This recipe was a disaster! The Sherried Rabbit turned out tough and dry, and the sauce was watery and tasteless. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I definitely won't be trying this recipe again.

I tried the Sherried Squirrel recipe and it was just okay. The meat was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too thick. I think I'll stick to my usual squirrel recipe.

I found the Sherried Rabbit to be a bit bland. I think it needed more spices or herbs to really bring out the flavor of the rabbit. Otherwise, it was a well-executed recipe.

I wasn't a huge fan of the Sherried Squirrel. The meat was a bit gamey for my taste, and the sauce was too sweet for my liking. However, my husband really enjoyed it, so I guess it's a matter of personal preference.
