Dunno about that. I suspect farmed rabbits are the way to go. Himself
shot one on our back lawn and handed it to me to skin, gut and cook. I
figured it wasn't too dissimilar to a chook so managed the gutting and
skinning OK. Bloody thing got its revenge by being as tough as an old
boot once cooked. I should have just cut it up with some secateurs and
given it to the dogs.


Feral rabbits soak overnight in salt water. Removes the strong gamey taste
that may be offputting to some.

It wasn't a strong gamey taste that was wrong with it, it was jsut as tough
as a boot. I dont' mind gamey flavour.

Myself I have not been able to skin & gut
the blighters since going thru puberty, me not the bunnies. B4 being 13 I
used to keep the family in underground mutton. Then the smell of warm
flesh made me throw up, but not enough to become a vegie.

Know what you mean about that warm flesh smell. There really is nothing
that smells quite like it.
