In Greece we just stew em whole. Just chuck it in there with onions herbs and spices and whether you choke on a bone is between you and God :). You often gotta watch out for shot too. Delicious!

In the olden days (late 80s, early 90s), Cafe Degas made a gorgeous rabbit pate. Rabbit in New Orleans is a grand tradition.
Love rabbit stew. Grilled rabbit with garlic, lemon and butter is also very tasty.

good times , i has about 10 years old , and my parents raised rabbits ,and i always helped , pulling the skins off (grabed on 1 side and my mother pulled the other side) wenn they are young , you can grilled , and the meat is amazing. Supermarket rabbit is not the same flavor

@Captain MufDyven sounds like a good time to me! I've had similar experiences with my father and grandpa. We would bring back our catch of the day for the family after bonding and having a great time hunting/fishing. Depending on what we caught is what we would prepare and eat later. And boy let me tell you, I've never seen anyone clean rabbit and quail the way my grandma would. She did it so fast making it look so easy while leaving almost no wasted meat on the bones. I miss those days as my grandparents have both passed on and my father is no longer able to get out and hunt like he used to. Me and my nephews are carrying on the legacy and I'm passing down all the knowledge I've gained to the next generation of my family. Still no kids of my own but that's something I intend to change in the future.

I’m guilty of everything mentioned in this comment.
Although the meat is like a chicken, the anatomy of a rabbit is that of a quadruped like any lamb pork or beef. At my shop we used to debone them _whole_ so no cutting into quarters, and then we stuffed them and rolled them in caul before tying them up.

drakar chaser it’s not exactly healthier. I mean it depends on how you look at it. For people who get lowere quality nutrients pork is much better because of the fat and even in well developed countries you still need fat in your diet. But it’s all about moderation.

Lance Lindle Lee Y’all still have swine flu down there? And how is it an alternative to pork? They tase nothing alike and pork is mostly fat, rabbit is a lean meat. Maybe lamb or beef is an alternative but rabbit is as far from pork as you can get. That’s like saying Your using fish as an alternative from beef...
Wow, this place is literally right around the corner from me. I'll have to try theirs and see how mine compares.

I hunt rabbits and eat a lot of them. I have always wanted to make a rabbit "head cheese" or tareen... turean, ... terein.... whatever. rabbit in fat and gelatin. i think it would be a great way to eat it and you guys would be the gentlemen to figure it out! Charcuterie for the win!

I've had rabbit on three separate occasions and I'm just not a fan of it. It's got no meat and it's got a funky taste to me. I'll stick to chicken and pork. If I want something exotic, I'll go get a rack of lamb. Same goes for squirrels, as I'm not a fan of it either.

That looked really good! I live here in the south (Georgia)and my favorite game meat of all time,is rabbit,wild rabbit that is.If you liked the farm raised rabbit,you will live wild rabbit,yes it's smaller with less meat,but so much more flavor.We normally just fry them up with a light coating of flour,salt and pepper,then put just enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet,then fry them.Make some biscuits and some gravy,when you finish frying the meat,and you have a great meal.

Looks yummy. I love rabbit but here in Brazil it is very hard to find in stores and is very expensive. I can only find it in one store that sells exotic meats like wild boar, alligator etc.
The fear of Tularemia is actually the main thing that scares people away from eating rabbit. However most people don't really remember Tularemia so rabbit has gotten relagated to a "well we don't really remember why we don't eat it".

Rabbit is in Paella de Valencia. Rabbit can come out dry. I made a rabbit pie once with a red wine gravy which was unusual because white wine might normally be used.
Yum rabbit. I've never eaten it but I want some.

I remember my first time eating rabbit, just treat the meat with garlic, salt and soy sauce and then barbeque it. Pretty tasty but a bit gamey for my taste.

I just checked and you're correct - cardamom really is expensive here in the UK... but from what I can tell, it's also expensive in the US - harvesting has to be done by hand and it takes two years from planting to form the pods, so it can't be cheap to produce.
