A butcher shop near where I worked in the 70s had a sign offering WABBITS. I wondered how anyone (other than Elmer Fudd) could bring himself to buy one. On the other hand, having had pet rabbits, I am convinced that an ethical vegetarian could eat hasenpfeffer.
Growing up on a farm, we had neighbors a few miles away who raised rabbits as livestock, maybe a dozen at a time, pen and coop and all. Once, while haying for them, I had lunch with them and they served fried rabbit - it was quite tasty.
I hate to say it, but it *was* very much like chicken. Yummy! cheers, ybiC
Barbecued bunny is our traditional Easter dinner. Yeah, it's a bit disturbing, but both kids insisted on it. (Their teachers in preschool and elementary school did make us stop putting the leftovers in their lunch on Monday, though.)
Cosentino's -- near the corner of Union and Bascom; there's also one at Lawrence and Homestead. In the quantities we use on Easter, it has to be special-ordered, but I believe they usually have some in stock.
Almost certainly also available at Draeger's in Menlo Park.
I remember seeing it in the freezer section at Food Lion (I think; one of the ordinary grocery stores) when I was in HS. But that was in NC, and 10 years ago.
