Do you remember eating rabbit?
I remember eating rabbit for a meal as a child. I also remember my sister crying as we ate as these rabbits were raised and cared for by us. Mom could never convince us that we were eating chicken!
I am sure that many homesteaders and others ate rabbit caught in the wild, but there were also many local people that raised rabbits for this purpose.
I do remember rabbits being raised locally and taken to Canada for a market.
On a recent broadcast of Under the Big Sky, there was a discussion concerning the interesting fact that rabbit was actually raised as a meat animal.
I was also reminded of other edible meats that were requested from retailers in years past.
That is an interesting fact that we can discuss later.
