    would deinately eat it as long as someone else prepared it and i didnt have to see it looking all bunny like.
    i am a terrible carivorous hypocrite, i am great at denial and very successful at seperating the cute animals and scrummy dinner in my brain!

    Grey Squirrell is just as good as rabbit although you need a few for a good feed .
    By switching to shooting and eating these Yankee vermin and leaving the bunnies alone for a bit you will give our British birds a chance to replenish their numbers .

    rabbit cooked in red wine and garlic is yummy.

    recently stayed with friends in Malta and rabbit is the staple meat of the locals. Lots of families breed them for eating.:D

    you should try to get a rabbit with a hump back so it keeps the crust up.

    Yes providing someone else did the *necessary* first:rotfl:

    Like sophiesmum, in Malta we ate quite a lot of rabbit as it seems to be a staple. Well, it was always billed as rabbit, but as my DH said, he'd never seen so many stray cats in his life before, and we didn't see many rabbits....................:rotfl:

    No, for the simple fact I hate the stuff wild or not, I have a lot of friends who do all the time, I wouldn't be bothered if I liked it but I can't even stand the smell of it cooking, tried it in all kinds of ways to cover it but nope, yak! My Grandad had them breeding for food when I was younger and I remember hiding because of the smell when they were cooking. I did end up with a pet one because it came with a batch my Grandad bought and he would have just killed it for dog food otherwise.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I would definitely eat rabbit but sadly I have some kind of intolerance to it which gives me an upset stomach if I do. Hubby and DD love rabbit stew though, so I have to sit and watch enviously!

    My neighbour shoots rabbits and we often get them given to us.

    Bunny burgers are excellent. We served some up at a BBQ the other month and they went quicker than the standard burgers.
    I also love rabbit with apricot stew. It is absolutely gorgeous. I posted the recipe on here ages ago.
    It is a fantastic lean meat.
