No kidding. Here's our little sweetie. No way am I eating rabbit. There's more than enough food in the world; I don't have to eat rabbit.
One caution, don't play with the rabbits before you eat them. Throws off your appetite. Several guys in my flight at AFROTC field training did just that. One of them was my roommate, a city boy from BYU. He managed to help skin it, because we all had to do a little of that (The hard "big game" way, not the the easy rabbit way), but no way was he going to eat any of it, and it put him off to where couldn't even eat the "chili" made from the dried meat in the seat pack survival kit. Fine with me, more for me. (One rabbit between 8 or so guys doesn't go very far anyway, I got a haunch). I think that was the best tasting rabbit I ever had, roasted over an open fire on a spit. Yummy.
I did draw the line at eating the eyeballs. That was a "gross 'em out" trick all of the survival instructors (down from the USAF survival school) pulled. They'd pop in an eyeball, raw, and then ask if anyone wanted the other one. No takers in my group (flight was split into 3 groups for the exercise). However a guy in another group, from El Cajon CA who wanted to be a mortician, asked the FTO if he could remove some demerits if he ate one, and the FTO said sure, 5 demerits. He ate the eyeball and then ran to the other two groups asking if we had any eyeballs left. We did, he ate it for 5 more demerits. But he must have had a bunch of demerits, cause he was still out there walking tours on Saturday after "pass in review".
