Wild garlic leaves to wrap rabbit?

[Tobias]

First post here so hello - from Scotland myself

Never been out camping or using bushcraft skills but I avidly watch ray mears and love the skills he uses.

I was reading a thread about burdock leaves to wrap meat. Some people said it contained poisonous oxalic acid and shouldn't be used. I thought that since there's such an abundance of wild garlic and the leaves can become quite large - could you use this to wrap rabbit caught so it's not outright incinerated and dried out from the heat of the stones? Or even as a stuffing along with other herbs / plants.

Post your ideas and suggestions, as well as what else could be used to flavour "baked" rabbit.

Sure - wild garlic is lovely and you can eat all of it - buds, flowers, leaves and bulb

I used to eat too much of it at once and got fed up with it.
Everything in moderation is my motto now.

I dont see why you couldnt do that! I had a lovely bit of rabbit the other day slow cooked in ale and wild garlic.

ooo that sounds lovely - in a stew?

Also guys what other herbs could I use to stuff / flavour rabbit that can be found in Scotland?

There are quite a few plants that are grown for food that contain oxalic acid I tend to avoid eating them to excess as they do agrivate athritis, some notes of interest on this site http://oxalicacidinfo.com/

That's what I do, bootiful way to cook rabbit.
