old timer123 367 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Give them to the dogs?!?!?! 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 do ye mean to rot? dogs bury meat for rainy days when fodders in short supply Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3175darren 1,100 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 When we used to sell them to the game dealer he insisted we left the gutts in,and said the were going to poland,I would have thought they had enough over there, If we were eating them ourselves, we used to gut em straight away and empty the chest just as you would a deer,get as much blood out as possible,really top meat to eat mind a good plate full, really nice used in a curry slow cooked, All the gamedealers I take them to, want them with guts in... exported to russia no doubt? Probably but must make the meat taste very strong,my farther used to bring loads back from gedney drove end off the sea wall in the 1970s,and hang em in the garage for a week before gutting em,I was never keen on them then,but when we got one off the pit stack with the dogs we would gut it,Immeadiatly to make it easy to carry,these tasted totally different to ones dad got, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MR TEA POT 1,287 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Joint the hare, i use saddle,back legs and front legs,the ferrets or dog has the ribs,after i take the heart out,kidneys and liver, wrap in tin foil along with the heart,kidneys and liver, with a knob of butter,mushrooms salt and pepper Then throw on the the embers of a fire(or cook in oven)for about 1 hour. It will be very nice and tender.Just make sure its wrapped in foil well so no steam or juice can escape. My and the missus love it,if we have some wood to burn in the back garden we will cook then al fresco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mick C. 229 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Take the meat off the bone cut it into cubes and shallow fry it with home cured bacon fat Add a dessert spoonful of plum jam. Dont over cook it Eat it straight from the pan You wont be dissappointed I was never keen on it until a freind cooked it this way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
