      @Captain MufDyven sounds like a good time to me! I've had similar experiences with my father and grandpa. We would bring back our catch of the day for the family after bonding and having a great time hunting/fishing. Depending on what we caught is what we would prepare and eat later. And boy let me tell you, I've never seen anyone clean rabbit and quail the way my grandma would. She did it so fast making it look so easy while leaving almost no wasted meat on the bones. I miss those days as my grandparents have both passed on and my father is no longer able to get out and hunt like he used to. Me and my nephews are carrying on the legacy and I'm passing down all the knowledge I've gained to the next generation of my family. Still no kids of my own but that's something I intend to change in the future.

    Although the meat is like a chicken, the anatomy of a rabbit is that of a quadruped like any lamb pork or beef. At my shop we used to debone them _whole_ so no cutting into quarters, and then we stuffed them and rolled them in caul before tying them up.

For people who get lowere quality nutrients pork is much better because of the fat and even in well developed countries you still need fat in your diet. But it’s all about moderation.

    sometimes the gaminess is off putting. but it taste like chicken so i think if people can get used to it, its a great alternative to chicken.

      Everything is described as tasting like chicken, so in fact chicken is an alternative to everything else.
