Well the Mrs went and used all the mushies, in the spaghetti so my attempt tonight was missing them.

Thanks for sharing Scott
Your welcome mate, glad it turned out ok for ya, hopefully w.e will start seeing a few bunnies around here soon too as we have a few ferrets that are in need of a run.
Was the bunny nice and tender?
Yep, Fairly tender. Will be doing it again. Virtually no gamey flavor.
Yeah the gamey flavour comes from the blood I think, once you soak em in vinegar and salt that draws it out of the meat and just leaves you with virtually a chicken flavour which is fine by my as I don't like real gamey meat. The Milk is supposed to help tenderise the meat from my understanding.
Anyway glad you liked it mate, I'm going to do a few Bunny curries when I get some more, they should come up a treat I reckon.
Cut the glands out of the back legs does wonders for that "gamey flavour"...i think thats where the strong pungent flavour comes from...
As an experiment, lately ive not added the salt too the soak, based on the fact that salt draws moisture out.
Cant say its made any noticable difference to be honest...any blood still seems to disperse.
As for blood clots within the body, i know im stating the obvious here, but ive found they are minimised if it gets a good gravity fed bleed...ie; hold a head shot bunny upisde down for a minute or 2 immediately after de-braining it with yr projectile before throwing it the ute, & the soak water seems to be considerably less pink & cleaner meat...
Ive tried to find out why we add the salt to the soak, & havent found a definative answer...
I can only assume it aids in breaking down the clots...
If anyone can tell me why its important to add the salt &/or vinegar id love to know why.
Ive always done it because thats what i was shown from a kid.
Cheers
