Diced The Bunny, Grill'em Good!

I'm not sure about the custom ef eating rabbit in other countries. I'm sure there are enough rabbit-based cuisine in the world, so not to consider rabbit an exotic food.

Well in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta, eating rabbit/hare (or any of the Lagomorpha family for that matters) is not common. Young girls often found the pratice of eating 'cute, fuzzy-wuzzy, wabbit' a barbaric act.

Personaly, i think it's ridiculous. Rabbit is consider Halal and it have meat. Why resist the meat? Why i ask you, why!? (And came the squeaky little voice saying.. but they're so cuute little animals). Bah Humbug!

Last week i eat a particularly delicious Rabbit Satay. This dish is a specialty from East Java. The Bunny meat is treated as any satay meat (cleanly diced) and then it's threaded onto skewers and grilled over a flame.

The satay is served on a bed of a generous amount of shredded cabbage and shallots. Under the haystack-like layer is a pool of soysauce (the sweeteened kind) and some more sliced shallots with several slices of chilli pepper.

Sprinkled on top of the skewed-meat are grains of pepper (as in salt and pepper).

In my opinion, it's pretty delicious. And for just over a dollar, the dish is worth it. Yummy bunny! :p
