Then, since rabbit head has such a broad market, why is rabbit meat rare? In fact, most rabbit meat in China is exported. According to customs statistics, we export about 5,000 tons of rabbit meat a year, and 24,000 tons a year at the most brilliant time.
The popular rabbit head mentioned by the subject is also because there was a large-scale meat rabbit slaughterhouse in Quzhou in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, all the meat was used for export to earn foreign exchange, and the remaining sewage was treated separately from rabbit meat. In that era of material poverty, the little meat on the rabbit's head was also something that ordinary people dreamed of. I remember that the price of rabbit heads sold to residents in slaughterhouses should be 30 cents a catty. Some handy housewives spend a lot of time cleaning them and cooking with local cooking methods in Quzhou. Of course, the main taste is spicy, otherwise it is not easy to cover up the special taste of rabbit meat.
Later, in the late 1970s, the slaughterhouse stopped working, and the rabbit head in Quzhou was basically gone. It was not until 1980s that Quzhou recovered most of the frozen rabbit heads from Shandong with the rise of logistics industry. That is, from this period, rabbit head developed from eating and filling hunger to becoming the mainstream snack for supper partners.
Over the past 20 years, with the popularity and spicy taste of Sichuan cuisine, it has been gradually accepted by many people, and Quzhou rabbit head has also become popular in Zhejiang with the so-called "three heads and one palm". It is also because friends in Hangjiahu began to accept this thing, which made the price of rabbit head rise abnormally. It's incredible that a rabbit head has been sold to 12- 15 yuan.
