Interesting stuff, never realised that a Jackrabbit was a hare, & you can eat as much as you like, without putting on weight, brilliant!!!! Thanks for this.

I have heard stories of old hunters in the US dying from malnutrition because they were only eating jack rabbits.

Which is why many rabbit/hare dishes utilize some form of additional fat (bacon, prosciutto, salt pork, butter, olive oil, etc.).

It is also interesting that the Wikipedia page mentions the Romans in Spain suffering from rabbit-starvation, since the origins of the name of Spain ("Espana"), is widely believed to be a bastardization of the (IIRC) Phoenician name for that land "Hisperia". Which loosely translated means "The land of rabbits" or "Rabbit Land".

Try Hare done in a slow cooker for 4 hours on medium, with plum sauce in which to immerse it.
