It's a challenge to Darwin, is it not? All ecology can be explained as
the struggle for energy. The hunt must be profitable, for the food
chain to make sense.

Rabbits are quick, any predator is going to burn a lot of calories. No fat,
little meat... few calories. Who eats rabbits?

Yes, it's good. Decades ago many UK butchers displayed wild game (fur
and feathers still on) hanging outside the shop. Rabbit was very cheap
so I often cooked it. One day as I skinned the rabbit the thought came
into my head "this looks like a dead baby" (I was pregnant at the time
and didn't buy rabbit again for a while).

I had a memorable "sweet and sour" rabbit dish last month in a
Sicilian/Italian restaurant. The rabbit was jointed wrapped in salt ham
and casseroled with raisins, grapes, olives wine and vinegar. I chose it
because the ingredients sounded so unlikely; it was absolutely
delicious.

I have cooked a wild rabbit. It was a scrawny critter and despite
braising was tough. It was a waste of effort. The rabbit stew I had in
a restaurant was much tastier. I was thinking about buying a rabbit in
the grocery store and cooking it, but those things are outrageously
expensive these days. I see them occasionally in a nearby grocery, but
they run $35 or more, and big enough for a little more than two
servings. I can get rack of lamb or a couple nice steaks for less.


FWIW I never had rabbit as a kid. My father had been raised on a rabbit
ranch during the depression. He had eaten too many of them in his youth.

Such a big difference in taste (fat content) between farm raised rabbits

My one grandfather always hunted rabbits each year to feed the large
family. He had 3 beagles, rabbit dogs to hunt with. He would kill them,
clean and skin them and soak in salt water in the downstairs fridge.

Gramma was the cook and what she got was just like from a grocery store.

I hunted with an old guy like that once. If the rabbit was still
alive he whacked their heads on his shotgun barrel. He also had an
interesting way to field gut his rabbits. He grasped them just
below the rib cage and squeezed til the guts busted out through
their asshole, then gave them a sling to empty out the abdominal
contents. I tried it myself a few times and it works, but later I
moved on to larger game and quit hunting rabbits.

just needs to right kind of slow cooking, it certainly needs added fat

These are farmed rabbit, so a heck of a lot bigger than a wild on.

Yeah, for sure. Unless you particularly like rabbit, I wouldn't bother
paying for it. I like it but don't go out of my way for it. We still
have plenty of wild rabbits here, for now. But I know they've released
the calici virus again in parts of Tasmania recently, so soon the

Not so bad in Tasmania, for some reason... but that is only based on
my past 15 years living here. It may have been worse before. But no
question, on mainland Australia rabbits have caused massive damage in
the past.

I am still yet to eat a hare. I want to try one and we do have them
here - but you never, ever come across one when hunting. They just
seem to spontaneously appear from nowhere and you're not likely to
ever see them again.

I am not even sure what rabbits are the problem in Australia. Around
here we have mostly cotton tail rabbits, which are quite small. There
are also jack rabbits, which are hares. Jack rabbits are a hell of a
lot bigger than rabbits. I have only seen one jack rabbit in my life and
it left an impression on me. I was driving home from work at about 1 am
and it was running along the on the other side of the road. It was at
least ten times the size of any rabbit I had ever seen.

question, on mainland Australia rabbits have caused massive damage in
the past.
I am still yet to eat a hare. I want to try one and we do have them
here - but you never, ever come across one when hunting. They just
seem to spontaneously appear from nowhere and you're not likely to
ever see them again.

I am not even sure what rabbits are the problem in Australia. Around
here we have mostly cotton tail rabbits, which are quite small. There
are also jack rabbits, which are hares. Jack rabbits are a hell of a
lot bigger than rabbits. I have only seen one jack rabbit in my life and
it left an impression on me. I was driving home from work at about 1 am
and it was running along the on the other side of the road. It was at
least ten times the size of any rabbit I had ever seen.

Rabbits and foxes too. Brought by the English so they could continue
hunting.

Not so bad in Tasmania, for some reason... but that is only based on
my past 15 years living here. It may have been worse before. But no
question, on mainland Australia rabbits have caused massive damage in
the past.

I am not even sure why rabbits are the problem in Australia.

I've seen documentaries about rabbits (and mice) in Australia.
Get one good climate year with an abundance of food and both can breed
in huge numbers. That year or the next, both can be a swarming invasion.

Err, grey ones :) I'll have to check to see what type of bunny they
are. OK, they're 'European' rabbits:

That's how you usually see them - by surprise. At least in my
experience. I know they don't burrow like rabbits. They look very
tasty to me. One day I'll get one.

Cottontails don't always burrow either. I think they would rather eat
than work hard to dig a hole. I usually find a rabbit nest in one of my
gardens every hear. I have to be careful in one spot of that garden
because they just clear out a space big enough for the babies. There
also used to be a spot under a spruce tree next to my dog kennel. My
previous dog never liked being in the kennel but he loved being tied up
on a rope that was tied to the door frame of the kennel. Several years
in a row he discovered that there was a rabbit nest within reach.

These are farmed rabbit, so a heck of a lot bigger than a wild on.
Still, that's 3-4 times the price of a medium sized chicken that has
about three times as much meat.

Yeah, for sure. Unless you particularly like rabbit, I wouldn't bother
paying for it. I like it but don't go out of my way for it.

It's good, but it ain't good enough to justify that price.
 We still

have plenty of wild rabbits here, for now. But I know they've
released
the calici virus again in parts of Tasmania recently, so soon the
numbers will drop drastically.

Yeah, I understand that the introduction of rabbits to Australia
was a big mistake.

Anybody here ever tried wabbit?

Yes, it's good. Decades ago many UK butchers displayed wild game (fur
and feathers still on) hanging outside the shop. Rabbit was very cheap
so I often cooked it.

I might try that, for curiosity. Don't know where to find whole rabbit, though.

Is it obvious and easy to skin and bone? Does it require some training?

In UK we can buy them oven-ready from online butchers but they are no
longer dirt-cheap meat.

None at all in my case. Dead easy.

I used to buy them complete except for guts (gutted by the butcher). I
cut off the head and feet, then they are really easy to skin; open a
hole get fingers in and rip it off, it peels cleanly off in one. Joint
it (either a chopper or strong kitchen scissors.)

It's easy to dress a rabbit, providing one's used to that stuff. If
one's not, the thought may curl the supposed "dresser" into a ball.
It's good to know where meat comes from and how it hits the table. I
just checked. Googling "dressing a rabbit" ought to work for Rich D.
Start by cutting off their little paws. They're lucky charms!
