Well, we have talked about a number of rabbit dishes here on this list. For
some of these check this file in the FOOD section of my Florilegium:
rabbit-dishes-msg (37K)  4/ 2/99    Period rabbit and hare recipes.

Please post your recipe for this "Haas im Pfeffer". Or even better if you
still have the documentation you wrote up, send it to me for possible
inclusion in the Florilegium in raw form or even better, write an article
on it for the Florilegium. You keep the copyright and I will update it or
remove it upon your request.

Check this file for some of the recipes discussed here, including the 
infamous Ras' testicles recipe:
