It would obviously depend on how you served it, and the size of the animal,
but you can usually figure on a rabbit being the same size as a chicken, so
if you roasted or fried it, it would feed 4, made it into a pie, a table of
8, and if you put it into a stews, as many as you want ;-)

Rabbit is a nice meat to work with- it's a bit exotic for most folks, but
you can use it in any recipe you'd use chicken for. The same cautions apply,
though- a young rabbit can be cooked any way, an older rabbit, like an older
chicken, needs to be tenderized. The flavor things goes the same as well-
older rabbits and chickens have a more intense flavor, so they do take well
to stew types of things.

Also, if you don't have enough rabbit, you can cheat a bit- add boneless
dark meat  chicken to fill out the dish- we have specials here, where you
can buy chicken leg quarters for $0.29 a pound- been living on them, lately.

The rabbits I got for Ras' event were at perfect butchering weight- about 8
weeks old, and very tender, other than the few I picked up at a livestock
auction- do you remember how tough they were to skin, Ras? It's just a
thing, where as they mature, their connective tissues grow more tough and
dense, as with any other animal.

Scotland, the men.
Boswell: Indeed, and where else will you find such horses, and such men?
