I believe Hasenpfeffer (ATT: Bratwurst Boy for spelling!) is made from hare (zając), a dark, gamey meat quite unlike the white delciate flesh of the farm-bred rabbit (królik).

Miniature rabbits don't taste nice, apparently. One of my son's friends rears rabbits for meat na wsi.

We have miniature buck without a doe. A few years back, when we still thought he was a she we left him with friends who were looking after another holidaymaker's doe. Hmmm - Bunny was disappointed when we took him home, but like that he had kids.

There's a blanket ban on eating rabbit at home - the children would never forgive us. Anyway, it's a taste you can get tired of - my mother ate it all through the war (in Lancashire), but never served it to me as a kid.

Where to buy good rabbit in Kraków ? I know of a few good recipes from my grandmother and would like to try them out for my Polish znajomych here ;-) For example, cooked in the oven with szalots and brown or cherry beer. Mniam...

nott:

Swans, however, are 'royal birds' simply because only the Royal Family had the right to eat them. The British Royal Family

??? to be precise, one Swan was offered once a year to the Royal family, I very much doubt this is practiced these days...So to state the Royal family eat swans is a bit stupid.

Polonius3:

Anyone got a good rabbit recipe?

You cant beat rabbit stew, I find it a bit tough if its not braised for a long time, its actually having a bit of a revival in the UK, it was popular after WWII because meat was in short supply but it fell out of favour and was seen as a poor mans meat when things got better..Now its seen as sustainable and healthy..

Polonius3:

farm-bred rabbit

Why would anyone want that? I prefer wild rabbit that has had a happy and organic life, not some animal who was raised in a controlled environment..

Is rabbit shooting permitted in the UK and Ireland? What does a licence cost?

In the UK the hunting of rabbits involves the use of ferrets (domesticated polecats)in rabbit hunting.
First the hunter finds the rabbit warren. Once located the hunter lays down catch-nets over all the rabbit holes. The next step is to place one or two ferrets down the rabbit holes without disturbing the catch-net. Now the hunter waits, for a rabbit to run out of the warren into a catch-net.
Shooting with air-rifles does not need a license but the use of shotguns requires a license.

This in itself is quite rare. Rabbits as well as wood-pigeons dont require a licence to be shot as they are considered a "pest" therefore removing them isn't regulated. You do require a licence to own a shotgun though. I love pigeon and geese shooting, rabbits i like too, but they make a hell of a noise if you don't kill them straight out (like a pig dying).

polkamaniac: ferrets (domesticated polecats) Cool - didn't actually realise that - I thought ferrets were just...ferrets.

Polonius3: Any królik (rabbit) fanciers on PF? When I was a little girl, I'd eat rabbit with my dad. I remember the meat tasting very similar to chicken. If I were to taste rabbit today, I'd probably throw up. Can't stand the thought of eating Bugs Bunny :( A sincere thanks PF, for putting up with me FIVE terrific years, muah!

trener zolwia: Yeah, there are a number of other animals that are just as tasty and aren't so cute. Most people that squirm at the thought of eating rabbit or squirrel don't have a problem eating a burger or chicken tenders. Hunt what you eat people! It's good for you, it's good for the environment!

Frozen, dressed rabbits ready to cook can sometimes be found in major Polish supermarkets (LEvlerc, Carrefour, etc.)

Doesn't eating a bunny feel like eating a cat?

Marynka11: Doesn't eating a bunny feel like eating a cat? Apparently the two are very similar, hence the term "roof rabbit" and Larousse Gastronomiqe including a comparative illustrations of the bones so you can tell which you are being served.

Yuck, my breakfast is coming back. They can actually serve you cat for a rabbit?

HarryThreads: 62 Posts: 8,508 Joined: May 2, 07 ♂ [Suspended]	Mar 9, 11, 15:45 #55
Marynka11: They can actually serve you cat for a rabbit? I meant it hypothetically. I've never eaten cat and so can not comment from personal experience but everything I have read suggests that cat can be used to replace rabbit in pretty much any recipe which calls for rabbit. Just google "roof rabbit" and "cat".

Oh well, Americans eat squirrels. If I had choice between a rat and a cat.... Hmmm..

Anyone ever heard of nutria? Never tasted one but they are rumoured to be quite nice. They're mainly raised for their fur.

My uncle in Ostrów Wielko-Polski breeds these rodents(rats) for their pelts.He says he gets good money for their skins.When I was there ,I asked him what he does with the meat after they are skinned.He won't eat them because they are considered oversized rats but he does use them to feed the ones that he breeds.They look like a beaver but instead of a wide flat tail,they have a rat tail.
"Nutria is a rodent and a rat. Originally native to temperate South America, it has since been introduced to North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, primarily by fur ranchers. Although it is still valued for its fur in some regions, its destructive feeding and burrowing behaviors make this invasive species a pest" .
