flavoured rabbits

[woodga 170]

well we have been doing some thinning out with the wires against the rabbits just before they breed, and as we were snaring in woodland that had a good covering of wild garlic we were aware when gutting these rabbits that they had been eating the shoots the smell was unmistakeable i cooked one of these rabbits and the garlic had gone into the flesh flavoured rabbits or what ?also depending on where your catching the colour of the fat around the kidneys varies we normally get yellow fat when they are feeding on hay or whinney bushes have you lot ever had any unusal odours when gutting or fat colourations when catching in different locations ?

Never had garlic flavoured rabbits, unless i added it during the cooking...........but yellow and bright orange fat is not uncommon in these parts. In the area i wire and trap we also have ramsons or wild garlic growing profusley.

I like a rabbit that has been feeding on mangles or sugar beet the meat tastes sweeter somehow.Years ago my grandpa told me never eat a rabbit that feeds on bracken ,because they will be bitter,

woodga, i only eat rabbits from areas where pesticides are not used , woodland, estabiished grazing, or from the top of the surrounding bings,when snaring rabbits one time along a motorway banking where they fed along the roadside , there intestines seemed to be very dark and leathery looking , to much lead pollution along these roadsides due to the thousands of vehicles passing everyday.

wise advise , as eating bracken causes tumours in cattle and sheep .

One of the places i control the rabbits is hard against the Atlantic, very barren, the rabbits there have extremley yellow/orange fat, they strip the Gorse bare. We make wine out of the gorse from this same farm but the rabbits do not taste like it "unfortunatly".

you seem to get this fat discolouration , due to the various types of herbage eaten also in severe hard winter weather when they are stripping alot of tree bark , hawthorne , ash , oak , and wild bushes, these harwoods have a lot of tannin in the bark .
