I love my in-laws I really do...

But. Fried rabbit. She served fried rabbit for dinner. No.


It was from a cage in the back yard.

Rabbit is actually delicious but the backyard part would bum me out.

[Deleted]

I just couldn't. I could tell she was offended.

[daisybuchannan]

[jaycee]

What?!?!!

Oh wow. I don't think I would have eaten it either.

[Deleted]

Sounds great.

Well, unless this is your mother-in-law.

[jaycee]

Sorry to hijack your thread, but hey daisybuchannan did you end up going out? How is your son feeling? (I really hope you went out!!)

When H was a kid, they had rabbits. They had to raise them, kill them, skin them, then eat them for a school project. Small town in Texas.....just, IDK.

I've always wanted to try rabbit.

[fuckyourcouch]

Nope, that would not work for me.

[cinderbella]

Poor Bugs.

There is no appropriate emoticon for the look on my face right now.

I just couldn't. It was too much. We used to pet this rabbit.

[Deleted]

It is the backyard thing that is skeeving people out, right?

Not just mere rabbit alone, right?

Rabbit it gooooooooood.

It didn't look good. Maybe one prepared properly would be better.

Sorry, Sally.

That's what bothered me. I mean they killed it and cut it up. They have no experience with rabbit. I might try it in a restaurant.

[sugarbear]

I don't actually like rabbit, though it know many folks who do. The backyard thing is a little weird, until I remember that as soon as our chickens stop laying, they'll become dinner themselves. Hmm.

[poopedydoop]

Rabbit is actually pretty tasty.

Wtf. It was her pet?

They have 5 rabbits right now. This is the first one they have eaten. I know people do this, but I can't.

[rupertpenny]

Did the rabbit have a happy life in your in laws back yard?

If so that's more than I can say for like 90% of the animal products I've eaten this month.

This is true. I mean they had a cage and food? However, I usually don't pet my food before I eat it. I realize this is hypocritical.

[eb777888]

I would try rabbit, absolutely. H's story always skeeves me out,though. I feel bad that he and his brother had to kill them, then skin them. I could not imagine doing that.

I don't blame you, Sally.

[moolarkey]

My dad was a hunter, we had rabbit, squirrel, quail, pheasant, etc. I do not like any of it, I just do not like the taste at all and my mom knew how to fix it correctly to take the "game" taste out, I still just didn't like it.

[poopedydoop]

I wouldn't eat a 'friend' rabbit, either.

Aw, thanks for thinking of us

C made the decision for us by spiking another temp early in the day. He would go from totally fine, dancing, laughing, etc. to screaming and crying. Totally not like himself.

Our day has been...interesting, lol. Thankfully he went down very easily tonight (after not napping for any significant time today).

[dapotato]

i have only had rabbit in nice restaurants.

i've eaten chicken raised in an acquaintance's backyard, so i'd probably eat this.

[isabel]

Rabbit is tasty, but I'm confused about the backyard part. Was she raising it for meat?

[FrozenSunshine]

My dad is a hunter and I've eaten all kinds of animals, bears, moose, caribou, deer, etc.. But I had a pet bunny as a kid and he knows better. I also eat at great restaurants around the world and refuse to try rabbit. I just can't do it.
