I like rabbit. My grandfather in law has a great recipe for it.

Rabbit is pretty crappy meat. It has little of the nutrients humans require. Rabbit starvation is an issue one comes across on an almost exclusive Rabbit meat diet.

Having said that, Rabbits are easy to come by; most butchers sell them in this country. You’d also get goat meat fairly easily. Eugenia, have you tried a Carribean butcher? Goat is a popular Jamaican dish.

Exactly. Nothing should go to waste from the moment you decide to butcher an animal for food. It’s like killing an elephant for its teeth only. It’s indeed disrespectful.

good on you.

if you are going to kill an animal to eat it the least you can do is eat all of it. i was told that you can eat/use pretty much all of a pig. i think it’s disrespectful to throw parts of an animal away - ive know people that only eat the ‘white’ meat off a chicken. people can’t handle that meat comes from animals - look how supermarkets package meat - gone are the animal heads from butchers - they might offend people i dunno what they think they are eating..!

Too bad that you will die of starvation because you wouldn’t know how to survive should a crisis or war happens.

I was raising rabbits for food when my kids were little and unbeknown to me, my daughters had adopted certain baby rabbits
and esp my middle daughter, so the first buthering came and I filled the sink full of “4 legged chickens” which my daughter discovered was her pet and to this day she says she traumatized
and will never let me forget it. I ate the rabbits alone and they were very good and this daughter is almost 30.
In my book “Wax Poetic (rumblings from my head)” I wrote a chapter on 3 Commandments for the 21st Century, the 2nd commandment is: “Never have a pet you can’t eat”
I think fried guts sounds great and if I make it to Greece in my life, I will be sure and eat some, thank you for pointing this out because I would have missed the experience, I also like to write songs about sheep, my next CD will be a country CD called “Sheepless in Seattle”
the title of course refers to me being born and living in Seattle. Besides the title song with the line “they don’t ask you where you been, when you’re skin still reeks of lanolin” the other sheep song is called “Montana Sheepherder (it gets lonely out there)”
In the USA we sure love our inflatable sheep

Offal is the word you need. That’s the parts of the animal that aren’t usually eaten.

I know this is stating the blindingly obvious, but try a Halal butcher.
