neil cooney 10,416 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I would rather eat a clump of hairs than sink my teeth into a real Hare.Cannot beat a slow cooked hare casserole or a pie, as good or better than roe venison to meI have only eaten Hare once (basically the first one that my whippet retrieved one day). It was possibly the worse tasting meat that Ive ever had. I usually cook it and feed it to my dogs, put some veg with it and it makes 4 very big meals so lasts me 2 days with my 2 dogsTry putting the meat in a bowl of cold water with some salt for a few hours or overnight this takes the strong gamey flavour awayDrifter mate, the strong gamey flavour is surely the best thing about it. That's why you can whack in wine, port or guinness when you "jug" it. That's what I reckon anyway and I've eaten quite a few hares in my time. It's one of my favourites along with venison hung in a cold place for at least a week.Farmed meat is for pussies. Heard hare meat described as an acquired taste, remember one of the well known chefs mentioning something like roast baron of hare with a chocolate sauce being an unbeatable dish Sounds un eatable to me. I can't imagine chocolate in a meat dish but I'd probably give it a go if it was there. I'd try most things at least once. Plenty of top restaurants serving up venison with chocolate now, so why not Hare ? Not that I'd be eating in such establishments but see it on many cookery shows. Quote Link to post
terryd 8,646 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Me and the wife enjoy a nice tender cooked hare. Not many around here so I don't go out my way. Because they are thin on the ground if you want to net one you really need to do your homework Quote Link to post
