Cooking a Rabbit
So now you caught one... How do you cook it? Wild rabbit is a wonderful bushcraft meal. Healthy and lean a rabbit is pure protein. So much so that if it is all one eats you can suffer from a malady called Rabbit Starvation. Quoting from wiki,
"Rabbit starvation, also referred to as protein poisoning, is the form of acute malnutrition caused by excess consumption of any lean meat (e.g. rabbit) coupled with a lack of other sources of nutrients usually in combination with other stressors, such as severe cold or dry environment. Symptoms include diarrhea, headache, fatigue, low blood pressure and heart rate, and a vague discomfort and hunger that can only be satisfied by consumption of fat or carbohydrates."
But don't let this put you off hunting them. Just don't forget the carbs and fat.
