Here in Italy there is rabbit baby food (with a cute bunny on the label) & you can find whole coniglio in almost every butcher case. I rarely cook it because I find it fiddly with lots of little bones, but I do eat it.
& thank you for giving me much to think about around the minerality word
“Eating the Easter bunny” Gosh! 🐰😆 How fun to read and learn. Just halfway through this newsletter and I’m inspired to pair some of these wines and flavours (if I can find them in the UK) with my bunny feasts of the season. I particularly have a dish of butter bean purée with roasted carrots doused in a spiced tahini paste, finished with baked bunny carrot tops. And it’s pouring here on the Sussex coast and across the UK I believe. Nice one Jason.
😊Sherlock .. my best friend in CA used to say that to me .. but as an Englishman always thought it sounded like Shylok in the merchant of Venice and not ... Holmes .. the little misunderstandings of life !
Another great post Jason - especially love the bit on the term 'minerality' - never quite understand why people get so wound up about it when I've read far worse things in too many tasting notes!

What? No mention of Beaujolais? A wonderful spring wine option!
