rabbits, shot

#1 Post by bradaz11 »

does anyone around Bristol - Weston shoot wabbits? I went to the butcher the other day and they wanted £5 for a small frozen, skinned gutted bunny. So I thought I'd ask on here if anyone can get some fresh ones. I've never skinned or gutted anything so would prefer if it was done, but am happy to do it if someone can show me how...

Just out of curiosity??? Was that a farmed (imported I would think) or wild rabbit the butcher was selling.

when I was a butcher my boss told me some of the farmed rabbits came from China. Except some were not rabbits. So he never bought any preprepped, only in the skin.

It is the bacon that makes rabbit tasty.

If all you could eat was rabbit you would starve to death.

Ffs. I'm just after a rabbit or two to have for dinner one night (if someone local can provide) I'm not looking to change to a rabbit only diet for the next month. I just didn't want to pay the butcher £5 for some rabbit shaped mystery meat

Pfff ... Scottish cuisine . Nuf said ... ;)

£5 sounds actually ok, rabbit mean was short of €10/kg (skinned & prepared) last time I bought some in Froggyland. Actually, when I coock "Lapin a la moutarde" I make sure I pick-up a small ones so it tends to cock more tender.
Bon appetit !
