bird 10,014 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 not over keen, bit to rich tasting for me, wife used to cook them in nice sauce to thin the flavour down, rather have rabbit,deer, partridge, now thats nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
8shot 192 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 stick it in the slow cooker with a can of cider fekin lovely. tbh, if yer not going to eat it,,you shouldn`t kill it,, leave well alone, killing them for fuckall is a twats game ive had the chance to kill loads..... and its not untill recently i shot one for the pot ... some of the dog men i no .. said it wasnt very sporting.... but like i said it was for the pot and a 1 off time as for cooking it i went on google and typed in jugged hare and followed a 500 year old recipe it was bloody lovey . but saying that i much prefer seeing them in the wild Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woodbine 11 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I always cut of the back and back legs for myself and boil the shoulders for the dogs.I always look forward to eating them ,roasted.Gut ,skin and joint the hares as soon as possible leave the meat in the frige for 3/4 days to hang then season with salt an pepper and roast in the oven.I think they tast similar to beef.I have eaten hares since I was a child when my mother used to stew them.I honestly cant understand why some people dont like the tase of them.

FFS Hugged hare is excellent mate but hare must be hung IMO to get the best out of it. yes your right westy hares should be hung for as long as poss for the emzines to break down in the meat like pheseant should be hung for 7days the meat when cooked goes white like chicken. same as beef hung for 35 days thats takes some beating not like super maket beef gets 35 mins to hung maybe thats why dogs bury meat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 i found it just like pheasant, had it in a stew with gravy and red wine. havent ever ate pigeon so cant compare it. had the saddle and hind legs. the rest went to the dogs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jf1970 328 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 i eat the saddle and back legs, the rib cage i give to the dogs, i take the meat from the bone, place into a casserole dish with carrots, onion, oxo with 1pt of boiling water, pepper and put into an oven at 160 and cook for 2 1/2hrs, any left over juices get mixed into the dogs food, the head goes to the ferrets.

lurcher330 2,301 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Makes a lovely stew can be very gamey ,but even her and the kids love it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I might try it again one day if i can get a young one and find a decent recipe but wele see. could of been an old animal, the old ones get very tough. this recipe is really good and takes away the gameyness and freshens it up a bit! i like jugged hare, royal hare stews good too, but if your not fond of the rich gameyness try this one its great! although it says for hard times but uses saffron! not cheap! http://honest-food.net/2010/02/11/hare-stew-hard-times/ we get a lot, shot n retrieved obviously, mainly retrieved by my mates saluki whippet collie thing, and they taste good and feed a lot of people. there is an awful lot round his way, and the farmers aint too keen on em so want them gone.
