Hi keetoowah.

The Kukri is a Nepalese knife that the Gurkhas carry. They really came into their own during WWII and the Gurkhas developed a fearsome reputation for their adeptness with this awesome blade. There are actually two different size Kukri. One is the everday carry blade that is about 12"-14" long and then there is a much larger one that can be up to 30", or thereabouts long. The bigger one is used for killing oxen and other such manhood proving things. I have heard that a boy is considered a man if he can cleave an ox head from the body in one stroke. Don't know how true this is, but I have no reason to doubt it seeing as how I got the story from a Gurkha soldier on exchange with 6RAR some years ago. We were sharing a couple of pots of Gurkha Rum though so anything is possible.

Have a look at this link:

Keetoowah,
If you would grill or broil that rabbit I'd join ya for dinner but my wife would definitely go for the fried rabbit. You can take the lady out of the South but you can't take the South out of the lady.
The first time I "fried" chicken (three or four tablespoons of olive oil in a 12 inch cast iron pan) for her I think it broke her heart - there wasn't any grease on it and the poor girl couldn't get an oil change out of my cooking.
After seven years of my cooking she can't tollerate much grease in her food anymore but she still talks about fried whatever and hushpuppies. I tell her that there is no need to deep fry cornbread.

For the most part she likes my cooking - especially when I start cooking things like crepes, salmon, stuffed chops and pot-roast with red taters and aspergus. She really likes my dessert crepes.

That is so true sir about taking the girl out of the South but not the South out of the mouth is our family saying. I can cook anything over an open fire
grilled, or fried.
Dont care much for grease either so I oven back my fried rabbit at times.
then there are those times you just have to have the grease or the hubby just aint happy.
hushpuppies are marveleous, with rabbit or walleye and ling.
your wife have any good game recipes to share
have to come up with a special this week to serve at the restaurant.
