to finish up the snake thing, these were huge snakes, but then all snakes
are huge to me, as a small aside my mother raised doves for a time until
they started going missing, until one day my dad went a couple hours early
to feed because they had some sort of apt to keep... there in the cage was a
big old black snake, when he was hungry he could squeese throught the wire
and would eat a buird then digest... to get skinny enough to get back out...
he was sent to snake heaven very quickly...

now to the on topic part. all of this talk of rabbits made me wonder if any
of you have ever smoked it, and i was also wondering if any of you have ever
grilled it and what you thought of either, the only way i have eaten rabbit
where i like it is deep fried and with dumplings... and that german dish i
can't recall the name of atm.

I've never smoked rabbit. If it's domestic bunny and young and tender,
it gets southern fried. Wild bunny is tougher so it gets a long braise,
generally in a tomato based sauce.

My dog cornered a black snake on the walk by our bird feeder. It
had caught a Finch and had it about 2/3 way down its gullet. I
had always heard a snake couldn't spit out its food once it had it
in its mouth. To save the snake from my dog, I picked it up to
carry it to the woods. Woops/ / / it spit the bird out and grabbed
my thumb.

With the black snake firmly gripping my thumb, I put the dog in
the garage and laid it back down by the spit out bird. It chose
the bird, let go of my thumb and started to swallow the bird
again. When the bird was past any spit out stage, I used gloves
and picked it up again and took it to the creek where it'd be
safe. My poor dog wouldn't speak to me for a couple days because
of this insult, but we eventually made up.

if that had happened to me i wouldn't be writing here, i would be dead, you

would have had a heart attack, would have been dead before i hit the

Domestic bunny should be tender enough to try it. Please let us know how
it comes out?

Does she do an 12 to 16 week slaughter age?

Hi Lee

I haven't bbq'd rabbit, that being said, to lay out the case, rabbit,
regardless of wild or domesticated is skinless, the meat won't be
protected the way chicken skin protects chicken meat. Also, rabbit meat
is lean, right!?

Sooo, if you wish, I would suggest indirect as in an upright cooker or
offset. Also, brine is the word, brine the rabbit to help plump it. Then
I would think you could arrive at a great result.

As far as wild or domestic, tough or tender, if wild and tough, It will
simply require longer cooking and basting so it doesn't get dry.

You didn't hear me say this but this one time I also would suggest
cooking half way then foiling, adding some mop and finish to force the
issue of staying moist. I'd never do this for ribs as they have enough
fat on their own.

As Justin used to say, I gaurunteee!

Their fur certainly is different. :-)
But I've found they tend to be more prone to shedding.

yes they are very lean and that was one of my issues, i was thinking that a
bacon blanket and cooked, ... what is that where you cut the chicken almost
in half??? if that works i was thinking that i would do that then give it
some bacon to keep it moist, thanks for the imput, Lee

Hasenpfeffer! Rabbit stew. Mmmm! Because rabbit is so lean, it's hard to
not dry it out if roasting. Your deep fried with dumplings sounds good,
Lee.

Pythons can be pretty aggressive, and may bite without seeming provocation.
Boas, on the other hand, are, for the most part, quite gentle. I've handled
several large ones in Thailand.

its stunningly good, all you do is prepare rabbit like you would when deep
frying chicken, sage in the coating along with whatever/however you do it,
fry and set aside on paper towels then make a dumpling or noodle of your
choice... then make milk gravy using some of the grease you fried the rabbit
in... when it has begun to thicken place the chicken and dumplings in and
let finish thickening... there should be just enough gravy to coat the
rabbit and dumplings in a crowded pan, serve with any green of choice, i
prefer turnip or collard,sp greens with bacon and onion. Lee

Yes. But spoil them with frequent brushings and they won't let you brush
your own hair without pushing their heads under the brush!

She was hungry. <g> She was a rescue that the animal shelter had removed
as a stray from someone's home she'd wandered in to.

She was so hungry, she shot through her open cage door to strike at the
rat I was fixin' to offer her.

Missed the rat and buried both rows of upper and lower jaw teeth into my
belly which was bare. I was running around the house in a sports top as
it was summer.

Snake teeth are shaped like fish hooks. It took some careful
manipulation and cooperation on her part to pry her teeth from my skin.
<sigh>

She was a good sized snake and weighed about 25 lbs. Left a neat row of
double teeth marks in my skin about 6" long by 2" wide.

It's amusing because 2 nights later, I was hanging around down in the ER
at work as it was a bit slow. The ER doc knew that I was in to animal
rescue so asked me if I knew what a non-poisonous snake bite looked like
as they'd just gotten in a kid that was snake bit.

I lifted up my scrub shirt and said "Yeah, it looks just like this, only
probably smaller".

He laughed and asked how I'd gotten it. A couple of nurses watching
turned a bit green... <eg>

Turns out the kid had been bitten by a Texas Rat Snake. No big deal...

As a general rule, Ball Pythons are pretty mellow. Just not very bright!

that is one of those unintended consequense, i think meezers are the laziest
of all cats, if you brush them they can concentrate on preening instead of

Stormmee
Spactcock chicken is what it's called,

I would still recommend brining for the reason it puts moisture 'back
inside' the meat.

You can still put bacon on but that won't plump internally. Either way you
do it, good luck and post results!!

<laughs> Lately Ka has been crawling under the blankets under my bed and
sleeping most of the day. I keep my room pretty cold so the rest of the
house stays at 72, and he refuses to leave my bedroom now.

He is going on 17 years old...

He's a Seal Point. <smiles>
