Ok, so I was looking forward to dispatching my first rabbit. Today was the day. I watched youtube videos and read everything here (just like a newbie butcher, yeah, I know, lol).
I was anticipating the wringer method, but noooo... the ol bop and bleed is what this guy does. Ok, not a problem there... but I was asking why this method and he said "the wringer method causing bleeding inside (because the heart stops), landing mostly in the shoulders".He stated that it tasted like bruised meat. He wanted the heart to continue to beat and push out the blood from the body.
Makes sense, but does it make that much of a difference? He was obviously skilled and informed. My problem would be aim, I mean the "bop" wouldn't bother me, but what if I missed ~ yuck, bop bop bop... ewww (sorry about the visual, but that's what I keep seeing in my head).
No turning back now... I have meat rabbits as of today. Just wanted opinions about the "bruised taste" and the ol bop and bleed method.
(humm,*re-reading the post*... I am not meaning to sound disrespectful of the rabbit in any way. I guess I am just trying to distance myself from the harshness. Sorry if I offended anyone.
Medical field = sick, twisted, and morbid thoughts, writings, and verbalizations about everything ~~ even at the dinner table.
