Rabbit stew.

I was in our Greasy Spoon restaurant enjoying a bowl of rabbit stew.

The waiter asked how I liked it. I said that it was pretty good but I thought I detected some other kind of meat also.
He said, "Well, we did add some extra meat as a filler.
Oh? What KIND of meat?

He said, horsemeat. I asked just HOW much horsemeat?

He replied, "50:50"

I said,"Whadda you mean, 50:50" ?

He said, "One horse, one rabbit."
 

We were eating in a rather pretentious restaurant in Asheville, NC once and on the menu was "coffee encrusted Imladris Farms rabbit liver tacos". Where the hell do they come up with these menu items? I mean, do people sit around under the influence of mind-altering drugs and say "Hey, let's think of the weirdest combinations imaginable! Can anyone think of what we can do with coffee and rabbit livers and a bunch of taco shells we have left over from Mexican Night?" As tempted as I was, I didn't order them.
 
I wish I hadn't read this.

I haven't had redbreast yet and the thought of rabbit stew (with or without horsemeat, which I like) has me slavering!

Wonder if you can get tinned rabbit on-line?

This ad is circa 1900. Most of what I found on Google is for pets. ...so watch your step.:)

Ah! Thank you.

All I could find was pet food too.

I guess that means getting the slow cooker out.

I'm not much of a cook but even I can manage one jointed rabbit, one tin of soup, two of water, a pack of prepared veg and leave for five hours!
