Dan... all we had were red squirrels. Never seen a fox or a black one. Never seen a grey one until I went away to uni. And, my fav rabbit recipe is hopping away from me. Had a bad experience. Used to have a snare line and sell em when I was 12 until one day... and I only killed a rabbit once after that. Mum wouldn't allow them in the house so I never ate one execpt over a fire.

Rap... of course ya remove the feet... the claws make fer good toothpicks. And, as far as eatin fir... ah, nevermind.

In NY and in PA you were allowed 6 per day during small game season. My budding Garry and I would go out come back with twelve of them and have a feast .. I am surprised you never did that GNU ... incredible .. Just use your favorite rabbit recipe. Like I said back home in PA that was the thing, far better than any deer you ever had. Leanest meat on the planet, very tender, very sweet taste, incredible actually. I know I know some people are gagging right now but I am telling the truth

You didn't cook it right. First off, ya gotta take the fur off and the insides out. Just those two will help a lot with the taste. Helps to remove the head, feet, and tail too.

Squirrel? The ones who's nuts are close to the ground? YEECCHHH!!! I was in the backwoods for a couple of days and had nuthin left ta eat cept an apple. So, I used it as bait. A red squirrel grabbed it an scampered up to a pine branch to have a munch so I shot the little bushy tailed rat to get my apple back. I felt bad and remembered my old man's golden rule... don't shoot nuthin ya ain't gonna eat. Made a fire, roasted the rat on a stick, took one bite, spit it out and ate the apple. I can still taste the musk. And the robin was just as bad. I finally had to bring myself to take a rabbit... there were lots of rabbits but I just didn't want to kill any... that's a long story.

Maybe Reds are different? In any case, new rule... no red skwerl.

Not quite topsie with damson cheese, you push the mixture through a medium sieve rather than allow it to drain through muslin (actually my mother uses tights but..) and as with a jelly, it is the "liquid" part that is boiled up with sugar.

Note the letter in the comments of my last post...Oh well, here it is:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am CHEF Julius Ojeh Iwegbu, Head Stuart of the Nigeria Hilton Hotel. I have urgent and very confidential culinary proposition for you.

On June 6, 2002, a FOREIGN consultant/farmer with the Nigerian National Agricultural Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly slaughtered a goat. It's head, valued at $25,000,000,000.00 (TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS) is in my freezer.

Upon discovering it, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a few days, we sent a reminder and finwelly we discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Agricultural Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from a tragic goatherding accident.

On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his goat head paperwork in my Freezer. The goat head is still sitting in my Freezer and the meat is being aged. No one will ever come forward to claim it.

According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 12 (twelve) months, the goat head will rever to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim it.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a Foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Barry Kelly.

This is simple. I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address os that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents, herbs, spaces, and affadavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the service of an Attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.

A refrigerator in any part of the world, which you will provide, will then faciliate the transfer of this goat head to you as beneficiary/next of kin. The head will be put into your refrigerator for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 25% for you. 5% will be for settling expenses on my part and yours, also for sauce when the goat head arrive your country.

There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Head Chef guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address below.

Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable and delicious for both of us because I shall require your assistance to ingest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent reply. Via the following email addresses:[e-mail],[e-mail],[e-mail].

Thanks and regards.
CHEF Julius Ojeh Iwegbu.

If you strain curdled milk through muslin you get liquid - whey - and in the muslin is a more solid substance - cheese.
If you treat cooked fruit in the same way you get liquid (which can be boiled with sugar to make jelly), and in the muslin is the more solid substance - cheese, obviously.

Marshmallows (yes, even Wagon Wheels) contain: corn syrup, sugar, dextrose, food starch - modified (corn), water, gelatin, tetrasodium pyrophosphate artificial and natural flavor, and artificial color. Gelatin = boiling animal skin, connective tissue, hooves or bones. You'll find gelatin in jelly,jam, gummy candies, Jell-o, ice cream, margarine, cream cheese, low-fat, and margarine and many other foods also contain gelatin.

(Alternatives to gelatin include non-animal sources as agar-agar (a seaweed), carrageenan (Irish Moss), pectin (apples and citrus peel), konjak, and guar gum.

Cook your Bones:

"At approximately 1292 degrees Fahrenheit, calcium phosphates begin to fuse together and change in color and shape. While not entirely reduced to ash, modern cremation does an excellent job of vaporizing and deteriorating bone.

Human bones are comprised of a collagen-rich matrix pregnant with calcium phosphate and other minerals. Calcium phosphates are inorganic mineral salts present in the form of tiny crystals, and make up roughly 65 percent of our bone mass.

Most tissue composing the human body begins combustion at 572 F. In cremation, the deceased is exposed to several hours of intense heat ranging between 1400 F and 1800 F, vaporizing all organic matter.

Some portions of the inorganic bone do survive this process, only as chips and re-fused fragments of calcium phosphate. In modern crematories this remaining material is sifted through a specialized processor and ground into a uniform substance similar to powder. This powder constitutes the remains of a body and is primarily cremated bone.""
Bones
After the cremation, only bone fragments remain, which mostly consist of calcium phosphates and minor minerals.

""These fragments represent roughly 3.5% of the original body mass. After the incineration is completed, the bone fragments are swept out of the retort, and the operator uses a pulverizer called a cremulator (also known informally as a crembola) to process them into a consistent powder. The cremulator, is essentially a rotating drum similar to a spindryer, except it is filled with steel ball bearings, whose disturbance powders the weakened bones.""http://www.cremation.co.uk/process.htm

Boils your bones

Now, the reason I raise the above is Jello is mostly made of bones, (and also, if available, connective tissues, organs and sometimes intestines).

Jello, bone up
