It's one of those slow cooked meats, which doesn't always lend itself to being good diet food. Very nice to eat though, I have it at least a couple of times a year. Been a while since I killed and prepared my own though.

Maybe the legs are so tough because we don't cook it slow. Apparently stew can also be good, so you can chuck a rabbit in a crock pot for the day and have dinner when you get back. I haven't had a good rabbit stew, though.

My mother used to jug rabbit with cider when I was small, and school used to serve a rabbit stew sometimes. But these dishes vanished when the UK population was almost wiped out by myxomatosis in 1954-5 (over 95% of rabbits died), and have not reappeared significantly. I've had rabbit only twice since then, I think - possibly only once.
Nodaisho:
We have a lot of rabbits out here. In the city, you tend not to see them until night falls, but out in the country you can see them pretty often.
I've heard squirrel can also be pretty good, my grandmother loves Brunswick stew, but I've never tried it. Those would be a lot easier to find in the city than rabbits.

My dad would make rabbit occasionally when I was young. I have made it once. Also Hudda made rabbit when we visited.

Apparently rabbit is so low in fat that you can starve if it is your primary food.

I should clarify - rabbits have reappeared in the UK, but the eating of rabbit has pretty much not.
