So one question I can't seem to find a direct answer to is how long to rest the meat after slaughter. And what about freezing vs rigor mortis?
After quartering the rabbit, can I freeze immediately or should I refrigerate to let the r.m. pass?
When that rabbit is thawed, does it go through rigor mortis then? Or does freezing skip the rigor mortis phase?
If a thawed rabbit has to go through r.m., would it be best to let it thaw in the fridge for a day or so, so r.m. can happen then?
