Rabbit Pie

[Brian Cross]

I bought two fresh rabbits from a local butcher on the weekend (a rarity in our state of Queensland) my wife made a rabbit pie complete with heart, kidneys, gravy and a thick pie crust this a meal which makes me think of our home when i was a kid in Millbank Crescent .........i loved it.

add black pudding and streaky bacon and you have perfection :)

[Brian Cross]

You are spot on i forgot the Black Pud

[Merlin]

Away down the golf course to get myself a couple,my belly's rumbling! Thats rabbits not black puds :lol:

Just had a thought:- Was it The Goodies who used to run around with black puddings,shouting "ecky thump" or am I thinking of something else?

A good old slice with a sand wedge usually does the trick :lol:

You didn't really expect me to answer that did you Brian? Hunting in this country is highly ILLEGAL! Especially on Bedders Golf Course :lol:

If it's the one I'm thinking of it's now a hairdressers, unless it was the little shop around the corner which is empty.

Never tasted any of them in my life,what are they like? I would love to hunt but not just for the prize, anything I kill I eat if I don't need to kill I won't. I love fishing and have always wanted to go to Alaska for the salmon and trout!

[Vic Patterson]

Depending on the animal! they all have a "gamey" taste but cooked right tastes very good, many here won't buy meat from the store, (my wife wont eat poor Bambie, or is it Rudolph? because she puts out carrots out for them!)

Most people live here because of the outdoors, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, 4X4 or quading etc (as there is nothing else here!) you love it or leave!

Hunting and fishing are well regulated, (need GPS and a good lawyer!) it is often used to control different species to protect another species etc (that is often controversial) shoot wolves to protect caribou, shoot grizzlies to save us!!!

Fishing! you can fish in the local lakes or streams, trek for a week or fly into remote lakes, my plumber at work just returned from the Yukon, fly into one location, a weeks trek to another, got his trophy sheep. The Americans pay big bucks to hunt up here, (my neighbor is a trapper/ guide) its a great place, but don't tell anyone! (Alaska is about 4-5 days drive)
