They are serving rabbit, down the street, for Valentine's Day...
Very well prepared, I am sure...
I am not ordering it. My reason?
My mother, back when she could recall her youth, pointed out to me, in no uncertain terms:
"Squirrel is a lot better than rabbit."
She had been in a position to know.
Bear in mind I am not suggesting that one ought to eat squirrel for Valentine's Day, were one even able to find such a thing.
I am merely recounting her assessment of relative merits of those two animals, and setting them on a scale, of sorts.
That culinary admonition has stuck.
I recommend roast quail in a French cream sauce made with a roux and milk, not cream, and mushrooms. Root vegetables or risotto.
