Jane Grey | 4 comments I need the title of a small game cookbook. A picture of one page in the cookbook was uploaded to a Facebook group, no title or author name, no published year. I contacted three FB groups where the page was uploaded, but no one knows what book the page is from. I don't see an option to upload the pic here, but here are two of the three recipes on the one page which is the only way I can identify this cookbook.

Fried Rabbit
1 rabbit
1 tsp salt
1 chopped onion
1 tsp vinegar
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp pepper
4 Tbl cooking fat
Cut rabbit into serving pieces, then roll them in mixture of flour, salt and pepper. Brown them in fat, then add 1/4 cup water, diced onion and vinegar. Turn down heat, cover and cook until tender. Remove cover last 10 minutes to brown.

Squirrel with Grits
2 Squirrels
Salt Pork
1 Large Onion
Salt and Pepper
1 Quart Water
1 Cup Grits
1/4 cup catsup

Cut squirrel into serving pieces and dice salt pork. Put pork in skillet, add squirrels and cook until brown. Add water and simmer until tender. Add more water if needed. Add catsup, onion and seasoning. Cook 30 minutes longer. Serve with grits.

Jane Grey | 4 comments I uploaded the image yesterday to Google Images to search. The images that were retrieved were random pages from books, none were the book I'm searching for.

Becca (beccalikesbooks) | 5505 comments Southern Appalachian Mountain Cookin' by Louise and Bill Dwyer has these recipes (word for word), although not on the same page. There's a copy on archive.org:

Edit: They also wrote Cookin' - Yankees Ain't Et, so perhaps the recipes are repeated there. I haven't been able to find a preview of this book.

Jane Grey | 4 comments Thank you! This is it! The picture I referred to (no option to upload it here) is a page from a spiral bound book. I have no doubt the recipes were downloaded and printed, probably for a personal copy of the book.
