When I was a kid I was in convalesance from an illness and our family Doc suggested I find an out door hobby. It just happened it was around Easter and a family member gave me a bunny.
And that was a start to me raisnig rabbits. I had Little Dutch, Chinchillas, and New Zealand Whites. Won a lot of prizes from them at the county fair.
As far as eating them, I thought they tasted lousy. Maybe it was because they were pen raised. There is nothing better than a good Cottontail fried slowly and gravy made from the pan drippings.
My Grandmother used to make great Hasenpepper also. Wrenchman is correct about the seasoning of pen raised rabbits. Thats why the hasenpepper was so good.
