Vilco, rabbit is not a subject I broach easily, but here goes! Are there
rabbit farms? Like there are beef farms and pork farms? My imagination is
going wild wondering how they keep them -- are they little itty-bitty
rabbits for tenderness, jack-rabbit types for stews, rabbits bred just for
stews, rabbit breast recipes, rabbit leg recipes? Oh my, it's a wonderment.
I recall on the farm six decades ago still vivid in my memory my dad
stripping a rabbit of its skin. Several members of the family ended up in
the hospital; all were sick. I didn't eat the rabbit, but I recall, he was
a big one -- not, of course, a kangaroo size -- tee hee.
I am not a pita type person, but duck, geese and rabbit (and, of course,
horse, squirrels and snake) are not for me. If you are referring to the
Alpes when you say, emilian Apennines, I'll bet just about everything after
a day out in that air tastes wonderful.
