Sure you are, but you had turkey for Thanksgiving. And so did Putin.
 
Interesting... still not a fan though.

Maybe its possible to acquire a taste for it, but I've had it maybe 6 times over the years and it wasn't for me.

So I was thinking of doing this marinade on some rabbit, Tell me if this sounds yummy.

Pineapple Marinade-

Ingredients-

1 cup crushed pineapple
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon powdered cloves
 
Actually you can get into rabbits really inexpensively. The most expensive item would be a cage. Either you can buy your own materials and build it yourself, or have a pre fab cage. I spent $60 on craigslist for a really nice cage with four separate sections for housing rabbits in different areas. Usually you can then purchase a meat rabbit (depending on what breed) between $15-$30 per rabbit. I actually got mine for free. Its possible to find people that will just get rid of them. Of course this is for meat, so you will want to get some sort of meat breed. I have Rex rabbits, which are one of the more popular meat breeds.

All you need is two rabbits to start (a male and a female) Nature will take its course when you introduce the two of them. Always introduce the female into the males area (females can be territorial and attack), The female rabbit can have babies every 30 days. On average 6 a litter. Rex rabbits can weigh between 9 to 15 pounds. When the babies are 10 weeks old you separate them from the mother. I also separate them putting males in one cage and females into another. Rabbits are considered matured for slaughter at 12 weeks. A rabbit would be considered full adult by 1 year old. I typically slaughter the rabbit at 16 weeks. I spend approximately $3 per rabbit for food each month. So approximately for each rabbit I raise I spend $12 for food, for an average of 10 pounds of meat @ $10-$15 per pound.

Leaves IM to become a rabbit breeder lol

seriously though those numbers are fairly profitable

thanks for posting about this as silly as it is, it most certainly is a nice look at diy protein and even a functioning model at that

appreciate your write up thanks again

Never got a chance to eat rabbit but I suppose its meat will be tasty :D
 
Alright. I recall in the 90's some guy threatened to kill a rabbit unless people donated money. People simply poured in money like a tsunami.

Can anyone find that site again? IIRC he made a lot of cash from it.
 
One of the best decissions was to try rabbit meat!!

I can't kill it though.
 
Rabbit is lovely in a stew.

My grandad taught me how to strip a rabbit down and cut it ready for cooking when i was 6

Yeah I am trying to teach my young son too.

Looks delicious. how different is it from chicken?

It tastes like really clean chicken, if that makes sense at all. I used a yummy pineapple and soy base marinade mentioned above. It was absolutely delicious.

My goodness. It's breakfast over here and I'm starving.


Bon Apetite.
