Title: Hunters Stew

"In Italian, "cacciatore" translates to "hunter" in English. When used in food terms, it often refers to a dish prepared 'hunter-style,' typically including tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, herbs, and sometimes wine, served with meat (often chicken or rabbit) in a hearty and flavorful sauce."

Thanks! I didn't know what cacciatore meant.

I guess "cacciatore incapace" would mean vegetarian. ;)

Title: Pigeon Cacciatore

Nice squab story. I've never eaten pigeons that i know of. I read a
local history about Chinese miners who were here during the gold rush. According to this book, they were reluctant to eat Western food and
commonly imported and grew & raised their own ingredients. However,
they did hunt and gather. One story was about a western miner who
tried a Chinese dish prepared with crow meat. He wrote that he had
tried crow before and it never tasted good, but it was delicious in
the Chinese dish.

By the way, i am curious about your recent batches of "Hard Times"
recipes. Some of them don't strike me as the kind of food i would
imagine eating in hard times. Cakes, strawberries dipped in candy
grade chocolate, etc. How did you select those recipes?
