My Old Man still won't eat rabbit due to the amount he was fed as a kid. Think my nippers will be the same!

They taste like boiled mud - with a hint of fish. Curried they are just about palatable. The plumage is sought after in traditional fly tying circles - so ask your local fly tyers guild if they want any and what feathers....or whole skins. Cure with borax from the chemist.
