SC - RE: sca-cooks V1 #2977

[grasse]

Greetinga again, and apologies for the delay.

The title is a good question, a rough literal translation (IMHO) would be
Whole front end (of rabbit) black cooked with onions.

I think the whole does NOT include internal organs but only the whole front of 
the rabit, meaning not the loins and not the back legs (those are the nicer 
meatier parts on a rabbit) but the ribs, and front legs - which are skimpy in 
the meat department. I dont know if he would include the head or not.

As for your last question.. I dont have the whole recipe to hand.. and the 
next sentence might have helped me get a better idea.  I do remember thinking 
that perhaps he wanted a short soak in vinegar and water (to help soak the 
blood out)but rather than discarding this now bloody liquid you were to use it 
as the cooking liquid (vinegar, water, blood and all....)

Does that help?
