Hare

What is Hare?

Hare is a type of game meat from the European brown hare or the North American snowshoe hare. It is known for its rich, slightly gamey flavor and is typically darker and leaner than domesticated rabbit meat. Hare meat is commonly used in various dishes, including stews and roasts, and is prized in many traditional cuisines for its distinct taste and texture.

Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Hare?

Intolerance to hare meat may stem from several factors. It could be due to a sensitivity to proteins specific to hare, or cross-reactivity with other game meats or even domestic animals. 

Certain individuals might have difficulty digesting the lean and rich nature of hare meat, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. A reaction could also occur if the hare meat was not properly prepared or if it contains traces of preservatives or additives.

What Can I Do About It?

To manage intolerance, consider avoiding hare meat and substituting it with other types of meat that you can tolerate better. Ensure that any game meat you consume is properly prepared and cooked.
