I love a good bunny stew with a hearty red wine stock. Anyway, since I'm already a bad boy of SS, I'm going to get some rye bread and polish it off.
Jeff, I do miss shoot with my 65ib Browning. Never killed anything with it, just love shooting the bow for the sake of shooting the bow |
Eldred, what does your epression "hare is good tucker" mean. I ask because my maiden name is Tucker and I hadn't heard it used as such.
Reluctantly I admit that bunny stew is tasty. My sister-in-law occasionally raises the cutest bunnies for eating, which just kills my heart when petting them, knowing their eventual demise. But the meat it yummy....(she says with mixed feelings). |
Candace, Mike's got it right when it comes to the meaning tucker. In my childhood days, the school canteen was known as the tuck shop. If I were to visit my cousin's Italian Mother-in-law armed with a couple of bunnies, I'm pretty sure I'll get to enjoy bunny stew that evening. Here's a simple but nice bad boy recipe for bunny stew;
Cut up a dressed Bunny or Hare into chunky pieces, lightly dust with flour and sear in a pan of hot olive oil until lightly brown on both sides. Better still, fry a few pieces of bacon, remove them and use the drippings to sear the Bunny. Remove and set aside.
Sweat crushed garlic in the bacon drippings. When lightly brown, place back the bunny, add some strong bodied red wine, chicken stock, to cover the meat, a few bay leaves, baby potatoes, carrots, the fried bacon (chopped into small pieces) and a sprig of rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Leave covered in hot oven for one and a half hours.
Mmmm.... I Love Bunnies. If I serve this to the Blokes from the Big Smokes, chances are that they will get the shout

I remembered when I was a young kid, my sister and I were given two cute duckings that had just hatched. They follow me and my sister like puppies all day long and they were really fun for us, they were special. For some peculiar reasons, they did not take to water and always fled the bathtub.
A few months pass and we came back from school one day and the cheerful noisy reception that our pet ducks usually gave us were missing. My mother had told us they flew away. We had roasted duck for dinner that evening (Man, it was delicious) and that did not clicked until several years later when Mother confessed.

How did the bunny get into the Easter picture? I do wonder too, did Jesus, Peter and the rest of the Twelve ate bunny? Does the Pope(s) eat bunny? All of them except the current Pope are Italians. To the Italians, bunny is just another food animal. Does the British Royal Family eat bunny? Does Prince Philip eat bunny? He does rear bunnies after all on his estate and that "maybe?" causes him to quote all those infamous bad boy quotes. I could write a bestseller book on that alone.
Or maybe Judas Iscariot was the only one who ate bunny and that's why he was the bad boy of the Company?
Russ, is that a clump of wild Rosemary on the bottom right?

Sorry, did he petered out and got replaced by an Italian? Maybe he tried to ban rabbit and replace it with potatoes? Mama Mia! Thank goodness the Italians are in charge again.

I don't think so. If I remember right, it's a wild sulfur plant (little yellow flowers in the spring). Different from domestic sulfur plants.

Tucker is Aussie slang for food. The term Tuck shop was used in the UK for a snack food shop, but is not used that frequently anymore.

Thank you, Mike and Eldred, for the explanations. Interesting that tuck or tucker means different things in different parts of the world, like in England a person who makes garments, a lace collar for women to hide low neck lines, and then in Australia it refers to food or a place to get food. And in the States it really means nothing except for use as a name.......a name that rhymes with the f word, which was annoying in school---LOL---my little sister decked more than one person for calling her the f word.......I always wished I'd had her gumption and decked a few myself! LOL
My parents (the Tuckers) rented a vehicle and drove all over Austrailia for a month and never mentioned the Aussie's useage of Tucker (that I recall, at least), so maybe it is a word on it's way out the door.
Eldred, are you Aussie?
