I went to a local French patisserie (sp?) to get my rich sister and her husband some gifts. One of the things they had there was a pate made from rabbit. Here it is



It has other stuff in it too apparently

QuoteINGREDIENTS: Rabbit, pork shoulder, pork fat, pancetta, rabbit liver, pork liver, salt, pepper, curing salt, cream, eggs, white wine, rum, Madeira, sherry, pâté spice, garlic, shallot, tarragon, parsley, thyme, pistachios, lemon zest, fennel seed, chili flake, wrapped in speck.

What do you think? Would you want some for dinner?

They sell ready-to-cook rabbit at supermarkets here. Rabbit pâté, never had it. I would try it, though.

As for local pâté, nothing beats pork leberkäs.

Is it October yet?

I never had any type of pate, but as for rabbit- of course. I used to go rabbit hunting all the time.

As an aside, my cousins had a pet rabbit when they were young. When it died, my aunt served it to them for dinner--without telling them what they were eating beforehand! Talk about traumatizing.

no cause it's got white wine in it, and I can't have wine.

don't think I've ever eaten rabbit... would probably get my mr. mcgregor on and try it out
of curiosity, if offered.

Theirs nothing wrong with rabbit. I used to season it and put it a pressure cooker, with carrots and onions. It's quite good.
I used to catch snapping turtles crossing the road, and we would butcher those and eat 'em too.
I live waaay out in the boonies. We ate squirrels, frog legs, smelt, snappers, deer, rabbit and LOTS of blue gill and perch too.
In Detroit, they eat muskrat- but I draw the line at that and critters like possum and racoons. No way.

lived in france for a while as a kid but never tried frogs legs.

had snails though... was surprised they literally picked them up off the road after it had been raining. thought it might have been a 'special breed' of edible snail, but no.

they starved the snails for about a week first before eating them though. not bad with garlic sauce. very chewy
