I am a a chef and after all this I have to say I am inspired to serve rabbit at my restaurant on Easter Sunday.
I haven't decided but am leaning heavily toward a Chocolate Mole sauce and use small chocolate eggs as the garnish...
Inspiration moved me brightly...
also when it come to eating cats I have 2 stories both true...
I grew up hunting every weekend of deer season on my dads friend ranch in the Sierra foothills. My dads friend had friends who ran a couple of Chinese restaurants in Chinatown San Francisco....what ever and I mean whatever we shot or caught fishing would get cooked for dinner...we had frogs, various fish, deer, goat,rattlesnake and one day someone shot a bobcat and that was dinner...It tasted like rabbit... I was the camp boy and my experiences with these chinese chefs was amazing ...they taught me so much about food and different ways of cooking things including hearts, liver, brains etc...when some one shot a buck they took the private parts home and used them as an aprodisiac for the family patriarch... I can't make this up.....
Also when I lived in Paris going to cooking school there were various kinds of shops for differnt meats...at the game places there would be pheasant and ducks hanging and skinned rabbits...the rabbits had to have their feet left on by law to distinguish them from cats.....I guess there were unscroupulous people who would try to sell cat as rabbit....rabbit is truly good eating and is a delicasy....I just wouldn't eat your pet
thanks for the fun thread
