Rabbit in the Dairy

From the Game Cookbook. Wild rabbit can have a strong taste, and the way the country people overcame this was to soak it in milk.

This is probably the origin of this delicate dish. It is very good if you are feeling poorly or in need of comfort.

2 rabbits, jointed 50g (2oz) bacon rasher, chopped 2 onions, chopped mace or nutmeg 1.2 litres (2 pints) whole milk salt and pepper
