Not a recipe, but a ?

When you are serving (or sold a packaged rabbit) to someone who's new to rabbit, do you warn them about the small (tiny) bones? Particularly in the leg? I was thinking about this the other day as I looked at the "bunny wings" I was making. They look so much like chicken, which has no small nasty bones, that it's easy to just go into the robotic eating mode and suddenly get a bone stuck.

Hmmm... I must be a careful eater... Never noticed any dangerous small bones. But yeah, better to mention it than have someone come to grief.

Same here, Maggie... but I'll try to notice exactly what bones there are next time.

:lol: okay. I'll stop worrying. It's just that Mike comments EVERY TIME we have rabbit about the bones in the legs.

I would warn them, but I've never noticed any bones really. My husband REFUSES to eat meat with skin or bone on it (silly city boy) so I have to pick through the meat before I feed him.

I had to laugh at this! :lol: My husband is very much a city boy too! He loves cooking and food though and grew up in a mixed ethnicity neighborhood in LA so he will try anything at least once often 2 or 3 times in case it gets better or tastes better cooked differently.
However my dad (who raised me pretty country by choice with my mom) won't eat anything on the bone, doesn't eat skin, innards, organ meat, dark meat, sea food, fish etc. I'm hoping my kids will be more like their dad and that we will find more variety and options then I was raised on.
