That can vary from area to area.  Obviously, what one
area considers "normal" food, another might consider
"specialty" food.

Regarding rabbit.  My local stores don't carry rabbit,
but if I went to the next city south of my hometown,
which is primarily Hispanic, I find rabbit offered in
their regular meat section; no special order required.
In the same grocery chains that I have in my hometown.
The same if I went to the next city west of here,
which is primarily Asian.  From what I know, the
market chains allow the individual store managers
latitude to provide, at reasonable cost, foods that
the customers demand.  Since my hometown is primarily
white, they don't stock rabbit.  Which I find ironic
in some respects because my great-uncle was one of the
founding fathers of my hometown and he used to raise
rabbits here for food and fur, from 1920 until 1952.
 
There used to be a wonderful restaurant in Pasadena,
called Brotherton's Farmhouse.  They had rabbit as a
regular item on their menu.  Unfortunately, they
closed their doors 10 years ago.  Now, I can only find
rabbit in German restaurants; i.e. hasenpfeffer.
