Love the bunny cake! Wishing you and yours a very happy Easter!
Meat rabbits are on my list of things to raise once I move onto my farm.
I’d love to test out different diets and see which one results in the best flavor. There were a couple of times I caught a rabbit in my parents’ backyard, and the meat had this natural sweet flavor, like there was a ton of sugar in the marinade, even though there wasn’t any marinading involved. I would love to know what made that taste, so I can replicate it. I know it wasn’t the rabbit itself, because rabbit meat from the store didn’t have that.
I have a bunch of animal nutrition textbooks to help with the diet plans.
Ever see “Night of the Lepus”?
Adorable!
Split pea and ham, the secret ingredient is dry sherry. :)
Beats the h*** out of lentils!
mm mm mmmmm
I don’t know much about livestock diet; but I wonder if it could have to do with the time of year you caught the wild ones and what they’d been feeding on.
That’s what I like about getting the ham with the bone in it. Makes the BEST split pea soup!
yuppers
That ham bone makes excellent red, pinto or navy bean soups, also.
Happy Easter to you, dear Liz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My grandmother used to make wonderful navy bean soup whenever we had a ham bone left over. My husband makes a great one with hamhocks.
No bunnies on the menu as they have been running across our back yard, being chased by our Swedish Vallhunds. So far, the bunnies have made it to the other side.
This is a variation of Chicken Marbella. We had this for dinner last night. I cut down the brown sugar to about 1 tbsp. Prunes are sweet enough for me.

I served it with Yotam Ottolenghi’s Baked Rice, with fresh asparagus on the side.
