from her 1907 cook book. 
Seeing your pictures and excerpts from your grandmother's original recipe book got me inspired... so this morning I made a batch for breakfast! 

Mine didn't look nearly as appealing as your beautifully photographed creations, but they certainly tasted great. Many thanks for sharing the recipe. 

Isn't it nice to revive these old, cherished recipes.

I made a 'vine' (6 second video) of me recreating your recipe in my mum's kitchen... for those who don't have time to experience the whole process...
