Fry the bacon until crispy.

Cut up shallots and mushrooms and fry them.

Prepare the pastry using plain flour, lard, and margarine until it resembles breadcrumbs; add ice cold water to bind and let it rest.

Use the stock from the rabbit, add flour and gravy browning, and pour it over the rabbit, bacon, mushrooms, and shallots.

Roll out the pastry to cover the pie dish.

Bake the pie with a blackbird in the center to allow steam to escape.
