Hi, I just forgot that. What grade does she teach? My dad did not mention this. Have you heard of Quinton? My dad say's they have this every year as well. Where do you live now? I can't remember.

It's all dark meat and non-greasy. Parboil it with onions and then did in flour and fry. It is extremely good. I've eaten it for years. Since you are from Salem County, do you know where Lower Alloways Creek is? My daughter teachs there and their mascot is the muskrat. Every year over there they have a muskrat dinner and it's conctantly sold out. Unfortunately this year there wern't enough rats so they didn't have the dnner. -------Original Message------- From: Robin M.

Has anyone on our site here tried it? The story goes that my gr-gr. grandmom used to fix it for people but would not eat it herself. Remember I am from Salem County (which is surrounded with swamp) so this may just be a local thing. In my Salem County Cookbook I found a recipe for it but it is entitled: "Muskrat a la Maryland" Love, Robin ============================== Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
