    So what about saturday's lunch?

    How come is so difficult to find rabbit in this country?

    I was preparing myself for making a lovely Coniglio alla cacciatora but then I have to think about something else. How about some quails with olives and rosemary? Any other suggestion?
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

      I made that a couple of weeks ago. Delicious.

      Franco, get yourself to the Wimbledon Farmers' Market. You can usually pick up rabbits from one of the meat stalls there. I do.

        Buy the bunny in a pet shop. When home hang it upside down, and perform a karate chop at the base of head. Instant Death. That's what our shopkeeper back in Portugal used to do. Mind you, she (yes, she!) was a bit of a savage.

          Or if that's not close the borough markets will fill your heart with joy in the rabbot dept, and the game dept, and the cheese dept and any other produce you want to mention

            Found a pesant loitering around Ladbrokes, clubbed it, removed the blingshot and wrapped it in Burberry and hung it in the garage for 4 days.

            Managed to avoid plod, it smelt nice and gamey, stewed in some stock and pinot noir and some fava beans....fshhshhhshhhshhh...

              You need to find a butchers that specialise in game. You won't find that in Tesco's.
              Do you think people who pack the confectionary into boxes at fudge making factories tell people what they do for a living?

                Why not ask a local farmer to get you some? Rabbits are a pain in the @rse if you have land. They dig it up, multiply rapidly and convert grass into small round balls of sh1t. If you offer a farmer a few quid he might well go out early in the morning and bag you a few.

                When I lived on a farm we used to catch anothers farmers sheep and sell them back to him as they were always on our land scoffing our grass - meaning we had to pay for more feed for our animals in the winter. When the lambs were about he never got them back, but we ate a sh1t load of lamb. Really little baby lambs taste nice. One Sunday we had a whole one in the middle of the table, complete with 4 little legs sticking up - obviously took its head off as that would be horrible!
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!

                    Or you could have unlimited rabbit for the price of an air rifle and the cost of a trip to your nearest field. My brother lives in Devon and goes out shooting all the time, but you need to avoid the sluggish looking ones - they've probably got mixymctoasties (sic).
