Last year, it seemed that duck was the hot, sort-of-exotic ingredient popping up on mainstream restaurant menus (i.e.: those that serve meat, and don't specialize in game). But it appears that duck has fallen out of favor for a critter just as cute: rabbit.
The evidence? Yummy braised rabbit ravioli at Eno -- who, incidentally, dropped pappardelle with duck confit from its lunch menu. Wine and tomato braised rabbit at Table 1280. And a divine pancetta-fried rabbit and wild boar sausage dish at Novita in Garden City, NY (which also has a lovely wine list).
- Anyone else noticing rabbit as the new 'it' ingredient?
- Anyone tried a particularly tasty rabbit dish at a local (to you) restaurant?
- What's your favorite game? Vennison? Caribou? Rabit? Bison?
- What other weird, or new ingredients have you noticed on restaurant menus? (Like fennel pollen.)
