    Mmmmm. Meat Rabbits! The upside-down-back-flipped B’s make ‘em look jumpy.

    Like exclamation marks that are big wedges leaning forward with big square dots. You only use one of those at a time.

    What am I talking about? You only ever use one exclamation mark at a time!

    Rick beat me to the punch, but I like to say ‘meat rabbits’, so I’l say it.

    Meat rabbits.

    I bought 26lbs of meat from them this morning. No rabbit, though.
    They are good people!

    Amazing.

    And it made me think of the photo I took on Gozo: “Fresh Rabbits”. It’s here if you’re interested. You have to scroll down a bit.

    Anyway you say it, good eatin’.

    ‘Most good as poodle.

    Now, AH AM talkin’ ’bout french poodle. Eat it on little plates with small forks, pinkies out.

    Rabbit is very good, whether it holds up against Poodle, Rick, I have no idea – perhaps when i come visit we can do a taste test?! I assume when you say Poodle you mean a standard?

    Teensy poodles, one for each.. Like Cornish hens.

    The slightly larger poodles are fine for stews. Fifi au chasseur.

    Your standard poodle, you want a barbeque pit.

    I have always liked the little fact that if you eat only rabbits you will starve.

  10. Rick Neece on December 29th, 2009 at 9:38 pm

    Ross, as with Cornish hens, you will starve as you eat them. Before I met Danny, I oncet fixed game hens for Thanksgiving dinner for an erstwhile boyfriend who came up from Little Rock to visit over the holiday. It was my first attempt at a fancy dinner-for- two.

    I don’t remember what went in the sauce, but it was chemically delightful. I remember how it changed when it reached temperature in the saucepan, from a gelatinous goo to a ruby-red, glossy, lit-from-within sauce. “Ooh,” I said. I remember saying it out loud. “Ooh!”

    The “if you eat only rabbits, you will starve” rule is species-specific, right? I mean, it doesn’t hold for your stoats, does it?

  12. Dave Vogt on December 30th, 2009 at 10:31 am

    It holds for any extremely lean animal. Without starches and fats to break down for energy, the body turns to protein. Protein is a terribly inefficient source of energy and leaves behind some nasty byproducts. The starvation that results is a combination of lack of digestible energy and an accumulation of these toxic byproducts.

    And now you know!

    Dave Vogt, you remain a font of unexpected wisdom.

    So if they’re fat rabbits, it’s okay?

    I’m asking for a friend.
