Spring for Something Different

Let rabbit take center stage on your seasonal menu
When someone asks me what my favorite springtime protein is, I always say rabbit. This usually elicits an “Oh wow, never thought of that.” Or a chuckle and, “You mean the Easter Bunny?”
No, I don’t mean the Easter Bunny—however, there is a reason rabbit is the official mascot for the most sacred of annual holidays for many in this country, a holiday that celebrates rebirth and fertility. To quote food writer and recipe developer Kendra Vaculin: “In Northern Europe, folklore experts note that eating rabbit in the springtime was considered both a celebration of abundance and a way to ward off witches. The simple fact that rabbits proliferate this time of year make them a natural mascot for the season.”
