anselpixel Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It's a shot in the dark, but for reasons related to "The Hunger Games," I am being pressured to find "rabbit" in any way possible.Makro has perma-frosted carcasses in Mae Rim, but I'm inclined to buy fresh. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauleddy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I like rabbit, especially some recipes whereby it is cooked with prunes or in beer. However, after eight years, I have yet to see it here. Even Villa stores in BKK don't appear to have it. As I recall, I asked a Thai friend last year re. whether Thais eat it. I am sure that he said no. I'm not sure whether rabbit is even a native animal here. Presumably, rabbits could be farmed. My guess is that the frozen ones are imported from China?

Windy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) We have two as pets. The wife was quite supprised when I asked if we could eat them when they got bigger. She had never heard of eating rabbits. It seems rats, frogs, insects etc are ok to eat, but rabbits are just pets Edited March 1, 2014 by Windy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phrafarang Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 There is a Rabbit breeder in San Sai who, as another poster has said, sells Rabbits for food. there is also a restaurant on the 118 near the Biker Farm Harley shop that sells meals made with Rabbit. We purchased some Rabbits to breed for food a couple of years ago but still have the original seven as the cats have managed to kill every one of the babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anselpixel Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 We looked at the pet shop rabbits, and I wouldn't consider paying the prices they're asking. 600-1500 baht for a plain to fancy critter isn't in the plan. Ideally, a meal at a restaurant would be the best solution. Thanks to all, and I'll try the place mentioned above. The GPS coordinates are much appreciated.

I remember as a teen my chores were to feed them as well as doing all the butchering. The thought of holding them by the hind legs and bashing their little heads in with a 2x4 will always be with me. I could skin and gut a rabbit in just a few minutes. With raising rabbits, chickens, duck, and geese as well as being a taxidermist and an avid hunter/fisherman I don't think we bought any meat in a grocery store ever.

Wild berry and mushroom hunting was always a fun venture with good outdoor exercise.... ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
