actually their are several Chefs that swear by silver fox as having the richest flavor, , as far as meat to bone quality a commercial type is going to be a better meal then a Britannia petite , carcass quality is going to effect how you need to prepared and cook it as well as age of the animal. so while all rabbits are edible . starting with good base stock will help ensure a better experience and is also more economical over all when you get into meat to bone ratio and thriftiness on feed and growth rate .

Rex is light and sweet... new zealand is denser and has a beefier quality to it I raise both... I eat both regularly I like rex in my soups and new Zealand in my heavier recipes
