My babysitter raised rabbits and always had an abundance of "ham salad". I know I've eaten plenty. I just don't remember it.

Takes me back. When I was very young in the 1950s, my Mom would get rabbit, but knowing how much I loved bunnies, she always told me it was chicken. I could not understand why there were 4 legs for the chicken. I wasn't too bright, LOL.

Funny about those extra legs, but if reindeer fly, just about anything can happen.

I probably ate rabbit in the 1960s and didn't know what it was. The neighbor raised rabbits. If I was over there playing with the girls around dinnertime, their mom always gave me something to eat.

I had rabbit stew before. My neighborhood has lot of wild rabbits, but they are not my source of rabbit meat.

I believe they would do better today ..
I bet they would. People seem more open to exotic foods today than they were even 10 years ago.

Maybe the Year of the Bunny has come?

They seem to be a healthier meat, less fat, tasty, and environmentally smart to raise compared to cattle...less water, land, cost of feed to raise. And no, I don't work for the Rabbit Lobbying Board, just thinking aloud here...

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_starvation for a discussion of the condition. V. interesting reading.
I'm surprised to hear you say that. Some of the greasiest meals I have ever eaten have been rabbit.

And you can use any nationality of rabbit; no need, e.g., to get a Mexican or Indian rabbit.
