Since you asked...Back when I was kids, we visited our relatives in the Missouri Ozarks. Uncle Harry went out and rustled up a mess of squirrel and dressed 'em out. Then Aunt Chat fried 'em up, just like fried chicken. Pretty good, but you need quite a few.
Maybe bunny recipes?
Well, you can sometimes buy "fryers" and cook them the same way but this has to blow the doors off of that:
Cajun Rabbit
Dem Ingredient
2 1/2 to 3 lb dressed rabbit cut in serving pieces
2 to 3 cups Heinz Vinegar
2 to 3 cups water
1 medium onion, sliced
2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp pickling spice
Oil for pan frying
Enriched flour for thickening
Les Direction
Cover rabbit with equal amounts of vinegar and water, onion, seasonings and spices. (ziplock) Let stand in refrigerator for 2 days.
Remove rabbit from mixture and dry. Dip rabbit pieces in flour and brown in hot oil. A cast iron pot would work great for this recipe.
Gradually add one cup of vinegar water; cover and simmer about one hour or until rabbit is tender.
Remove meat to hot platter. Thicken liquid with flour or cornstarch for gravy. Serve over rice.
Ooooh Wheee!!
There was a time when my family was, you might say, poor. It’s a long story about what happened to my dad, and it wasn’t his fault, but he was the one who got stuck.
One day he told us kids he had brought home the best chicken that we would ever eat, and would have it for dinner that night. He had mom fry it up. We all knew it wasn’t chicken. It was rabbit. It didn’t smell or taste like chicken. But we didn’t complain, or even speak up about it, because we knew he was doing what he could to put food on the table at that time. He was working 3 jobs.
My dad always tried his best to provide for us, no matter what. After a few years of hard work, he got out of that hole, and back on track. You can always learn lessons from people who’ve made it through a rough patch. Life has a way of giving you curve balls. You just have to withstand them sometimes.
