Rabbit pie is a game pie consisting of rabbit meat in a gravy with other ingredients (typically onions, celery and carrots) enclosed in a pastry crust.[1] Rabbit pie is part of traditional American and English cuisine.[2] It has recently[when?] found renewed popularity.[3]
Wild rabbit, as opposed to farmed, is most often used as it is easily and affordably obtained, and is described as more flavoursome.[4]
Along with rabbit meat, ingredients of the filling of a rabbit pie typically include onions, celery and carrots.[5][6][7] Other ingredients may include prunes,[7][8] bacon[6][7] and cider.[5][6] Australian recipes for rabbit pie sometimes include the food paste Vegemite as an ingredient.[9]
