@ nyrangers: That was my edit and, unfortunately, it gave me no joy.

"especially because it was a big pain in the ass. Deboning rabbits is very tedious. It's like deboning kittens." hugh, did you get joy out of putting that in bold?

Apparently rabbits are like chicken in Italy & in Italy, the chickens are skinny and dried out so you don't want to order the chicken. In Greece, it's similar. It's a cultural thing. If you're going to kill an animal, these guys don't want to waste anything...like people did in olden times - waste not, want not. So if you're a meat eater, this is the eco way to go. Well, that and not eat SO much of it like in old school Chinese cooking where it's used as a condiment, not the major portion of the plate!

I wonder if you get carpal tunnel from grinding rabbits all day.

Nick S, you dingleberry, it is quite apparent that you know nothing about cooking or food. The texture on the side of the sausage is the mark of cheese cloth. This sausage was made by hand. In a kitchen. I'm sure you eat much more tube extruded industrial food made from floor sweepings than you do high quality crafted food such as this. NEXT!

The Aussies would love for you to eat more rabbits. They're drowning in the damn pests. Several hundred million of them overrun the continent.

I live round the corner, and I cannot fucking wait for this place to open.

im all for eating rabbit, but that picture is just unappetizing. the texture on the perimeter makes it look like it was cut out of a tube and not cooked. NEXT!

camera_club, if rabbits were an endangered species, then you might have a point. These rabbits are farmed, though, so the comparison is not a strong one.

I'm all for indulging in some delicacies but eating rabbit seems right up there with slaughtering whales with uhhhhh whatever it is they slaughter whales for

I noticed one of the chefs compared deboning rabbits to deboning kittens and I couldn't help wondering what kind of experience they had with that.

#4, it's entirely possible that the farm you mentioned or other local farms just don't have the means or the supply to regularly furnish Marlowe with what they need for their business. These people have been running restaurants for a while now. I wouldn't jump to assume that they were just lazy.

rabbits are seriously delicious. As a sausage I dunno. But rabbit, just like pigeon, is something most of us Americans are really missing out on.

Rabbit is delicious. And this sausage sounds amazing. Funny they can't find any closer than Quebec, there is a farm on route 9W in Ravena that raises and sells tons of them. Lazy sourcing? Not all farms are on the internets.

What kind of question is that? Rabbits are tasty animals. I don't need to eat them any more than I need to eat duck or lamb, but I certainly do enjoy rabbit when I can get it. I would say rabbit is my favorite rodent but that isn't really true--they are actually lagomorphs. :)
