My uncle used to shoot rabbits then bring them round.

Mum would always make scrummy Rabbit Pie with them.

Pie was just: cook the rabbit with in gravy and chunky carrots; line a pie dish with pastry pour the rabbit/gravy/carrot in; put a pie lid on it. Bake for however long pies like that take.

Always served it with boiled spuds. Gorgeous!

I still want to know what a 'roof-rabbit is?

Roof rabbit is a cat. With the head off (and legs I think) you can't tell the difference it's said.

by all accounts its the length aof the leg.. and something to do with the kidneys....

the kidneys in a rabbit in in a line ... and kidneys in other animals are next to each other...

when i told my butcher how i have never eaten rabbit because of this.... the guy in the que waiting said i was wrong...... but the butcher told me i was right.....

not being funny but that is why i havent bought rabbit before, as they allways seem to be from abroad.... and i seen some frozen ones from china....:eek: and no offence but i know in countries like that they eat cats.... and dogs....:eek:

This might be helpful, and will give you an idea of what your bunny should look like. We eat it a lot. I generally stew it long and slow in cider. The addition of lardons and little onions are a good idea, and the mustard sauce that Champys mentions is a French classic well worth trying.

How much is your butcher charging for a rabbit ?

We eat a lot of rabbit, courtesy of DH I like to joint it, brown with roughly chopped onion, garlic, carrot, celery, herbs. Add stock and cook until tender. Serve with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
