This one might shock you as it did me when I first had it at my in-laws. It was roasted rabbit and my ex loved it. It came with all the trimmings, red cabbage with apples, dumplings and brown sauce to add to the calorie count! My first thought, “Yucks!”
It seems this is considered a very festive meal, the rabbit I mean. If you’re thinking of the cute bunnies, well, these are farm raised for the specific purpose of Christmas or New Year’s lunch or dinner. Since that first time, I’ve made rabbit many times. Only because the ex insisted on it and the in-laws loved it. I’m glad those days are over with. My son is not too much into eating bunnies!
Special dish? I made goose last year. It turned out great, stuffed with chestnuts, rice, and chopped dates. It was delicious. This year, Christmas will be on a smaller scale. My son is planning to show up here so it will be his favorites on the menu. Tuna melt and Lasagne. He doesn’t care if it’s Christmas, he just wants to have what he wants.
Looking back over the years, there were many special dishes that made the holidays festive but I can’t remember all of them. I remembered “the rabbit” because it stood out from the rest and it was something unusual.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
