Like this setup especially the rabbit year shotgun! I bought one time for dirt cheap and sold it for a handsome profit. Now I wished I didn't sale it! As the old saying goes money cannot buy everything. I like rabbit this receipe makes my mouth water! David Back.
You definitely made me hungry! I've got 15 nice, big squirrels in the freezer and will be trying this recipe on a few of them! Thanks for all you do. Great video!
I Love your channel man, cool to see how my great grandfather and those before him would’ve lived back in those days as a poor farmer and coal miner. the things I would give up just to sit and have a conversation w him.
that's cool. I use black powder in my Stevens 301 12g shotgun for fun. . I primarily use my Stevens 301 20 g. shotgun for rabbits quail....I also have the Stevens 301. in 16g and 28g ..but I don't use them much I mostly collect
The videography is exceptional! The detailed information about hunting and cooking is highly useful. We can decide how to tailor the recipe to our own tastes. I would use half as much tomato sauce.
@jamesellsworth9673 In this video, we were attempting to stay as true to the antique recipe as possible, with the exception of using grits, which is still a historical substitution. There's plenty that can be done with this recipe, but eventually, it becomes just a modern recipe and not an 1890s recipe.
To be honest the " Rabbit Ear" shotgun is still used to day and highly sought after. I have 3 vintage " Hammer Guns" and I hunt with them yearly. Congrats on your hunt.
Nice… I have my great grandfather’s… 12ga…. we think he probably bought it between 1895-1910’ish… it’s Damascus and I’ve been told not to shoot it. Nathanial mentions “black powder” shells. I’m 60 now and would love to shoot it… now I’ve gotta Google low powered black powder shells.
@CarolinaChrisOutdoors you'll probably have to make them yourself. You can use a black powder substitute if you can't find real black powder. You'll also need large pistol primers. Everything else, including tools, brass shells, lead shot, wadding, etc you can get from Mike Eder at Flintlocks, LLC in Ninevah, Indiana. They will ship, too. I highly recommend Mike. I've worked with him for years, and he's top notch!.

Thanks for the video and the recipe, I will be trying it next time I go camping. I'm sure the wood smoke has a little bit of influence... because everything tastes better cooked over a fire ! Even my homemade bread.
@burnsboysaresoldiers I'm generally partial to a cherry blend. It reminds me of my grandfather. There used to be a great little shop that had the best in-house blends, but the fellow retired. Hard to find a good one anymore. Look for a Virginia burley and Cavendish blend for an authentic flavor.
@ you know what’s funny? I get nothing but compliments on ny pipes. And so i tell people “then go get one.” I have converted a few, but most continue to suck on the battery juice
@@20thcenturyadventurescheck Boswells pipes and cigars here in south central pa. The old gentleman has been making handmade pipes and his own custom blend pipe tobacco since the mid 70s. Top notch quality and flavors and his pipes smoke amazing.
They brought a good number of Italian miners from Italy to Clinton Indiana to work in the coal mines I believe they're still in Italian Festival held there yearly.
@wilco3588 there is. We were under the ocean millions of years ago and it left us with good silica for glass, underwater brine pools for salt making, and good clay deposits for pottery. Sadly those industries are mostly gone now.
@wilco3588 we still have one salt producer, JQ Dickenson in Malden. It's excellent salt. Fenton glass is still around. Corning is still here too, but I think that's more R&D than production that they do here. We had 400 glass manufacturers here at one point
Looks good, no Italian I know cooks without garlic, cheese, and a sprinkle of dried pepper flakes. They add sugar to the Sauce as a secret ingredient. You need to try German Hasenpfeffer stew for your next rabbit hunt. Liked you video a lot.👍🐰
@gizmocarr3093 also, while the cheese was an oversight on our part, those other ingredients are more common to modern Italian cooking than the 1890s Italian dishes they descend from.
@tr_rodder932 haha! Never crossed my mind till now. Did you know that Bugs Bunny singlehandedly changed the meaning of the word "nimrod"? Nimrod was a mighty hunter of ancient mythology. Bugs Bunny used the term sarcastically. ("What a Nimrod") As the myth had largely lost popularity, especially among American audiences, it was assumed that Nimrod meant an idiot. Nowadays, that's what the term means and has been used in other pop culture (such as Green Days album name) with that connotation.
@MetaFortune-f3t how so? There are some good resources on Facebook to learn more about this sort of thing. I highly recommend the Early 20th Century Sportsman group.
That’s just sauce with rabbit in it. But sauce doesn’t have rosemary…cacciatore is not as saucey and has more whole vegetable ingredients in it..but I can really appreciate your passion for Italian cuisine and the era.
Much of what we consider "classic Italian" seasoning has only been added in the last 80 years or so. Historical Italian cooking is quite different from what a modern chef might prepare. Remember, Italian cooking has only used Tomatoes for about 500 years, even though we consider it a pillar of Italian flavor. They came from the Americas. Ethnic food evolves over time. This recipe is a 19th century version, and therefore simpler and without ingredients we would expect today. And yet, it works, and tasted very Italian to me.
@@frederickmalicki550 I've read many tales about Italian hunting parties in the 1900s to 1920s they were incredibly enthusiastic and they would accidentally shoot anything that moved game or human!
@@20thcenturyadventures it not that they want chamber, it's that it will aventaly be hard on the gun. I have a old double that's and made the mistake of using wrong lengths shells in it.
@mikevine1057 that's an argument as futile as "proper" Italian recipes. It's such a varied regional area that differences exist along the entire range. You'll never get a consensus on that.

An 1890s rabbit is going to be pretty tough by now
I live in eastern nc where squirrels are far more plentiful than rabbits. I’d like to try this with a few of them.
I've wanted to try this recipe with squirrel as well
A large number of Italian immigrants were brought to Clinton Indiana to work in the coal mines I guess they brought entire mining villages
I fix mine as you would southern fried chicken. make gravy and pour over rice. as Alton Brown would say....GOOD EATS.
A great video, I love the hunting series. Is the gentleman who made your belt the Brian Cushing from the Victorian Barroom channel?

Modern recipes that you find for Cacciatora in America are like you describe. This recipe is typical for one you'd find in 19th century Italy
