Easter Menu

[mm84321]

For those of you celebrating Easter, what will you be serving? I'm in need of some good menu ideas.

I dont know but damn I want rabbit so badly. or lamb. or **** I just really want rabbit.

 

[Kajak]

I want lamb, but apparently its going to be ham.

Lamb sounds good. Perhaps a crown roast. Any good recipes for rabbit? I have yet to try it. edit: Mods, please move this thread to Social Life, Food & Drink, Travel. Thanks.

I like rabbit braised with mustard, shallots, white wine, and thyme. With just a little cream. Lots of mustard.

That sounds delicious.

The second recipe in this article gives a good idea of what I'm talking about:

I seem to recall the Patricia Wells recipe calling for a full cup of mustard, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks for the link; that recipe looks just like something I'd enjoy. As it will be my first time cooking rabbit, is there anything in particular I should be concerned with? I just have to now actually locate a rabbit to cook; I'll check the Farmers' markets this week.

All I have to do is show up. Whatever is being served will be good, I hope.

Would it be a clichÃ

to serve carrots with a rabbit?

If any of you planning on serving rabbit have a child attending, then SHAME ON YOU.

Why, because it might upset the children if they're eating Bugs Bunny? I suppose one should not serve venison to a child, because they might be eating Bambi? I often see children eating rabbit and they think nothing of it. It's just a source of meat, like they eat sheep, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, camels, etc.
