It is my understanding that if you soley ate rabbit you would die of starvation. Something about NO fat.

that reason.

I doubt that's true, there are plenty of fat rabbits here, and I know
that farm raised contain nearly as much fat as farm raised chickens..
more likely didn't want to waste any if rabbits were difficult to come
by. This must have been the year of the rabbit here, everywhere I
look there are rabbits.

YW, it always comes out tender. I note this version of the recipe
doesnt use cream - I often do, so this recipe might be a bit better

I don't bother hanging them like that, but that's basically how I
start to skin mine.

Don't be an idiot, very few markets sell prime and there really is not
much difference between choice and prime, in fact many cuts are better
as choice, nost don't want all that fat.

You're lying again.

Prime can be bought in most any market, especially Costco.

Also Prime ca be quite lean, as in a filet.

There are foods I ate as a child, that I do not eat anymore, for several
reasons, availability, my family did not like it, I no longer care for
it. My list would be squirrel, rabbit, rattlesnake, chitterlings,
buttermilk, turtle. If I went to your house and you cooked any of these,
I would eat it.

Buttermilk? The rest I can see, but b-milk has me puzzled. It's more
of a cooking method than a dish. I use buttermilk in a lotta dishes,
for the better. Even if I gotta fake it, some lemon/vinegar in
milk. Sure, as a rising element in baking. But also in meat
marinades, etc.

I've eaten them all but since I've quit hunting I now can't even remember
what they taste like. Probably not really that great or I'd have continued
hunting.

Some people grew up drinking buttermilk. I can understand not wanting
to drink buttermilk. I tried. Sure, I'll cook with it but I don't want
a big tall glass of it. LOL

I consider buttermilk an ingredient rather than a "cooking method".

I used to buy Saco buttermilk powder many years ago to have on hand for
baking. I think most of us know the vinegar/lemon juice trick. I don't
find the need to use that one very often these days, either.

As a teenager, I shot rabbits but it was a nuisance finding the
buck-shot before cooking. Incidentally, the very last one I killed had
no shots in the carcase; it was frightened by the noise of the gun and
jumped over a cliff.

Then you had to climb down the cliff to retrieve it? Wow.

Still, soaking/marinating something in buttermilk doesn't fit my
description of a "cooking method." I equate cooking with fire.

buckshot for a rabbit? It would be a nuisance to find the rabbit meat.

I saw rabbit in a local grocery store a few months ago and it was closer
to $35. Rabbit is pretty tasty but it sure isn't worth that much. We
never had rabbit when I was young. My father had grown up on a rabbit
ranch during the depression and had eaten enough rabbit for a life time.

Why? Because rabbits are cute? It is amazing how sympathetic people can
be when animals look cute. If seal pups looked like lobsters few people
would have problems sticking them into boiling water while they are
still alive.

You should have used smaller shot. I have shot several rabbits and the
shot barely penetrated the skin. I was surprised that it killed them.
Maybe it frightened them to death.

I really wouldn't cook any of those if company was coming, well except for
the buttermilk in cooking.

Yes, we hunted as kids too, but no more.

It probably wasn't actual *buck*shot. I'm not up on the terminology;
what would you call the shot in shells used for rabbits? The only two
names that I seem to remember are buckshot and bird shot.

I've never liked rabbits all that much; wild ones are covered with
fleas as Janet says but look cute enough in the distance. When I was a
kid, friends had pet rabbits but I never really wanted one since they
didn't do much but sit around. Angora rabbits can look spectacular:

Likewise, cats!

Lotta meat. Definitely not scarce.

Just funning with you!

shot is named by number, such as number 4 or number 6 shot for upland game.
Bird shot is smaller, maybe a 6 or 8 shot. All depends on the critter you
are going after. The larger the number, the smaller the shot size. Bigger
than number 1 shot is 0, 00, 000. (00 = "double ought", such as 00
buckshot). It is often used on, well, Bucks (deer).
