Finally !
 

I tried Colonial Williamsburg Brunswick stew back years ago when we used to do the family va action there most years . And in the last five or so years I’ve wanted to try making it . I did last year using pheasant thighs as the meat source . But I’d wanted to try the supposedly original protein ingredients meaning rabbits and or squirrels . So I pulled the single rabbit I had and four squirrels and started them in a boil . After they came to a boil I let the simmer about two hours then removed the pieces and added the vegetable ingredients . While they simmered I pulled the meat from the bone and then added the meat along with seasoning and a couple scoops of flour for thickening . Tommorrow we’ll see what the shop vultures have to say :rotf:

First rabbit with a VH 16 26” I no longer have and a squirrel with a DH 16 32” I no longer have as well .

I wannabe a "shop vulture", looks tasty to me. Bring some to PA for further evaluation :)

I bet those vultures are flying around right now....looks good to me....I m going to save your recipe....thanks charlie

Leave the limas out and count me in.

Next year ! I didn’t sample it tonight , but if it tastes anywhere near as good as it smells I’m going to put a crimp on the tree rats around here . As to rabbits I’ll have to bum a couple of them from my cousin I suppose .

I used the limas and I’m not a big fan of Lima/butter beans but I can deal with it in this situation . I however didn’t have any okra to throw in the pot :whistle:

Usually if the shop vultures are quiet and eating it then would seem to be palatable atleast . I only remmember one time they were talking and I’d over done the soy sauce on some venison backstraps . And even at that they ate it :whistle:

Mr. Roberts I failed to mention I don’t have any more tree rats in the freezer , hence the reason I can’t make anymore like this until next season . We’re doing lunch now . And if I must say so it isn’t bad ! Tree rats may have a rough season in 2023 until I put a dozen in the freezer !

My retired Brother when not in pursuit of bluegill filets enjoys chasing the "tree rats" as you call them. As I recall season opens here on Aug. 15, I may need to encourage him to pursue a few of these critters prior to the PA gatherings. He did say something the other day about having some fox squirrels in the freezer that voted for Eisenhower if that would work...
