So if they’re fat rabbits, it’s okay?

I’m asking for a friend.

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!

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?

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!"

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

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.

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?
