His recipes are usually very good indeed.<br /><br />That Boudicca kept her hare within her bosom is a top fact, so thanks for that one!Neil Butteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465149114879599176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173263937309643922.post-64072639610487448832014-05-29T09:26:27.979+01:002014-05-29T09:26:27.979+01:00Neil, thank you so much for your blog, it is a fas...Neil, thank you so much for your blog, it is a fascinating and absorbing read, and delights me every time I look at it. Comiserations that the roast hare didn't turn out as hoped, but I too have never had any luck roasting them - not enough fat, either as marbling or on the outside. However, the best hare recipe I have ever tried, an absolute knockout star, is the ragout in Rick Stein's first Food Heroes book - if you don't have this, drop me a message and I'll type it out for you. As something of an aside, Cassius Dio says that Boudicca kept her pet hare in her capacious bosom, hauling it out for the purposes of divination - one can think of more congenial bra-mates, I'm sure ;-)Jonathan Monkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04516249258052867073noreply@blogger.com
