In southern Ontario, rabbit is pretty much a niche food for upscale dining. I must admit my taste for braised rabbit increased quite a bit after I started gardening and had to contend with rabbits clearcutting my greens.

impossible to find in ireland? I have shot and eaten rabbit in ireland.

interesting fact: you can starve if your diet only consists of eating rabbit

I was referring to finding it in supermarkets and the likes. They may be there, I couldn't find them.

In the UK they have seen a resurgence (rabbit) in the supermarket last few months.
