Pat Riot Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Twice when I was in the Navy they served canned rabbit for dinner. The bones were still in the meat. It was a nice change from the daily serving of canned roast beef dishes. We sometimes had roast beef 3 times a day. - I am not complaining here. Just stating a fact. After eating MREs for a few days, canned roast beef was a godsend comparatively. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, it takes around 15 rabbit pelts to make one of our famous Akubra hats. https://akubra.com.au/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Rabbit fur felt seems to be a decent hat material. Not as tight or durable as beaver, but decent. https://millandhabs.com/pages/custom-order https://www.bon-clic-bon-genre.us/rabbit-fur-felt-hat.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I was reading on Bailey's website, many many years ago. They don't use rabbit. They use South American hare. If their hat just says it's fur felt it's hare. But not rabbit. I did not know the difference, but according to them there is one. I'm glad I proof read. otto said "if their hat just says it's FOR felt, it's HARD". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When KFC opened its first restaurant in Australia, it offered free samples. The most common comment from Aborigines was that it tasted like snake. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly, I yam jaded - literally lived on rabbit for an extended time in my teens. Cooked one once for my son when he was in his early teens ~ he liked it. I tried a taste. Yuk. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Kinda like me and Spam. Grandfather had a couple of food stores. After WWII rationing he was left with Spam that did not sell. Dad was out of the military and in grad school, not a lot of spare money. We got Spam, and I ate it in every possible configuration or recipe. I can't get it past my nose after 7 decades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshot Bear Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 My Mum used to cook apricot (nectar) rabbit in a crock pot for many many hours, it was incredibly good. There's no way 'canned rabbit' would get past my lips. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I like rabbit. Has a meaty, slightly gamey taste. Roasted with potatoes and onions, breaded and fried, stewed. I've had USDA canned pork and canned beef, commercially canned beef (producto de Argentina), and we've been getting tins of canned chicken breast at the food bank. Not the best, but decent. Can make some pretty darned good meals with it. I really enjoy the canned chicken for chicken salad. I've sometimes used the beef or pork to make potted or deviled meat spread (I should try adding Vegemite to it....hmmmm). I don't see that tinned rabbit would be really all that different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a headache from someone frying it, same with fried baloney (balogna). It was nearly 20 years before I could eat sliced roast beef. It was pretty much all we ate aboard ship. Canned roast beef. YUCK! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hare might look very similar to a rabbit, but they are two very different species, with very different social structures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Not the difference between a rabbit and a hare. The difference between rabbit fur and hare fur. I started to say the difference between rabbit hair and hare hair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
