Had the Dangerous book for boys growing up. It gives detailed instuctions on how to kill and clean a rabbit. Always wanted to do that one but never got around to it.

Too much work for nothing. It's just chicken but with more razor sharp bones and less meat, oh and aside from the tenderloin which is about half a bit of meat, the rest has to be braised for about 11 hours in wine or else it tastes like shoe leather

It's like mead, there's a reason we abandoned certain foods, but if you own multiple swords and fingerless gloves, then yeah it deserves a place on your table every week

>>19361973
>normal meat can be purchased at every store

It's an AI-gen pic of 'rabbit stew' and the machine gave this

>>19362018
nothing harmless about them

>>19362028
bunnies can gets a big as large sized dogs but hey are much smaller in nature as rabbits. anyone curious how big an rabbit would get if you breed him like this?
i bet it can get the size of a pig.

>>19362028
>>19362038
how ever you need very tiny rabbits to be that little in a pot.

>>19362043
i am not an expert on this topic, but i personally didn't saw any in the hundreds of documentations rabbit race this tiny. yeah and well if they are kids to fit the size their ears are larger.

>>19361973
My father has a rabbit farm.
It's tastes like chicken but better.

I wasn't crazy about it growing up, but now I miss it.

>>19362028
Any one with 3 active synapses to rub together would've gleaned this just from the weird pot handles and surreal sheen coming off the bunnies' heads.
Don't sweat the pearl clutchers.
Rabbit is okay. Best prepared braised or stewed--and in season. They are tough and can have parasites or tularemia too late in the summer.
Of course, my girls like them raw. The heads of little ones are crunchy and fatty, and the big ones they catch, they bring to me first so I can check the liver for spots and make sure they don't have worms.
Jugged hare is a simple but classic recipe,
Bake in a large ceramic pot with a lid:
1 quartered rabbit
carrots, onions, shallots--anything that rabbits would also eat-- quartered red potatoes, a bundle of fresh Herbes de Provence,(dried is fine too,) after ingredients are in, add water until about half full, then pour in to cover 1 bottle white/red wine of your preference.
Salt and fresh ground pepper
Bake in a 300°-350°F oven for 2 hours, checking liquid levels occasionally( doesn't need to be covering the rabbit after it cooks down, just don't let it go dry--Add BOILING water if needed, 1/2 C at a time.
Serve with fresh hot baguette and butter

I don't think I've ever managed to cook it properly.
I've tried smoking and stewing it in the past, but never had luck with it.
It tastes okay, but it's not good enough to justify the price in the store, and not something I actively hunt.

I've had a lot more success cooking duck, which I have an easier time justifying because I've got friends that will actively pay me to cook that for them.

>>19362110

>>19361973

Yeah, my dad knows I love cooking and kind of weird foods so he got me a rabbit two Christmases ago. I basically made a chicken cacciatore but with rabbit and made some on-the-fly adjustments. It was pretty good, the biggest "problem" (if you can call it that) is that its got a lot of tiny bones and it felt almost like what I would imagine eating a squirrel might be, in terms of the bone amount

>>19362018
>he thinks frith created them to be helpless
ngmi

>>19361973
Used to have them when I was a kid and had one recently.
It's great.
It's like a hearty chicken with more collagen so the meat has more bite and almost a fatty texture.

>>19362038
Flemish giants are the largest rabbit breed in the world, and usually get to the mid-20's (lbs) in weight, the largest ever is 49lbs. That's hardly the size of a large dog, it's a small to medium dog.

>>19362447
My mother used to have a pet rabbit of that breed, it was certainly big but yeah it wasn't huge, just big for a rabbit.

Rabbit stew, rabbit spaghetti, rabbit ravioli, rabbit burger, rabbit pizza, rabbit kidneys and probably some other versions of rabbit.

It's ok.

>>19361973
Yeah, it was very dry and flavorless. Would probably be ok in stews or chilis.

>>19362447
This, and also their genitalia are too small for human compatibility, sadly.

Sorry guys..I Poasted the Jugged Hare recipe.. I hadda Request that I poast this .

And this...
I promise NO MOAR..
Just Bunnies..

>>19362621
I want one so badly a big ass fluffy 30-40lb funny.

>>19364232
They are Huggably/Squishable(no killy)
I love ALL animals(tried to save a road tumbled rabbit once as a kid, it died anyway)
I still eat meat--but I've ALWAYS respected it as such.

>>19364211
You said it was ii

>>19364239
I said NO SUCH thing.

Yep I bought it once at a supermarket
I made Cacciatore with it and my mother refused to eat it
I think I fucked it up since there was a skin left on top of the rabbit which remained tough
Anyway not a fan, I like fatty meat

>>19364257
>I made Cacciatore with it and my mother refused to eat it
I'm sorry anon...
that sucks.
Yeah there should NOT have been any skin on it.. but your MOM no even trying it...
I unnerstan..
Fatty meat IZ more better..

Is hare anything like rabbit? They're considered varmints here so you can hunt them without a license

>>19362018
>Noooooon you can only eat beef... Because !!!! Not the honking rabbiterinos !!!!

>>19361973
My grandma raises bunnies, they live their entire lives in small cages inside a pitch black room
The meat is pretty good but it feels bad to know they live like this

>>19364302
They are treated very differently in culinary practice. Rabbit is white meat used similar to fowl, veal or sometimes pork while hare is red meat/game often served in heavy acidic ragouts thickened with their or pork blood.

>>19361973
I've eaten it several times in restaurants, but have never bothered to buy it to cook. Seems like too much effort. Tasty though.

>>19364836
It's mind numbingly boring and once long distance trade became possible everyone realized there were much more fun things to drink, namely beers and fruit wines (grapes most notoriously).

There's only so much you can do with sugar syrup and yeast. You might say "but you can dump spices and fruit chunks in it" but the same is true of any other alcoholic beverage, most of which are more capable of variations. About the best you can do is try different kinds of honey, which doesn't get you very far.

What you have to understand is that even in so-called "primitive" societies like the Itneg people of south east asia, the basic fermented product of simple sugary botanical saps was quite commonly aged with other flavorants - barks, leaves, etc - to render it less insipid. Yet the vaunted hyperborean culture that 4chan incels idolize amazingly never managed to figure it out. They were content to rot their brains with plain ordinary fermented bee honey while hitting each other with sticks and raping and giving everyone in the vicinity smallpox. Curious.

>>19361973
My mom used to make it a few times, but I don't think she does it as often now. Mostly in a stew with red wine. It's decent, but it's nothing special, the meat is too lean and slightly gamey, also not much meat pwr animal. I wouldn't go out of my way to get it, but if I had a cheap source I would get it more often. Haven't eaten it in a few years.

>>19362018
Rabbits are stupid retarded breeding machines. If you're ok with eating pork and beef, which come from vastly more intelligent and conscious animals, but scorn at rabbit because it looks neotenous, you're a fucking mongoloid.

>>19362110
Duck is absolutely delicious and mogs rabbit as a food in every possible way.

They are demonstrably more intelligent, as they have displayed superior problem solving and sociological abilities.

Really good, my grandma made a delicious sivet with mustard à l'ancienne. It's a lot of work and some people look weird at you because rabbit are a pet now. Here in France (country side) it's a small game or cheap livestock, it's not the same in the US?

>>19365383

Not posted from a phone but whatever.

I used to go to a university where we had a shitton of the rabbits on campus so I'd bring a pellet gun there at either 5am or around 8pm and maybe get one rabbit every 1-2 weeks. It was a pain in the ass at first but after a couple times you can clean it in less than 10 minutes, maybe even 5ish? Because you just cut the back of the neck, pull the fur off, empty abdominal cavity, cut backstraps off, and tear legs off and remove the meat from them. Compared to other small game rabbits actually have a shitload of meat on them. Because they had little fat I'd generally put the meat in a salt/ sugar brine to soak overnight so that it'd retain good texture after cooking (if you don't it dries/ toughens rapidly after cooling). Best recipes were mushroom rabbit potato stew, and breaded/ fried rabbit. It tastes amazing, not as heavy as beef but muchore satisfying than chicken or pork.

Nice to see someone doing rabbit stew right. Just like lobster rabbit has to be cooked alive or it will be chewy. Be sure to break the legs though or they will try to jump out.

>>19366047
Wrong. You’ve quite obviously never spent much time around these animals.

>>19369015

>>19366099
It’s not really common. I’ve been to many states, but I haven’t seen rabbit commercially available. You typically have to go to a specialty store or a butcher in order to purchase it. The Americans that consume it typically also know how to hunt it so there isn’t going to be a huge market.

Used to eat it often as a kid but only a dozen or so times as an adult.
It tastes like... lean, boney pork mixed with a very dry chicken wing (or duck wing as they're already pretty dry)? It just tastes like fucking rabbit, man, idfk how to describe it. As I've only had it stewed or braised in oil or fatty sauces and i don't think it's prepared any other way anywhere, i would say that it just winds up tasting like whatever sauce/oil you stewed/braised it in.

>>19361979
I used to just buy it but my neighbourhood butcher just shut down last month so i would either have to get it from the wet market or buy the fuckers frozen from the supermarket.

>>19370366
I can walk to one of two different chain supermarkets right now and buy a rabbit. I live in the Philly area.

>>19361973
Ate it long time ago, can't remember exatly how it tasted but i remember it being meh

>>19365383
Mead is utterly delicious though

>>19361973
There's a big difference between rabbit and hare. I've not had rabbit, which I hear tastes like chicken like the meme, but I have had wild hare. Tastes like foul but sorta gamey like duck or ostritch and such.

Those things are absolutely fucking vicious and not even cute. They look like a transgenic fox/rabbit but with a perpetually insane look in their eyes.
Lemme see if i can find a picture to show people who don't know how horrifying they can look.
Oh and yeah: they taste like shit.

Do they have hares in the New World or is it all just feral bunnies that happened to escape? Cuz when i show Americans that hares are the stuff of fucking nightmares, the say they've never seen anything like them.

It's really embarrassing, and, I dare say, cringe? The 3060 isn't even top of the line! It's yesterday's gpu. I suggest we both put this out of our minds. The less said about it the better!

My mom used to braise it with balsamic vinegar, garlic, and rosemary. It's pretty good that way

>>19361973
I have several times. It is really very good. People here are saying that it is not a lot of meat but I had a full leg as a kid and not only it was delicious but it was enough meat.

I should find a place that sells it again.

>>19371126
Yes there are large hares in the prairies/Midwest

>>19372019
I didn't know that, good lord imagine bragging about an obsolete video card

They taste like a richer chicken. They even flake like chicken.

sometimes I think about raising rabbits, but I don't have the heart to do it
It's legitimately evil
Not like I'm going to stop eating meat, but I just know it's fucked up

>>19362018
Thank goodness you're eating all those harmful cows for us. Thank goodness heroes like you are saving us from the deadly animals like chickens and pigs, while heathens like me can only eat harmless rabbits.

You're a hero anon. Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. You're saving lives out there each time you suck on pork ribs and scrape meat off of a T-bone. Bless you.

>>19361973
very lean white meat, texture is like chicken and is even leaner but taste different
there is a rabbit fucking around my backyard's crops so if I catch him, il cook his ass
Since it's so lean you have to either roast it or make a stew, grilling and pan frying is risky since there is almost no fat and it will be dry. Tho I wonder if you could bread it and deep fry it to keep some of the juices inside.
A very good meat if you want to lose weight.
