A supersize 'solution' to a giant problem

David Crossland in Berlin

A German pensioner who won a prize and worldwide fame for breeding his country’s largest rabbit — Robert, a 10.5kg (23lb) bruiser the size of a dog — has been offered an unusual opportunity to exploit his talents overseas.

Karl Szmolinsky has been given a contract by North Korea to supply giant rabbits to help to boost meat production in the reclusive Communist country, which is suffering severe food shortages. The only problem is that such huge rabbits consume vast quantities of food themselves as they grow.

Wow! Now that's a big bunny! It must have seemed like a good solution to the food shortages problem, too.

I love the way the article has a recipe at the end

My mom's cats love bunnies - I think this one would challange them though.

Great find! this article is now "doing the rounds" at my work

 

[Azathoth]

So now the question is, where can I get one?

 

[Joel007]

Korea, i'd guess.

Yup, served on a plate.
