Who on HROT eats rabbit?

[lucas80]

I lost 30 minutes of my life today listening to a co-worker talk about how they had chicken and rabbits growing up. No store bought meat for them. Rabbit stew. Roast rabbit. Fried rabbit. I don’t know if he tried the kind that Daffy Duck talked about. Fricaseed?
It’s absolutely riveting. Then he started talking about a wood pile. I don’t know if it’s his wood pile, or a neighbor’s wood pile.

I've eaten rabbit many times

 

[ghost80]

Usually in a crock pot. Sometimes BBQ, sometimes with rice and Lipton onion soup.

 

[The Tradition]

Yup.

My dog ate some baby rabbits he found in a burrow this weekend. ☹️

Rabbit is good. Rabbit brain is delicious.

 

[Old_wrestling_fan]

I ate rabbit quite a bit as a kid, I was death on those suckers. And we always ate what we killed. Nowadays, I have it once every 3 or 4 years or so.

My grandfather, now long deceased, and his brothers hunted rabbits with sticks back in the depression times. That was their only readily available meat source, as things were quite tight financially as I understand.

Jessica Rabbit is quite a dish....

Would eat.

 

[McLovin32]

I’ve actually never had it before. Never had the opportunity. I’d certainly give it a try though.

You don't have to go hunting. I've seen it in grocery stores before.

@Thomas_Barnes loves rabbit. Maybe he will stop in and share some recipes.

I still use a long, old stick to kill rabbits.
Mine says: R E M I N G T O N 5 1 4 on the side.

Is it throwback Thursday already? That's a name I ain't heard in a while

“Wood Pile” could be a bunch of bangable ladies.

 

[lucas80]

What about wood piles. Any of you guys have a pile of wood? Those are neat. You can do a lot with a pile of wood. You can stack it and I stack it. There are usually bugs and stuff in them. You can look at the pile. You can burn some of the wood, but then your pile is smaller.
Just no end to what you can do with a pile of wood.

 

[Fan In Black]

I had to growing up. My dad raised them. Thakfully he stopped. I hated those varmints dead or alive.

 

[ggmditka]

Are they hard to catch?

 

[ironside1]

We ate some yesterday for Easter. My brothers and I go rabbit hunting every year the weekend before the Super Bowl. CSB

 

[IACub]

Oh yeah, I have had rabbit. My cousin made a rabbit pie for Thanksgiving.

 

[BrianNole09]

How do they taste?

It sounds like rabbits are food for poors.

There are rabbits EVERYWHERE in Maryland...I think they outnumber squirrels now. I ran one over in 2010 because it ran in front of my car when I was driving home from fishing.

CSB.

No. I’m not a hillbilly.

 

[ConvenientParking]

Never have. I would try it.

 

[Tunadog]

This guy caught rabbits. By hand.

Brad Banks grew up running in the area's thick muck, eating sugar cane and chasing rabbits. "You've got to be on your toes to catch those rabbits," said Banks.

 

[Chewback]

What does rabbit taste like?

Like they say about everything else, tastes like chicken. Not really, tastes like rabbit. Delicious when properly prepared.

 

[Old_wrestling_fan]

What does rabbit taste like?

If you put it in a crock pot with mushroom soup...it tastes like mushrooms.

We often pan fried it though. I would say it resembles chicken or turkey then.

How much meat can you get off one rabbit?

 

[BubsFinn]

I have had rabbit, twice, I think. Didn't strike me as something I needed to have again.

 

[Old_wrestling_fan]

How much meat can you get off one rabbit?

Most of the meat is in the back legs, also the back straps. Me? If I am hungry I will eat 2 or 3 of them. I would say that a rabbit(wild, not pen raised) would give you approximately as meat as you would get from the leg and thighs from one chicken.

Long ago people would put out rabbit gums (sp). These were wooden boxes that had a trap door. Guys would go out early in the morning and check their traps

Snares as well. The trick to a good snare set is location and arrangement of material (piles of wood) to create a natural corridor into the snare. Just knowing how to make a good snare won't do.

 

[Big_Palooka]

No. I’m not a hillbilly.

Rabbit is served in many high end restaurants. I have eaten rabbit in Paris and in Barcelona. Maybe you haven't eaten it because it is not offered by McDonalds or Applebee's.

Just had pasta and rabbit sauce for Easter dinner. Fancy Italian dish, cooked up by an actual Italian. Along with a reserve bottle wine from Italy that runs for $80-100/bottle if you can find it here (she gets stuff like that from her dad when he visits).
