recipe that bridges the gap between the United Kingdom and the United States, by mixing traditionally English ingredients, such as bacon, with wild rabbit found in America. The method of cooking, the spit, descends from the hunters, miners and cowboys, who used to hunt for meat and cook it over spits thrust into the ground beside a fire or over wooden timbers. This method of cooking is still widespread in the south and south west of the United States. By development, cooking over a spit can also be applied to cooking meat simply in an oven but always with a sauce.
