I remember when travelling through the countryside of France I was offered Rabbit Stew......They took a rabbit ..Skinned it and gutted it and plopped the whole thing in a stoc...

The first time I par-thawed meat, grinded it, made some snaggers and refroze them I felt that I was also 'committing a Cardinal Sin'.
