Supermarkets in Holland even sell the meat pre-packaged just like ground beef or chicken breasts. Raising rabbits yourself for the meat is rough come slaughter time, but for those who want to know exactly what they're eating, it's worth it. You eventually get over the grossness of it and just imagine yourself cleaning fish or something similar. Butchering isn't the world's greatest job but it keeps food on the table! ;o)Tiffanyhttp://www.raisingrabbitsformeat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6947422983613362681.post-54280406275025058482009-06-22T00:10:57.191-04:002009-06-22T00:10:57.191-04:00Wow.

Needless to say I almost passed out & didn't dare look at it. The story continues & I always think 'poor bunny'. You are brave to cook it. Rabbit isn't an edible menu item in India; I think that's where my reaction stems from. havning said that, your post was great & I read it with great interest!Deeba PABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05527333008494519621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6947422983613362681.post-2638772686694263652009-06-19T17:11:07.644-04:002009-06-19T17:11:07.644-04:00We raised rabbits for meat when I was growing up, ...We raised rabbits for meat when I was growing up, so a stew like this would be the ultimate comfort food.

It tastes good, fried rabbit does taste like fried chicken, and you are right about the protein/fat being the best around. Now, however, I just can't cook it. If I was served rabbit, I could eat it...something about taking it from the raw stage and cooking it, like veal, same deal. Your finished dish looks wonderful. I had to skip the raw pictures this time and quickly scroll down. Just is. Might try it with chicken when weather is cooler in the fall, however, as the ingredients sound really nice and the guys are willing to eat stews in fall and winter.
