We love rabbit. There's a fantastic Keith Floyd recipe of rabbit stewed in elderflower champagne (or cider) which gives very tasty and tender meat. Another goodu'n a mate from Sierra Leonne gave me is rabbit coated in peanut butter(with garlic, lemon juice and crushed chilli's then roasted until the coating is a hard crust. That's a nice one too. Apparently you can buy it from street vendors on every street corner in SL, where they cook it in fire boxes for passers-by.
