directions

  • Remove legs from body of dressed rabbit or squirrel.
  • Split the body down the back through the breast.
  • Cut each half in two crosswise.
  • Dip meat pieces in melted butter.
  • Roll pieces into crushed corn flakes coating all around.
  • Brown meat in hot oil on each side.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour.
  • Note: Some people like to soak the meat in salted water a few hours before cooking.
  • If so cover the body with water in a pot and add 3 Tablespoons of salt.
  • Then drain, rinse, and pat the body dry before cooking.
  • I often do this especially if the animal appears to be old.

  1. Don't let the the hair touch the meat. This will prevent a really gamey taste.

I’m over the hill and heading down the back side at a rapid rate it seems, single, and retired now. My loves? Good friends, most of all. After that I guess it would be wildlife and photographing it. In fact, I love anything that deals with wild animals and the outdoors. Then comes playing with my dog and making a mess trying to cook in the kitchen or around the fire pit, grill or smoker while enjoying a good tumbler of whiskey (whisky).
