Rabbit is good, frog legs are good, snails are overrated. You have to drown them in butter and garlic to make them edible.

yeah I doubt anyone's eating snails 'neat'...

also in France, or at least where I stayed, everyone drank a literal cereal bowl full of coffee every morning, and for breakfast they would tear off bite-size lumps of bread into a bowl, with milk poured over it.

at this same store I got scuttlefish ink, a tiny bag of black truffle potato chips for 7 dollars, chicken liver mousse, sopresseta, aged prosciutto, smoked octopus, and a baguette. It's for my sister and also my brother in law for doing my taxes.

Agree. Over here in Belgium, rabbit is a traditional dish.

When we stayed for a season in southeastern France in 2011 (we told everyone we were going to live in Provence but technically it was a little bit outside Provence) they ate rabbit there a lot and differentiated them from hares, which they also often ate. One takeaway was the overwhelming quantity of garlic people there ate. Garlic with almost everything, and they made a popular sauce that was basically mayonnaise with several cloves of garlic pounded in. The people reeked of garlic.
Secondary observation: I don't know how they seemed as basically sober as they did because they'd drink wine all day long. At least to me it seemed people drank several bottles a piece daily, and I'm not exaggerating.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

Rabbit was popular here in Germany after WW2 when people were struggling. According to more recent statistics, Germans consume the most rabbit meat during Easter.

That's like eating Santa on Christmas, no?

We had rabbit maybe once or twice each year. I remember my grandma comparing rabbit meat to cat. She always said it's like eating cat, but she ate it anyway.


Is it October yet?

It's probably a struggle for them at this shop. Cambridge is an extremely fancy neighborhood, MIT and Harvard are there. Also, the rabbit pate is a loaf the smooth kind of pate is more popular.
