A recipe calls for "front quarters of a hare". I can get a whole hare
in a local deli meat market, but I don't know what parts of the hare
the recipe wants. Is it just a neck and brest (first quarters of
hare's body, right ?), or the culinary phrase "front quarters of a
hare" means something else ? Please help.
Thank you.

Knowing zero about hare, I'd say it would include the front leg, also.
And I wouldn't have thought to include the neck. Breast and front leg,
to my thinking, but I'm only guessing.

A front quarter is part of the back, the foreleg, shoulder, part of the
breast. Imagine a rabbit cut in half just aft of the shoulders, then
that front part is cut in half down the mid line. Each of those halves
would be a fore quarter or front quarter.

That part is also called "forequarters". Here is an informative site.
The meat is that of a rabbit, but its butchering applies equally well to

I'd say ribs and front legs with shoulders.

Hi Victor,

Is not a hare a rabbit?

the front quarters of a rabbit are typically the den and living room. the
kitchen and sleeping rooms are in the back.

They are a case of parallel evolution. They evolved
from unrelated ancestors into a common ecological
niche so from the outside they can be hard to tell
apart.

Thanks to an Iron Chef America episode I finally
got to see rabbits and hares side by side already
skinned. Their meat looks very different. Rabbit
meat is lighter than chciken but slightly pink. Hare
meat is a dark reddish brown. I'm not sure how
different their flavor is.

For folks interested enough in skeleton details to
have a microscope to measure tiny details there are
apparently enough differences in their skeletons to
suggest very different ancestry. Thanks to a display
in some science museum that I visited as a kid ...

Hi Doug,

Thanks for the info... (I had always thought they were the
same critter.)

Methinks when you were born the Easter Bunny kicked you in the head.
Rabbits and Hares are in the same order, Lepus. The rabbits most folks know
and those used for food are hybridized... in nature they hybridized too but
over millions of years, they copulated as Lepus are wont to do, just like
hillybillys, and so many versions emerged but they are all the same genus,
none evolved separately. There are rabbits, hares, jackrabbits, and you, a
jackass.

No, they are different species, different genera even. Hares are
generally quite a bit larger than rabbits. Culinarily, they are even
more different, having little in common. Here is what I posted befo
Hare and rabbit are not even in the same universe. Hare is gamy and
dark. Its one distinctive - and unpleasant - characteristic is the
extreme dryness of the meat. Nothing seems to help, not even if one
prepares it with foie gras. Its taste is all of its own and is very
distinctive indeed. Not a few people dislike it, even if they like
other kinds of game. It is nothing like the relatively bland, but
otherwise very pleasant, somewhat chicken-like rabbit - there is no
resemblance at all.

i suppose that's the reason you give for not being a copulator yourself.

No. They are different species.
