You don't even carrot all to find out?

It is stocked in normal supermarkets in France and Switzerland (at least, surely others too).

I had rabbit when I was in France and it was delicious!

My little cousin found this out at the last family gathering as he enthusiastically showed me a picture of his pet rabbits. Growing up on a farm, my first question was if they were pet or food. His face fell and he asked me if people really eat rabbits. Whoops!

And they are delicious.

Believe there are places that raise capybara for food as well.
