ShaggyRS6 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 At last, I felt the time was right. Bought myself a nice knife this morning and thought it was about time I got round to gutting a Rabbit. I done 2, took them to the butcher who gave me an 8 out of 10 he also taught me how to "leg" them as I had no idea. I am assuming I got all the bits out. The liver as well.

Dunkield Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 On a slightly more serious note, did you not get on with the Gerber Lee? I know it's a purely personal thing, but gut hooks worry me, having sharp bits on both sides of the blade is a disaster waiting to happen for me...

ShaggyRS6 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 TBH the Gerber is too small for me. The hook is fine, you cant really do yourself any damage as the gap is not really big enough to get a finger in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyRS6 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Its a real weight of off my mind though. I know it sounds stupid, but that was the only thing left that I did not feel capable of doing. I'm happy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatingisbest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 What do people call the tube with all the droppings pellets in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Thanks Pin. Nice one. I was actually ******* myself as I read this, cos as you were obviously working hard in Photoshop, I was too trying to figure out how to put a target on the bunnies heeeed. Cant work out how to make a Mildot jpeg tranparent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 What do people call the tube with all the droppings pellets in it? That's actually part of the anus, but I call it the **** tube. Works for me If you are careful with the tail/*** you can pull all this through in one. Also, CupramanRR - you'll get used to it but pinch inside the chest cavity at the right place and you'll get used to pinching the stomach downover, leaving the liver intact. Just make sure the liver is blood red, with no white spots or obvious discolouration or it could be a bad sign / liver fluke and you'd not want to be using the liver. Meat is fine though!

I just stuck me two fingers inside like the butcher told me, hooked them over the top of what I could feel and pulled. I guess I will get better at it. At this stage I dont care what comes out, as long it does without making a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Couple or 12 of rabbit livers, fried for nothing more than 30 seconds a side with a shallot in olive oil on a high heat, well seasoned with pepper, out of the pan and deglaze with brandy, all that into the same processor and blend with a little breadcrumbs, double cream and a splash of port. Cook in a Bain Marie Tasted you won't be loosing the livers as readily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancs Lad Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 seems like you forgot the lungs and the heart. Once paunched, look up the rib cavity and you will see the diaphram. Tear through this and you will see the lungs and heart. A quick pinch out and job done. Kidneys will also still be attatched to the body cavity after the Slit and Slop..........again a quick twist out and job done..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
