Silly question badly phrased, Having never cooked rabbit but eaten it and Hare in France , just wondered what is the best way to cook them, and what Sean does!   !

Bunny food.I would love to say I hunt it, kill it, cook it and eat it but in reality I dont. To bag a rabbit with the hawk is sport and the brit is simply a way of finding it. Most things we catch is frozen down, a rabbit will feed my hawk for 4 or 5 days and to see him hunt above a decent dog is something i will never bore of. Cleo the (spoilt) brit is 3 and a half now and just coming into her own...not as steady as my old gsp who we lost a year ago but she's getting there.Love the occasional gamebird but cant remark on Hare...I hear they're very rich and bloody. ps we're having Tesco indian takeaway for tea

Rabbit is lovely roasted or made into a casserole with veggies [only use the back end as it is meater], If you have a hare again use the back end and do it with some chicken to take the strong taste of the hare away.

Hare to me is the ultimate!!! even beats venison. If you cannot rip their ears then they will be aged and if male quite strong which is an acquired taste for some. Either way I think it is fabulous; no fat to speak of. No wonder once an upon only the titled were permitted to hunt and eat it!! Very fascinating animal. | ||

Neat neat fotos, Sean. More please!!! | ||

Brilliant photo's, have seen the occasional topic on "falcons" but could never really grasp how it all works. It looks facinating, having 2 x completely different trained animals working together, facinating!
Cheers, Waldo |

Thanks Waldo. It's amazing how quickly both hawk and dog 'gel' .... my Brit is 5 now and I depend on her totally, albeit for sport with the hawk or family bliss. Before her I worked a Gsp.... for serious hawking any pointing breed is a must, although there's something about the Brit ...... h'mmm
