    Oh to be back in my youth and know life's possible events of course
    We were a cash poor family, but dad provided plenty of food by all sorts means I can remember me and my siblings fighting over who's turn it was to have the rabbits head (we loved eating the brains)
    A big treat for me around my 10th or 11th was a first pair of long trousers

    I hope he had a splendid day.
    Mick.

    Yes, Mick ... since you and I are of the same vintage, I can relate to your memories of growing up in the austere *1950s.

    Wasn't too keen on eating rabbit though ... , as *that, of course, happened to be the time of the myxomatosis scare.

    And I also remember the excitement of getting my first pair of long trousers. Yet, strangely enough, I tend to grab the opportunity of wearing shorts whenever possible nowadays.

    Rabbit pie and pigeon pie those was the days,
    I did not eat the rabbit's head but would away want the rabbit's foot, and remember the chicken foot when you use to chase the girls pulling the tendon so it would open and close , happy times

    This was all before I realised about myxomatosis , I got a right telling off from father for catching a wild rabbit and taking it home, it had myxomatosis, have not eaten one since either

    Thanks too, Michael ... for your greetings. Funnily enough, though, for a few years or so - before Ewan and his sister, Freya came along - their Mum & Dad (my daughter, Fiona and her husband Dean) had a pet rabbit, which they called 'Honey'!

    You know, I haven't eaten Rabbit for many years.
    My dad used to get rabbit for us for years and years every Wednesday dinner time
    It was OK but ...............

    For whatever reason I just cannot eat it these days at all
