After the rabbit has been fried, cut 1 lb. of pork into medium large
pieces. Cut the bacon into small cubes and fry it, or if you use
butter, heat this and fry the finely sliced onion and pork in it and
the rabbit meat which has been soaked in vinegar.
For the gravy, stir the flour into the drippings, stew a few minutes,
then add water and all the spices and other ingredients. Then slowly
cook the meat until tender in the gravy. When it is done, take the
meat out and serve on a hot platter, strain the gravy and pour over
the meat.
Remarks: You may omit the rabbit meat and pork and use only the heart,
lungs, liver, head, neck, breast and forelegs if these are sufficient.
You may also stir a little vinegar into some rabbit blood and add to
the gravy. The liver may be omitted and fried separately.
No. 20—RABBIT LIVER.
Quantity for 1 Person.
1 rabbit liver
1 pinch of salt and pepper
1 well-beaten egg
Some flour
1 piece of butter for frying
1 slice of lemon
Preparation: The liver must be very fresh. As soon as the rabbit is
shot, dress it, take the liver out and prepare it the same day. If you
cannot do this the same day, it is better to leave the liver and
prepare it with the rabbit.
The fresh liver is washed, sliced, seasoned with salt and pepper,
dipped into egg and flour, then fried quickly in some hot butter and
served at once on a hot platter. Place a lemon slice on it.

¼ cupful of cream
Preparation: The meat and potatoes are cut into small pieces. The 2
hard-boiled yolks of eggs are mixed well and stirred with the 2 raw
yolks, the oil dripped in, cream, vinegar and the other ingredients
mixed in. Taste the gravy and stir lightly into it the meat and
potatoes, then heap it in a glass dish, chop the 2 whites of eggs and
strew over the salad.
No. 22—RABBIT PIE.

1 piece of bacon for larding
