Those dumbasses are mistaken with the fact that if all you eat is rabbit, every meal, every day. You could die. Because its flesh virtually have no fat. A serving of rabbit won't kill you, and is in fact delicious.

its just that the meat is very lean

>"....among those forest Indians who depend at times on rabbits, the leanest animal in the North, and who develop the extreme fat-hunger known as rabbit-starvation. Rabbit eaters, if they have no fat from another source—beaver, moose, fish—will develop diarrhea in about a week, with headache, lassitude and vague discomfort. If there are enough rabbits, the people eat till their stomachs are distended; but no matter how much they eat they feel unsatisfied. Some think a man will die sooner if he eats continually of fat-free meat than if he eats nothing, but this is a belief on which sufficient evidence for a decision has not been gathered in the North. Deaths from rabbit-starvation, or from the eating of other skinny meat, are rare; for everyone understands the principle, and any possible preventive steps are naturally taken."

If you ONLY eat rabbit meat you can die from lack of fat in your diet, since rabbit so extremely lean (so called "rabbit starvation").
But eating rabbit is not "negative calories" or like "skipping a meal", and just eating one "fat-less" meal of rabbit wont make you starve to death.

Its overpriced everywhere, unless its some 3rd world shithole, or someone selling roadkill.
The primary way to obtain rabbit is to run it over with your car, or have a fast dog who can kill one. Who the fuck would pay 8 bucks a pound for low grade meat? I could have prime steak for that cost.

I might have a priviledge for living in literally "the land of many rabbits"

as for "it tastes bad" you are supposed to make stews with it or my favorite way: garlic rabbit

For 4-6 people
1 butchered rabbit (1kg)
2 garlic heads
250 ml white wine
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
Thymus, Bay laurel, Rosmarimus

Cut the garlic and sweat them in olive oil till its golden and then throw the rabbit meat, alongside the salt, peper and herbs.
Once the meat is brown you put the white wine and let it cook till only the oil remains

and presto, it tastes great and vampires won't approach you for 4 hours. Accompanny with fried potatoes or just some lettuce

>Alsatian (NW french/german/swiss Rhine valley)

Jackrabbit is a hare, not a rabbit per se. It's a dark-meat animal closer to venison than rabbit, which is a light meat, but you should still braise or stew it for most things. They also tend to be much larger than rabbits, one good sized hare can feed four people easily.

Texas. The jacks out here can get pretty big, and I usually stew or braise them with lots of root vegetables and such. If you've got big eaters it might only be a 2-person animal, but if you've got appetizers or sides then 1 leg per person plus some backstrap isn't a bad serving.

It’s really useless meat. I bought a couple down the Kent coast one year from some farm shop. Thought I’d make a casserole for me and the dogs but the meat is shitty. Stringy, tastes a bit like gamey chicken, but the biggest problem with it were the bones. I thought I could cook the saddle complete then just slide the meat off like with chicken but they actually sort of disintegrate because they’re so fine so it landed up being mouthfuls of shitty tasting, stringy, half melted bones. Awful. Landed up chucking it away and went and got me and dogs some nice steaks for dinner instead. Total waste of time.

I've done it grilled and stewed. Definitely better stewed - it's very lean and (in my experience) slightly gamey, but a bit of browning in some oil, and a bit of braising in something complex with a slight bitterness or earthiness to it, and it's pretty gosh darned good.

Grilled straight up (yakitori style) with some soya and scallion wasn't bad at all, but that's definitely chicken's rightful domain.
