It's a funny kind of preference, isn't it?<br /><br />Especially since Wynter, our husky mix, would love ANY dish with squirrel in it. Preferably still kicking. :)<br /><br />Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-20018878236041234972015-06-01T14:39:45.816-04:002015-06-01T14:39:45.816-04:00Yes!

They're so good! So much fun to make. We like to make them dark red and spicy/syrupy for Christmas. What a treat! <br /><br />Jan, this is marvelous and made me smile! I've got a bunch of old cookbooks, too, with possum, turtle, quail, partridge... oh, so fun!<br /><br />I am in love with your cover... and smiling at how much I love writing historicals now. I blame you and your gift for placing me smack dab in the middle of a scene and making me feel the setting.

I got five for my birthday, including a Cajun Cooking For the Home which my friend found in a thrift shop and is about 60 years old. SO FUN. I haven't made anything from it yet, but I'm reading it! There are recipes for watermelon rind pickles and chow chow, so I might try those first after hitting the farmer's market here.Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.com
