Cotton tails. My very young daughters were mad at me for weeks when I brought home some bunnies I had harvested from the field. Needless to sayIt took them a few years before they warmed up to the idea.
I got asked once if I was going to cook the pet hamster Sarah.
I said only if she bites me and I'm looking for a snack during halftime on Sunday.
All hunt and fish with me regularly now.
I've been called "evil" a few times because I love rabbit and horse ! Put me up there with Pol-Pot, Hitler and Stalin, I think my place in history is obviously secured already. A woman here in the UK actually looked like she was going to be sick. Presumable she expected me to jump on her at some point and start looking for the "Fillet Mignon" ....
I think people are truly very silly and immature about food way too often.
Mind you talking of guinea pigs, my beloved "Anatole" who was a very special Guinea Pig indeed would probably have fought back quite hard had I tried to make him into croquettes ! He had spirit that one !
And Bunnies might be cute and fluffy but what nasty little creatures they can be too ! Their bite, claws and aggressive nature can turn the fluffy critters into quite horrid things. A Doctor friend of mine told me of the damage inflicted by those so called "cute" pets and it ain't pretty.
You and I might not always see eye to eye on certain issues but I think we would make good dinner companions nonetheless !!
Why should we only eat the ugly and deformed anyway, that is just "lookist". Throw the cute ones into the pot if they taste good say I !

I've had hare a few times. More fat on the rabbits so I prefer them. Wild animals are just that wild. Cute domesticated dogs attack, maim and kill people with regularity.
You and I would get along fine. As I was a hard core democrat for half my life. The dinner would be like Hannibal and Clarisse having fava and a nice chianti....

I love Hare, cooked in its own blood with red wine, port and herbs, it is a thing of beauty. Rabbit is so delicious too. I recently had Cassoulet but instead of duck legs it had rabbit in it and it was wonderful. I was not convinced when I first read the menu as Cassoulet is one of my favourite dishes but it actually worked really well.
I am going to Northern Spain ( Asturias, Galicia and Cantabria mostly with a short incursion into Basque country) in May and am relishing all the fresh game and seafood and wonderful sausages and porks coming my way !! I can't wait. And Basque food done well is so, so darn good !
I assume you shall be Hannibal Darling ? You don't sound too scary, both of us are highly opiniated I think but that can fuel good conversations !
What's cute varies from country to country, too. My Russian forbears treated cats as if they were rats. Rats with open sores. But I, all Americanized, think they're cute. I think rats are cute, too, but then I'm a Detroiter.
There aren't many people who eat dolphin, the mammal, but that was the "big scare" at one point when dolphin, the fish, became part of popular gastronomical trend-setting culture. It is known more commoly as mahi-mahi, and it's delicious, and you don't have to worry about hurting Flipper to eat it.
I don't feel bad about eating meat, and I'm not even all that concerned about slaughter practices. Every growing thing on the planet is part of the food chain. The only reason we are currently on top, is because other creatures with opposable thumbs haven't invented nuclear bombs yet.
Until then, I'll have my steak rare, my lobster stuffed, and my chicken chunked, sauteed, and tossed into a field greens salad.
I took my brother on a deer hunting trip. On the way we passed a ranch, I said some of those calves look pretty tasty.
David started sputtering about saying how in the world could I ever eat a cow. I told him he ate some cow just a hour ago from Wendy's. He said "I never did, I had a hamburger". Funny how many people do not know where their meat comes from.
