Yummers!

Hiya Doggers,

I'm now going into dogger food reviews. I know some of you (hello Miss Diva and Ecco) are garburators and will eat anything live or dead (both recently and long since deceased) and in a so un-west coast attitude think of Organic food as anything that isn't inorganic :P

Like what-evah! You country dogs, so unsofisticated ~: ~: ~: Even if you do live on a beautiful vineyard on Lake Okanagan!

Today, I'm reviewing my latest find from my new best buds at...

Oh yeah baby- I'm talkin' rabbit burgers! Raw rabbit burgers :P

I'm going to evaluate the meal on the following characteristics;

• presentation
  
• look
  
• smell
  
• palatability
  
• texture
  
• colour
  
• easy of consumption
• post meal burp
  
• subsequent flatulence (good) or
  
• GI distress (bad).

So here is the skinny on my Nature's Variety rabbit burger

One medallion = 1 oz. One patty = 8 oz.
