There's no objection in principle to eating it, it's just the way they look. <br /><br />If I were very hungry I'd eat it but as with rabbit, it has to be caught fresh and field-dressed otherwise the meat will become rank very quickly indeed.<br /><br />There was also a hotly-debated argument about the wisdom of eating wild hare or rabbit as some chefs claim the meat simply isn't fit for human consumption and prefer to use farmed rabbit where they know the source and the husbandry. <br /><br />The one time I tried hare I might have cooked it wrong. It was most disappointing but then I'm luckily not starving in a hovel. If I were, Hoppity would be looking a good deal more delicious.

This also improves the quality of the meat as the home-killed animals are not stressed by travelling any distance. <br />Woman on a Rafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897415591130901416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6068105406305319114.post-2012139114819311652012-09-06T07:05:09.814+01:002012-09-06T07:05:09.814+01:00I was intrigued by the information that he uses th...I was intrigued by the information that he uses the same principles as in flowers. <br /><br />I've seen flower cross-breeding.

It is tasty, but like you say, after luscious local beef I feel like I am eating something I shouldn't be, like, say, hare. It is not very fatty which to me is also a disadvantage.lilithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011676751221508167noreply@blogger.com
