What is your Hunters Stew recipe?
Hunters Stew were I am from, Minnesota, was basic 3 vegetables, carrets, onion and celery, chopped in a starter broth. (Left over broth from a fowl or even beef, veal, mutton, lam, or pork, with pork preferred over beef or a mix of any or part.) any meat, preferably venison, duck, goose, pheasant, Wild Turkey or left overs.... Or any meat mixed or un mixed. How you season depends on what is in the pot and what is in season. Similar to a Mulligan Stew, for some reason no potato's in the Hunters Stew. It was poured over a trencher (bread). A hunters Stew can also be the tid bits, such as cheek tongue and little bits from all over the animal including the liver and kidneys. You can put in it barely or svelt or other whole grain buds. Again, I may have been told Hunters Stew because it was Nove, hunting season, and they did not know what to call it.
No reall rules, hardy fair around the camp site using what you have. Never had it that way, kitchen and higher grades of meat. I will have to look it up, that might not even be Hunters Stew. When I asked what it was I was told Hunters Stew. It was broth made from bones that had duck in it. The meat was pieces of duck and left over, I think chicken. Other the the basic 3, It had mushrooms, I believe garlic (it tasted like it), pearl barly (my first time), left over string beans, salt pepper. If it had more in it I do not remember, or couldn't tast it.
I am looking forward to you Hunter Stew.
I got eggs tonight from City Farm. Dose anyone see happy in Mary's eyes? She just looks determined to me.
{the dark on her head in Blue-Kote, her comb was damaged, she lost part of it.
I also had a question answered. I lock the youngsters in at night, but,
Rosa, is often out and about when I get up. She is roosting with the big girls. Because she is little she must be always using the nesting box and going in after they are snuggled down for the night.
No my girls are not molting right now. Dec. 22 is the longest night of the year in about 3 weeks... That could be it. A 6 or 8 week rest. I believe force laying gives an inferior egg and is hard on the chicken. Everything that the egg gets is from her body. The chicks are coming up on 12 weeks, I would hate to see them molt during the coldest weather.
-------------------------
Just looked up Hunters Stew, it is about what I wrote above, cabbage is very popular and some people believe it is a must. Preserved tomato's (paste, canned, or dried) and lots of mushrooms are also important. Not supposed to be fancy cooking, but stick to the ribs, tasty use of all food. But in my quick look I did not see any grain called for, and my friends mother used no cabbage ether. I love cooked cabbage I would have remembered that. Pictures were bowls, no trenches. I will give her grains and poured on bread as chiefs creative touch.
MY THING a pretty silly NN/EE
