  Yes, it's good. Decades ago many UK butchers displayedÂ
wild game (fur
and feathers still on) hanging outside the shop. Rabbit was very cheap
so I often cooked it. One day as I skinned the rabbit the
thought came
into my head "this looks like a dead baby" (I was pregnant at the time
and didn't buy rabbit again for a while).
  I had a memorable "sweet and sour" rabbit dish last month
in a
Sicilian/Italian restaurant. The rabbit was jointed wrapped inÂ
salt ham
and casseroled with raisins, grapes, olives wine and vinegar. I chose it
because the ingredients sounded so unlikely; it was absolutely
delicious.
I have cooked a wild rabbit. It was a scrawny critter and despite
braising was tough. It was a waste of effort. The rabbit stew I
had in a restaurant was much tastier. I was thinking about
buying a rabbit in the grocery store and cooking it, but those
things are outrageously expensive these days. I see them
occasionally in a nearby grocery, but they run $35 or more, and
big enough for a little more than two servings. I can get rack of
lamb or a couple nice steaks for less.
FWIW I never had rabbit as a kid. My father had been raised on a
rabbit ranch during the depression. He had eaten too many of them
in his youth.
