We too raised rabbits for the meat when I was young. That didn’t stop us kids from giving them names and playing with them. Though they were really cute as babies them there wabbits do bite. Ouch. I was the child that at times watched as my dad did the sad deed. Call me curious I guess. I was never thrilled when we had rabbit for dinner, can’t say I didn’t like it but just couldn’t get past the fact that it was in a cage in the backyard early in the day. I know you ask, you can watch their demise but not eat them?? Go figure. I’m not into eating venison, duck, pheasant, elk, etc. either. No problems with a rib eye though. Is therapy needed?

I’m not sure I’ll make the dish personally but I will try and remember to order when I’m in Italy next.

Ahh, rabbit a controversial subject even among meat eaters. I know they are cute and fluffy but to me this sounds so delicious, I would walk over broken glass to get a taste.

I grew up in rural Norfolk in the UK and my father often brought rabbits home for the family to eat, as a child I can remember helping him to “take the rabbit’s jacket off”, although that seems kind of strange now. We all loved rabbit and my granny made the best rabbit pie ever which we always had on Christmas eve. Well done P for top rabbit rearing practices, I’m on my way over for supper!

Aw, the rabbit’s jacket…when you grow up with it, it definitely is different. I hope you have that recipe for Granny’s rabbit pie! Yum

whenever we would visit my family as a child, they would always trick my dad into eating rabbit by telling him it was chicken. and he would always get 3/4 of the way through the meal before realizing, hey, chicken bones don't look like this. heh. michelle @ TNS's last blog post..This post is either about blondies or bipolar disorder. The truth is in the bones, they say. Or at least I do. Now.

Oh,this looks fabulous! If we ever catch any of the ~~bandits~~ rabbits currently marauding through our blueberries and asparagus, I would be only too happy to help one of them end up in this dish! anno's last blog post..So, how would YOU take this? Oh the poor bandits! Not good manners to steal blueberries and asparagus though....

Here in Toronto, Rabbit is a little difficult to get but whenever I find it I buy it. We love it and I cook it almost the same way you do. It's delicious...ciao rositta's last blog post..Mount Indefatigable Can't say I saw it much in central PA either Rositta, but in Philly, in the Italian market, well....

Thanks so much for posting this recipe! I grew up eating rabbit. My dad raised them for food too!! Anyway, i have never ventured to make it on my own but this recipe looks easy and good.

This recipe is so simple. The only thing you may have to adjust for is salt really–those potatoes can really suck it in

I actually like rabbit…and I know they eat a lot of it in Malta, where my fathers family came from.

Just have to persuade my family to eat it !!!
