They're pretty interchangeable in recipes - I made Rumania (from _The
Medieval Kitchen_, can't remember the original source) with rabbit instead
of chicken this weekend... Looks wise it was pretty indistinguishable from
the usual chicken, except the sauce turned out browner (which was a good
thing, lavender sauce is always a little... dubious).  Unfortunately, I
didn't get to *eat* any of it, as the plate came back w/ no rabbit.  <sigh>.
And I was looking forward to that, as I've never had rabbit... oh well...
