| Young bunny's in tractors. |
| So what's the big deal about rabbit anyway? I show rabbits. The vast majority of the bunny's born here are not show quality animals. Rabbits reproduce so fast, the world would be overrun if nearly all species of carnivores didn't eat them. Rabbit is an extremely lean all-white meat. It is dense and has a flavor similar to chicken. Here comes the BIG difference. You boil or roast meat and bones to make a soup stock. I usually put the cooked carcass in a crock-pot full of water, after we have eaten the majority of the meat, and let it cook on low all day. ADDING NOTHING, chicken stock tastes like flavored water. Rabbit stock tastes like canned chicken soup. It is very strong and flavorful. The difference is really that profound. In a world where taste is everything, its a wonder more people don't eat rabbit. |
