Only if they’re chocolate. These don’t look like chocolate….
Katie: Unfortunately not! I’m struggling to imagine a nice texture – I imagine them to be grisly. I guess I shouldn’t knock them till I’ve tried them, though.
One of the most amazing food photos I’ve ever seen. So we eat pigs’s trotters and frogs legs (well, some of us do). So why not rabbits’ ears. It’s the old “pet” thing, surely, as with Korean dog. But I bet you’re right about the gristle.
Trig: Absolutely. Bring out the puppy kebabs
No reason not to eat rabbit ears if you eat rabbit to begin with, but there’s something a little suspect about Mifsud’s post. I’m not so sure it was meant to make us so much aware of what we eat (The Omnivore’s Dilemma and Our Daily Bread did that best) as to offend those whose palates are not so jaded (something which you, Scott, argued with clarity). Mifsud’s subsequent milk and cookies retort provided ample links to the unsettling realities of cocoa and diary production, but did not show the in-you-face photos that already hit the back of your brain before you could blink. I am dismayed at the venomous, threatening reactions of some of those who were offended, but you can’t expect to dangle butchered bunny ears in front of those who have the right to consider rabbits as pets without having some of them go for your throat. The pictorial, despite its terrible beauty, lacked the finesse and diplomacy of the subsequent post, and that’s too bad. I think more was lost than gained in the upheavel.
Susan: Absolutely right. I’m got in a couple of ways though – some of the responses to that article were just plain crazy OTT. I believe in people stating their point of view, but it has to be objective.
