Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

No My Folks quit raising Rabbits though...

I want to get into rabbits... you know, after the turkeys. Boyfriend wants to get a dog, too. I'm incredibly happy that he doesn't want to get a kid, and as I've brought hundreds of animals into this house, so I guess I can approve a dog.

Probably be hard finding a good dog recipe though if it doesn't work out.

Suggested Wine: San Miguel Beer
Serving Ideas : Rice, naturally.

NOTES : During my wedding reception, my brother- in-law suggested we add to the
feast by having dog stew. Wanting to be part of the family, and having been
subjected to all sorts of socials tests already, I agreed. The result was...
well.. a lot better than I expected. In fact, it was great!

It was only later I found out that dog should *not* be served at weddings, as
itmay make the bride and groom flight like dogs during the honeymoon. But what
the heck. It didn't seem to have that effect... at least not until a few year
later.

For the faint of heart, you can always substitute lamb in place of next door’s
rover, but the meat will not be as sweet or as rich in flavor.

Reminds me of the year I lived in Korea. The camp I was at was down the road from a "dog farm." I think you could find a recipe on the internet if you needed one.

Quote: Ok, This is from a memory from before Kindergarten, so what would that be, something like 48 years ago and I was a kid at that. I vaguely remember really liking eating those rabbits and looking forward to dinners when we ate them.

It looks like I may be in the market for Rabbits too. Better get started on a hutch.

Wonder what I was actually served at my wedding, then. Probably snake.

All jokes aside, we used to have a "mystery meat" night back in Maryland when I was a kid. We'd drive down to Nanjemoy for it annually. They only told you what it was at the end of the night. I ate some strannnnnnnnnnnge things. I cried when I found out venison (one of the "normal" items on the menu) was Bambi.

I don't care for venison but elk meat is wonderful. My dad told me that the best, tenderest meat he had ever had was moose. I wouldn't mind trying that. AK Michelle, you got any handy?

I've got moose in my freezer! Boyfriends mom got a permit (and a moose) this year.
I had some of it ground up and made into sausage and it was melt in your mouth good (from a [besides recently excepting home raised chicken] vegetarian!)

Here's a pic with the crazy air cell. These were set on the 17th, but some of them have these huuuuggge air cells that dip. This is one of the smaller ones but the only one with a good pic. Some go almost all the way down the egg. But the embryos are alive. Any recommendations?

I have one that looks EXACTLY like this! I was going to do an eggtoscopy on it since I can't see anything in it other than the air cell (it's a dark olive colored egg) but I'm glad I didn't!

Funny thing about the moose meat my dad had. His uncle was a Maine Statie and calls up his dad one night. Tells his dad to grab all the suitcases and newspaper he can possibly carry and come meet him and ask no questions. Come to find out, his uncle had come up on a very recent carcass and the poachers had taken off. They butchered it in place, wrapped the meat in newspaper, and filled the suitcases with as much meat as they could carry out. My dad said it was the best eating winter they had his whole life with a freezer full of moose meat.

On another note, has anyone heard from Renee about setting up another thread for the turkey hatch? I have got to start planning on when I am going to ship you the eggs but I don't want to do it too soon.
