I haven't had rabbit since I was in survival school. I'd love to find a place that sells rabbit meat. It is really good.

When I was younger we had rabbits, and had rabbit on many ocassions, it's really good if it's cooked right.

I remember looking at rabbit in the frozen food section when In Africa..........The paws were left on so that you could be SURE it was rabbit.

Rabbit looks and tastes like chicken except it's usually more tender and the bones look all wrong.

What else might it have been?

Where I live and have lived, if you want rabbit, you just step outside and shoot one. Though I have seen them in the frozen section at the supermarket lately.

We raised rabbits too. They were a cheap source of meat.

Mom made a bunny sausage to die for.

Of course, it's not that rabbits don't reproduce fast enough -- it's just an 11-week cycle from birth to broiler. The problem is that there aren't enough producers.

Well, maybe if a producer or two saved up a bit and put off selling their stock for a few months....

I hunt wild rabbit a good bit, and it tastes fantastic if cooked right.

"What else might it have been?"

Your cat!

I had distant relatives in Norway that durring WW2 when the Germans demanded their rabbit would skin a cat and give it to them. They kept the rabbits for themselves.

You can tell the difference between Cat and Rabbit right away, Cat meat is mushy when cooked, Rabbit meat firms up when cooked.

We had a kindly elderly Italian neighbor, when I was young, that would treat us to rabbit cacciatore every so often. Just wonderful but I haven't had the dish in over 45 years.
