Bloomin heck - you are going to an awful lot of trouble for this BBQ  rubschin:

By the time you have incinerated the meat will it have mattered where it came from ?  lol:

I don't think that buying a BBQ, some charcoal and a few sausages constitutes excessive preparation

Well that went well  cloud9:

Some home made bangers, some good steak and then, on impulse, some ostrich burgers and a whole wabbit.

I asked about the provenance of the wabbit.

I wonder if Growler likes Wabbit Pie  rubschin:

The Wabbit has no fur. And they fed his head to the ferrets. Any recipe suggestions, hound?

Pot roast in advance ~ remove all bones (and wabbits have a lot of nasty sharp little bones) then make a pie with the meat and serve cold as an alternative to the BBQ meat.

Another good plan would be to make a terrine with the meat and serve it with salad as a starter. cloud9:

Wabbits may run away but they aren't entirely spineless or lily livered you know.


Top tip: When buying a wabbit ask the butcher to joint it for you  ::)

Perhaps its a case of preparation. The higher quality the meat the harder it will be for Nick to gub the BBQ or someting.  rubschin:
