I agree, Dora. We watch, sometimes we read the recipe, and then we go our “merry way.” That’s why cooking is more art than science.

As a person who loves to cook, I find the article of yours very interesting. Gave me some tips I never thought of…(we all have our own style/way of doing things.) However, it’s kinda nice to know how the oldtimers of long ago did their thing! Many thanks for sharing. I first learned to cook from my Dad, then of course my Mom and even my grandmother! They all had their own style but I enjoyed watching and asked a lot of question….then I went my “merry way”..:) 🙂 🙂 Tnx..xoxoxodk

I tend to agree — although I don’t think I’d trap the animal in the first place. Too much of a city girl. Thanks for commenting.

Rombauer first published in 1931. In addition to rabbit & squirrel there is bear, raccoon, muskrat, woodchuck, beaver, peccary, wild boar, & opossum. Re. ‘possum it says “If possible, trap ‘possum & feed it on milk & cereal for 10 days before killing it.” Today if I fed an animal for 10 days it would take on the status of “pet” and therefore not show up on my dinner table.
