Rabbits are delicious.
For the poor? In German restaurants, hasenpfeffer is quite expensive. You can cook it at home as well:
Hasenpfeffer - German Rabbit
2 1/2 pounds rabbit (up to 3 lb) -- cut up
2 cups dry red wine
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 bay leaves
Place cut-up rabbit in flat refrigerator container. In bowl, combine remaining ingredients; Pour over rabbit. Marinate overnight in refrigerator. Place marinated rabbit in Crock-Pot. Add 1 1/2 cups marinade. cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours. Remove meat to warm platter. Thicken gravy, if desired. Serves 4
Twenty years ago, our "nutrition center" started a bunny raising project for the local student clubs. Nothing new here...
Now, if they want to try something new, try raising cuy...aka guinea pigs, which are a good source of protein and raised in kitchens of the poor in Peru and Colombia...
bumped for recipe.

To add to my previous post: Here's the link to my blog discussing guinea pig as food...

It's interesting to note that the rabbit is low in cholesterol.I would think that would be the least of your concerns if you were living below the proverty level....if the University was not so politically correct it might try pig research..age old and proven....see www.pigsite.com

I wish Elmer Fudd could brutally kill Bugs the Inferior Bunny. I do not object to eating rabbits by the way. My main reason of hatred towards rabbits is the fact that they bite, scratch, reproduce like crazy, and wreck the eco-system. When I was a kid, I held a rabbit and it bit me when I was feeding it. Also, rabbits are annoying characters, especially Bugs Bunny, Energizer Rabbit, Easter Bunny, Peter Cottontail, Greg the Bunny, etc.
deep fried of course - La Cabesa is mui buena (sp?)
- Weve had a pet Angora for a few years now (a buck) who has quite a personality - I prefer them to all cats and some yippy type dogs (for pets not food)
extremely affectionate and good with children - really high maint on the fur though - stomach hairballs are a real problem with the long hair varieties - but if you clip them and brush them its not a big deal
Our little guys has gotten old though - his rear is paralyzed due to arthritis and his front legs have about 20% use - he needs daily baths and takes IV meds daily (ringers w/b12) - but the head wont die - he eats and eats everything from watermelon to apples, is happy and eagerly seeks head pets
how come you hate rabbits?
personally, house-cats are my bane
I hate rabbits with a passion because they bite and scratch, reproduce like crazy, and wreck the eco-system. Also, they are annoying characters on TV and books, like Bugs Bunny, Energizer Bunny, and Buster Bunny.
they are tasty - but my little old guy doesnt bite or scratch - we had one that was a real witch though -she would lunge and bite - fortunately she tipped over dead at a young age
I don't object to eating to rabbits.
never heard of him
FWIW - I do like the old old looney tunes from the WW2 era
Buster Bunny is from Tiny Toons.
