How about some rabbit stew?

There is always good food in Latvia and they are usually very big on it being fresh, no preservatives, no chemicals...which we are glad to be a part of.

Sunday we had the most-preservative free meal of our lives. Inese was kind enough to ask us over after church. The entire meal came directly from her garden in the country even down to the rabbit. Yes, that is right...the main course was stewed rabbit.

The potatoes, tomatoes and cucumber salad, carrots and onions in the stew .... everything came straight from the garden to the kitchen. Even the dessert, which was a whipped apple concoction topped by fresh milk was made solely from the products Inese had brought in from the country.

Now, about the rabbit. They raise a few of these rabbits in the old stone barn there on the country place. They are fun to play with and all the cousins take turns feeding and playing with them. But, on a farm everything has a purpose. This rabbit's purpose was to make a mighty fine meal for a bunch of hungry Baptists.
