I'm phone-posting and that looks like loose corn and mouse turds. Can anyone confirm / deny?

Also rabbit tastes good but it's a pain to prep for the amount of meat you get. The easiest thing to do is make a stew or casserole if you want to try it out.

Get your butcher to part it out. All you need to do is brown the pieces and toss them in some liquid. I recommend taking off the legs, then splitting the loin and breast into two pieces each. Jamie Oliver has a good overview of how to part out a rabbit.

This is pretty much the entire reason why you can't get rabbit meat anywhere. Recently Whole Foods actually got boycotts for carrying rabbit meat, because even though it's good for you and way more sustainable that pretty much any other kind of livestock out there bunnies are cute.

I've eaten a few types of insects at a taster session, although cooked rather than raw. There was this grub looking thing that had the exact taste and texture of generic-brand bacon puffs, it was fantastic. I didn't like the ants with wings because they stuck in your teeth. The mealworms were bland and fiddly because you weren't supposed to eat the mouthparts.
I bought a pack of salted insects to serve as a novelty thing at a party. They were pretty disappointing, mostly just bland, and not nearly enough salt. Quite liked the grasshoppers though.

I haven't eaten rabbit in years, but the main thing I remember about it is finding all the tiny bones really fiddly and annoying.

At Cedar Point's Halloweekend event, they introduced the Skeleton Key last year. It was a thing where if you paid extra for a badge, you would enter a special room in each of the haunted houses where you had to perform some kind of task before moving on. Like in one house your party was locked in a completely pitch black room and had to find an actor with the key to the room (who was wearing night vision goggles and could see with infrared lights).

In Zombie High School, the three of us were placed in front of a bank of lockers. We had to eat or drink whatever was in the locker we opened. Somehow, all three of us managed to choose lockers with a roasted and flavored whole cricket. I found it fairly bland (it had a dusting of powder with some kind of barbecue flavoring), but also very dusty and powdery after biting into it.

I remember, back when I was married (AND an actual sex-haver - Note I said back when), we went to visit the inlaws and the MiL had barbecued fresh rabbit over an open wood fire. I had had rabbit before (used to help a friend who farmed bunnies at slaughter time - Not so cute then), even at some upscale restaurants, but... This... This rabbit was singlehandedly the most amazing rabbit experience I ever thought it was possible to have. Tender, juicy, and, to this day, I wish I had asked how she had seasoned it as it was a carnivore's mouth orgy.

Dad used to shoot dozens of rabbits when we lived out in the bush.
We probably ate rabbit meat more than any other meat for a while, mostly in casseroles, sometimes with shotgun pellets included. I never really saw them as cute cos they were usually a pile of bloodied carcasses in the back of a ute.
I still like it though and order it at restaurants when I see it, which isn't often.
The calici virus dropped the numbers a lot in Australia so there are less around these days.

I'm having trouble deciding whether this is "beans and corn," "spanish rice," or "some kind of shepherd's pie with down syndrome."

gently caress, it's probably something like pork & beans with melted cheese, and the writing is cake frosting.

:agreed: Some day, I'll learn to field dress a groundhog. I shoot probably 3-5 per year to prevent them from clear-cutting my vegetable garden. They're usually donated to the local Buzzard shelter, as a handy buffet. I mentioned in a prior post that I have had Groundhog jerky before, and it was quite good. Not game-y at all, and a lot like beef, actually. Would eat again.

I knew a guy at work who explained the brilliance of rabbit is it should always be free. So you could hunt it. Or also look for free rabbit classified listings after Christmas and Easter. You know, when people put pets ads up for readoption because it didn't work out because of kids

all the time i am eating from the trashcan. the name of this trashcan is ideology


Whenever I find rabbit meat, it always seems super expensive, but then again, they only sell it in huge packs. So, maybe it's a volume thing.

Oh, man, I forgot the greatest story ever! My mom banned a lot of meats from the house for varying reasons, and one of them was rabbit. I always thought it was because of the adorable Holland Lop I kept as a kid, but she explained the reason to me years later. When she was a kid, she also had a rabbit. I would like to point out she lived in downtown Montreal, and her parents were those kind of un-integrated immigrants who truly just never bothered to learn English. Anyway, her mom bought her a rabbit, which made her very happy for several months. The rabbit disappeared, and she got the old "Puffkins went to live in a farm" speeches.

Years later, and I remember this, we're at their apartment eating dinner and my grandfather turns to my mom and mumbles something in Polish and she runs out of the room in tears. I guess he thought that was a great time to tell her he'd eaten her rabbit several decades earlier.

Anyway, we also couldn't eat quails or their eggs (too much like our doves), cod (resembled her koi fish), goose (secret and unexplained allegiance with geese - too patriotic??), frogs, mussels, and veal.

I've never eaten goose, but those fuckers are mean, so I would eat one with gusto.

I briefly worked on a sheep farm in Kansas during a college break and it did nothing to convince me to not eat meat. We had basically all the ground lamb we could eat (lamb meatloaf is amazing), plus fresh eggs and chicken every time a chicken in her flock was either too old, or acting up. I fed them in the mornings and one morning I mentioned to her that one of the roosters basically attacked me when I was in the enclosure. It wasn't a big deal: I was wearing coveralls so the claws in my arm didn't even register, but she went out and we had chicken for dinner that evening.

Never cook with pork belly if grease disgusts you. It tastes like heaven but looks like hell if you think fat is gross.

Dog is pretty good. Surprisingly greasy meat, at least the way I had it (Korean soo yook and boshintang, or boiled/stew respectively) but very tasty.
