I know they used to teach catching, prepping, and eating rabbits in SERE school in the US. Surprised they would teach you to do something that would starve you.

You only starve if rabbit meat is the single food source. The meat lacks fats, enzymes and amino acids humans need to survive in the long term and the human liver consumesmore energy to convert protien into usuable energy than it recovers. Over time you will starve. If you eat the head, gut and organs as well as the meat you won't starve. That's why wild animals take the time to eat the less pallatable parts.

Eat it for flavour, not for nutritional value.

Scavenge some potatoes as well :lol:

If you soak them in a little water with a lemon cut up in it I’ve head that works really well I don’t mind the game taste my self so I don’t bother and you don’t notice it when casseroled down for a few hours with plenty of veggies and garlic salt pepper making me hungry thinking about it it’s starting to get in to that great time of year to enjoy a real hardy meal
I’ve all so had it many time crumbed and fried not bad at all if there’s young ones about
