Myxomatosis is a great reason for not eating Rabbit.
Originally, myxomatosis was imported from brazil (where it was first discovered in the 1930's) to Australia in 1950. This was control the massive populations of rabbits in that subcontinent.
How did the disease get to Britian?
The disease was transmitted from Australia by French Physician, Dr A Delille, who wished to control the rabbit population on his country estate near Paris. The disease rapidly spread into the wild population in france and then was brought, entirely by accident, from France in 1953. there is no evidence that the disease was intentionally brought into Britain but there is no doubt that some farmers moved the disease around using diseased rabbits to contro the population of the rabbits locally.

I like Rabbit pie as well as pidgeon pie. There are a lot of less fashionable dishes that seem to on the decline. I hope we can keep them alive(teh dishes, not the rabbits :) )

Re: rabbit pie
 
We were regularly fed on Rabbit pie/stew......but my mother didn't call it rabbit.....she called it Lapin......so we ate it. It wasn't until about 1980 that I found out Lapin is french for Rabbit. We also had jugged hare.......I didn't like that and would not eat the meat......I would secretly feed it to the dog under the table or put it on my brothers plates when they weren't looking.....they would eat ANYTHING!

I haven't eaten rabbit or pidgeon and wouldn't do either, I know dont mock until you try, but I used to have pet rabbits when I was younger and really couldn't face it.

Re: rabbit pie
 
These 2 rabbits, Fluffy and Bunniekins used to use the same pub every day and when they came in they would order a pint and a Cheese Toastie each, one day the barman said "I only have 1 Cheese Toastie and 1 Ham Toastie", "thats ok" said Fluffy "I will have the Ham". Next day Bunniekins came in on hs own and the barman asked "wheres Fluffy?" "Oh he died last night"said Bunniekins, "Died" said the barman "he was only in here yesterday how did he die?"

"Well" said Bunniekins "he was mixing his toasties.":rofl38: :rofl38: :rofl38: :rofl38:

Ok I will now leave the stage.

Eaten rabbit hare pigeon and other wild foods and it does no harm if cooked right.

Re: rabbit pie
 
I love rabbit, but it's not for the poor anymore. I can sometimes get wild rabbit from my butcher in London, which does taste better than farmed rabbit, bung a few dumplings in, lovely. Jugged hare is great, too.

I used to get rabbit quite a bit when I was young and had tea with my Nanna.
Your right MUMMIBOO you did have chicken when you were young.
Your Dad wasn't impressed with it either.

Never had rabbit pie! but me and a couple of mates would go out early sunday mornings..down the Clough and further with dogs a ferret and nets to catch rabbits ... used to roast them in the oven like any meat, good clean well earned food.. I have had the rabbit from butchers shops which is ok.. but of course not quite the same

Used to have rabbit ages ago. I reckon that if you eat beef and chicken, etc, there's no difference with rabbit.

With you on that Gayle but there are very few places that sell it. Going out and shooting your own is an option but could you skin and gut it?
