I hadn't heard of him at all when I picked up the book. It looks like both comments you posted came through in the end. Vanessa, it's about time I got my own back. Your blog always makes me hungry.

Now I'm hungry. Wow, the bunny looks delicious, and the mash and veg too. Now I’m hungry.

Ros - is Matthew Drennan the guy who is/was (acting?) editor of Delicious? Interesting. The recipe from him you cooked (with the sloe gin substitution!!) looked divine. I should say that a neighbour years ago gave me some homemade sloe gin; it was v sweet (don't know if it's meant to be!!!) but I said I liked it to be polite. She then presented me with a bottle full, which my friends and I proceeded to drink (we were students, in our defence...). I like rabbit - my grandmother is my rabbit supplier. She gets them from her little brother, who's a gamekeeper... Oh, and I've found your meme. I'm going to tackle it tomorrow! I've never been tagged before, which is making me rather unnecessarily excited! Kathryn Well done Freya..

It tastes so prune-like! I guess that farmed rabbits taste a bit like chicken in the sense that neither they, nor non-free range chicken, taste of much at all. Wild rabbits taste quite different to chicken. They've got a kind of grassy, gamey flavour and can be pretty tough unless you either cut them up into little bits to eat, or braise them slowly.

Actually, it wasn't such a stretch...my husband puts together the oddest things in the kitchen too! Love the idea of the Sloe Gin (you do know that sloes aren't prunes though??)and the fig chutney sounds yummy! I would have gone for mash too. I would always choose mash. I've never eaten rabbit, is it much like chicken? Yay for me for guessing the beans! Actually, it wasn’t such a stretch…my husband puts together the oddest things in the kitchen too!
