When I was growing up my neighbor raised (and ate) rabbits. I was friends with the daughter and ate at their house all the time, but I could NOT eat the bunnies. I tried but I just couldn't swallow! LOL!

I was a country girl for sure - we raised and ate beef, pigs, and chickens - but I could not eat the next door neighbors bunnies!

That reminds me of the time I was a vegetarian for two weeks. I went to my moms hometown Gudalajara, MX and went to the market. They were twisting the chickens neck and plucking the feathers. When I went to my aunts house the chickens feet were in the sink A few days later we went somewhere and while waiting for the bus I saw man carrying a whole peel cow to the butchers. Not to mention seeing pigs heads displayed. I was a traumitized 9 yr old.

And my mom wonders why I like the OR.

I like rabbit. We used to have a couple that raised rabbits and they would bring fried rabbit to church dinners. Of course, my husband's a hunter and we've eaten lots of things!! Something that's good and very different is snapping turtle!! It's very good!!!

My daughter's raised a couple of rabbits when they were young and they left their cage in the sun and so ours didn't last very long either. Amy's girls have had rabbits for the last 2 or 3 years but they're just pets......no fried rabbits for them!!!

Well.....it would probably be easier if you were eating one that you didn't know the name of!!!!

Dae Lynn and Damon are in the process of getting goats and chickens. The goats will be for meat and milk.....they've been advised to NOT name any of the animals because it makes it harder to eat them!!!! We'll see how it goes!!!

I can eat the chikens we raise but I don't think I could eat goats we had raised. I ate pigs we had raised too. We raised a little bull calf and then had him slaughtered but they SAID they swapped out the meat so we weren't eating Buford. LOL!
