Rossi Gal's First Taste of Exotic Meat

Lately, I am pretty into making stews, not just for Rossi gal, but also for hubby and myself. Hubby insisted on getting some exotic meat for Rossi gal at this particular specialty meat shop that we discovered. He specially chose a lean cut of Rabbit Meat for our sweet little darling!

Raw Rabbit Meat


This is the finished product, "Rabbit Stew". 

I used the Rabbit rib-bones that are left after deboning the meat to do up a broth. The Deboned Rabbit Meat together with Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Celery and Lentils are then added to broth for stewing.

The stew tasted sweet.The rabbit meat tasted kinda like chicken though. Rossi gal kept running into the kitchen to check out the stew while I was cooking it. I took some bits of the rabbit meat and let her have a first taste of it. She absolutely loves it and wants more! At this time, the Rabbit Stew is already gone..All finished up by Rossi gal, she made sure she munched up every bit of meat and licked off every drop of soup! LOL! ;P

Someone asked if this is meant for human consumption. Well, in my opinion, the answer is very obvious. Don't the ingredients shown look human edible? Also,the fact that I love Rossi Gal so much to cook her meals, would I let her eat food that is less than Human Grade? 

Perhaps I might have mis-interpreted the question. Perhaps this individual was trying to ask if this is meant for our personal consumption or for Rossi Gal. But either way, I view it as an insult. I feel offended. I could not help but have the impression that this individual may be trying to imply that Rossi Gal supposedly should not be given such "Gourmet Food". I tried, but still, I could not find it in my heart to give any benefit of doubt.

I do not see why my Rossi Gal, my loveable, loyal and innocent baby gal should eat anything less than Human Quality. To me, she deserves to have the best I could give her. Thus, in my opinion, if there is nothing constructive to say and also to avoid any form of misunderstanding, its perhaps better to remain silent.

  1. It looks great! Hmm, I would think the person who pose that question to you meant no harm?

    He/ She might say that not because they are not worthy of gourmet food, but more of the salt content / ingredients that human can take but dogs can't.

    Because it really looks like what my mum would stew for my siblings and me! (A compliment btw :D)

    And without tasting it for ourselves, we don't know how much is the salt content in that soup ma.

    But then again. It really realllly looks good.

  2. Hi there,if I'm not wrong, you are from Pets Channel right? I remember your avartar pic. :)

    Thanks for your compliment and Thanks for dropping by my blog. :)

    All the foods I made for my gal has no salt added and I never include any ingredient that she cannot take. I am careful with what I let her eat. I boiled the soup with the bones to make it taste nicer, then add all the other ingredients to make the stew. I also taste all the foods I make for her to ensure they pass my "quality test" before letting her eat. In short, I'm her guinea pig. ;P

    Well, for this person's comment, its a "she" by the way. To me,the way she asked her question is actually quite sarcastic and offensive.So its hard not to feel the way I do.In my opinion, her comment is really uncalled for.

    Well, once again, thanks for dropping by.Really appreciate it. ;)
