Grab a .22 or some ferrets and hit Ballarat for some free Rabbits.

Used to have curried rabbit a lot as a kid ... went to Xanadu winery southwest WA ( Margaret River) and they had rabbit as a dish... was ok but not as good as my memory

Haven't had it for a while. Like duck and quail - I prefer eating it without shotgun pellets!

Rabbit & Hare pie @ Selby's a couple of years ago, was probably the last time I ate Bugs Bunny.

May just do that. Traps though, like Lidge, I prefer it without the cordite taste.

Yeah, like it a lot, Local.

Dad's family (the ones from Byron St ) lived in Warrnambool for years, and all the cockies used to trap/shoot rabbits. Was the staple of their diet, I reckon. I loved Grandma's rabbit stew!

Had it a couple of times since, most recently at a dinner provided by my stepdaughter's boyfriend(of the time)'s family, who are Maltese. They breed the rabbits specifically for the table. Kinda funny to know you're chewin' on a bit of Flopsy

Have always been to squeamish to try it

I haven't cooked it for a while, but I quite enjoy a good rabbit stew.

I haven't had rabbit for years...

I am wondering how a popular dish has the rabbit been? I can remember my grandparents making it a few times.

Has it been a popular and dish and if so when was it at the height of its popularity? And are there any particular reasons it is no longer so?

Was extremely popular amongst the working class in the Great Depression and wartime.

Plentiful supply, easy to cook, and versatile.

Have it alot when I am visiting my Nana's farm as they tend to shoot a bloody lot of the buggers.
I find it really nice, shame I never get to eat it living in the city

I nibble on a bunny on a pretty regular basis, usually in a stew, but occaisionally fricassee or even roasted.

Chewy chicken. But good.
