My farmer neighbour who shoots rabbits on his land has promised to 'sort me out a good one'. A friend pulled a face at the thought - even though she comes from a farming family and eats meat. What is it with rabbits? People who don't turn a hair at the notion of eating a cute fluffy lamb, balk at the thought of eating a rabbit. At least it won't have been reared in captivity and finished its life being carted off to an abattoir. Rabbits are prolific round here and even regarded as a pest. Maybe I should be a good prepper and learn to shoot.

I don't  like all the little bones in rabbit. We had it a lot when I was a child as my DF used to shoot. Not too keen on finding shot in my meat either. I always seemed to end up with it when we had pheasant.

Once you've cooked stuff like rabbit and pheasant, lift the pieces of meat out and then strain the gravy/liquid through a sieve.

I think it comes from my generation who can remember myxomatosis.

That's more like it. Was asking about rabbit in a local store once and the customer next to me frowned and said 'I have a pet rabbit'.' Well you used to anyway,' says I. It didn't go down well

Rabbit smells horrible when it's cooking. And has all those little bones...

Beatrix Potter has a lot to answer for.  Horrible things, rabbits, when they get in your garden or on your allotment.

I too got heartily fed up of being fed rabbit during the 50s, and well remember the 'orrible pong of it cooking.  I remember mixy too, and all the road kill. And I remember the noted Lincolnshire band called Flat Rabbit ...

I dont like the smell of rabbit either, or the taste. But I'd eat it if there was nothing else..
