The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook's Recipe for Freshly Snared Barbecued Rabbit + How To Snare A Rabbit
When we talked to author Emily Ansara Baines about her recently published book The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook, we asked her about the joys of sourcing squirrel in Los Angeles and about cooking -- and eating -- muskrat. (She suggests substituting chicken for squirrel, unless you're really into that sort of thing, and admits to no great fondness for muskrat.) You can check out recipes for both in Baines' book, as well as, well, more normal recipes, for things like bread and clover-mint tea and Finnick and Annie's wedding cake. ![]()
But the one we were really interested in was Baines' recipe for freshly snared barbecued rabbit. Why? Maybe because of a certain 13-year-old girl whose interest in camping revolves solely around rabbit snares, though she has yet to catch an actual rabbit. Maybe because you can get rabbit a lot more easily than squirrel or tree rat. Maybe because rabbit is kind of wonderful: leaner than chicken and a whole lot more flavorful. Maybe because some of us have read M.F.K. Fisher's How to Cook a Wolf too many times. Or maybe because Easter is just around the corner.
