Have you ever eaten rabbit?

[KS55]

Often and it’s delicious. Wonderful Spanish, French, Italian, and Greek dishes. Never fully understood why it so fell out of favour in British cuisine.

Mixematosis.

i've had it, and didn't like it, i'm a big meat eater but rabbit isn't for me.

Yes on the final day of a holiday in Kefalonia in 2006.

Rare to find it in the States except at the fanciest of spots, but I did have it a few times; the one I remember most was in New Orleans once and it was very good. Given wide-ranging meat choices on a menu, I would normally opt for lamb or veal.

Mixematosis.

Perhaps, but it also spread across mainland Europe, particularly France and Spain, yet their respective populations still consume rabbit meat.

Rabbit was the traditional meat in paella. I like rabbit and all those oddities that some people won't touch: snails, frog's legs, rook, pigeon breast, jellied eels, cod cheek, pigs trotters. Not eaten insects yet, but I will.
Anyone had bush meat?

Anyone had bush meat?

Most on here I suspect.

Still get it at the butcher’s if you know a good one, go in and ask, or kill it yourself.

Perhaps, but it also spread across mainland Europe, particularly France and Spain, yet their respective populations still consume rabbit meat.

The difference is, when confronted with a small furry animal:
The French go "Get the garlic"
The Spanish go "It will need plenty of pimenton".
The British go "Ahhh".

Apparently, fresh rabbit is seasonal because a rabbit full of baby bunnies is not an attractive prospect.
In the 80's, you could get frozen, filleted, Chinese rabbit which was convenient if not as flavoursome as fresh. It was banned though, because of disease.
I think you can still get it from Frost's in Chorlton.
Do it with smokey bacon, white wine, onions, mushrooms and herbs. Beautiful!
