Rabbit meat is rabbit.
Like chicken meat is chicken and turkey meat is turkey.

The reason deer meat is 'venison', cow meat is 'beef' and pig meat is 'pork' is that those were meats eaten by the higher echelons of society in the early middle ages. The higher echelons of society in early medieval England were Norman (i.e French) and they imported their words for those meats into our language. The meats eaten by the lower orders (the native english) retained their original English names. i.e chicken and rabbit.
Turkey was introduced later and was not of the anglo-french period.

Awwww.... but in my mind I am photoshopping some jackalope antlers on the rabbit.
footfootfoot Friday Jul 4 09:09 AM
That explains where Jackalope come from!

Interestingly - we call turkey, turkey because it came from Turk traders.
The French call it Dinde - as in Poisson D'Inde - literally Indian Chicken - because it was supposed to come from India.
The Dutch call it kalkoen, which is Dutch for Calicut, an Indian port - again where it was supposedly from.
And the Spanich word for turkey is pavo - which was originally a peacock (peacock is now pavo real).
Just a bit of Friday afternoon linguistics for you.
spudcon Friday Jul 4 09:45 AM
I don't care what they call `em, just stuff `em in a blender and cook `em.

And I always thought turkeys were native to North America. What were they doing in Turkey and India? Next are you going to tell us that apple pie is really from Mozambique?

Most of the early American pioneers had limited education, and couldn't spell Mozambique, so they changed it to apple.

I'll bet they're different recipes, though.
bluecuracao Saturday Jul 5 06:24 AM
Well, you're right.
spudcon Saturday Jul 5 08:06 AM
Put deer and rabbit parts in Bass-O-Matic, blend to lumpy mush, por into crock pot with one jar of grape jelly, cook overnight. feed it to the dog.

There was a TV competition last year for The Great British Menu - each dish that won was served at the British Ambassador's Dinner in France.
The main course was a variation on Stargazy Pie made with rabbit and crayfish. So perhaps rabbit & venison are not such strange bedfellows.

So, what a great gesture by you Brits
to name this dish after the new French president.
