Question

When disjointing a rabbit, you cut away the hind and front portions of the loin to A. open the belly cavity. B. produce the saddle. C. separate the front legs and shoulder. D. remove the hind legs

Answer 1

Answer:

A. open the belly cavity

Explanation:

Step 1: Lay the rabbit on it's back with it's hind legs facing you. Separate a hind leg by cutting along the seam of the thigh muscle until you expose the leg joint. Push the leg back until the joint separates.

Step 2: Follow through with your knife, making a few small cuts to remove the leg. Repeat on the other side.

Step 3: Lift a forequarter by the elbow joint and cut all around the shoulder area until the leg comes off—it should separate easily. Repeat with the other forequarter.

Step 4: Flip the rabbit belly side down. Run your knife along either side of the spine and down the rib cage to release a bit of each loin; then you can pull away the rest of it—the belly flaps will remain attached to the carcass. Cut each loin in half.
