Comment by Megan on August 21, 2012 at 2:05pm: Hello Shannon, perhaps you were thinking of Katherine's blog on breeding rabbits for meat?

Comment by Shannon McKenzie on August 21, 2012 at 11:15am: wasn't there a group for breeding rabbits to eat? What happened to that?

Cheers:)

Comment by Dian & Dennis Patterson on February 11, 2012 at 6:19pm: Hi all :

We used to eat a lot of rabbit, when we were shooting possums, and live capturing joeys, for export. Farmers were happy to have their vermin culled. When rabbits were plentiful, I would run my Victorinox Rabbiter knife edge up, down the spine, and back legs, peel back the hide, and remove the fillets, and back legs. The rest became dog food.

The fillets are very tasty, when butterflied, pounded to a uniform thickness, chopped walnuts & mushrooms sprinkled on, then rolled, skewered with toothpick, baked in dish with olive oil, until cooked.

Rabbit skin is much weaker than possum, and after tanning sheds a lot.

Cheers,

Dian & Dennis
