Skillet-Stewed Rabbit

[Claire]

I first had rabbit when a friend's French mother made it. We'd gone out to a farm where they raised them for meat. I think my girlfriend was really turned off by meeting her dinner before eating it; but really, that didn't bother me. And it was delicious. I think it was much like this recipe, but I think maybe red wine. I've cooked rabbit often since then, but always the frozen stuff. Also had it in the military in chow halls, where they tried to pass it off as fried chicken. I picked up a leg and said to myself, rabbit. Haha. But I do remember once, when Daddy was stationed outside of Reno, we had jack-rabbit. Oh my dearie me. That stuff was horrid.

That looks so good! I have no access to rabbit. :(

What is jack-rabbit? Is it wild one? If yes, you simply did not have it when it was cooked right. I had a friend, an avid hunter, he would get them all the time. His wife would make a beefstrogonoff like dish out of wild rabbit it was absolutelly amaizing.
