I've eaten rabbit my entire life, it's one of my favourite meats. My dad's mate used to go shooting rabbits and pigeons so we had a good supply when we were kids, and the market in our town often has rabbit pie and I buy it when I can.

I made a great venison stew last week, as our local farm shop has good local venison (large herds of Red Deer in the area). I made it with Juniper berries and it turns out that us Britons have been eating venison with Juniper for thousands of yeas as have the Navajo with elk (basically the same thing), two very similar recipes separated by half a world.

Game is the traditional food of our islands, and it's a shame so many people turn their nose up at food their ancestors would have eaten as often as they could.
