Yikes elaine :eek:

I like rabbit meat, although some people see rabbits more as pets than food, but then, is it any better to kill a lamb, a piglet or a chicken to eat it? Plants are also living creatures, for that matter.

 

Rabbit is available here permanently, at the local markets, butchers and supermarkets. You can buy them ready prepared, ie....skinned and cut up, whole or halved.... OR you can buy them (market) and do it yourself... the only thing I would add to the recipe is strips of bacon ( because I can't get bacon here, I use local cured ham or palma ham...... )........mmmmm ! it's made me hungry.
