The Easter Bunny (or Easter Hare) is a character depicted as an anthropomorphic rabbit. In legend, the creature brings baskets filled with colored eggs, candy and toys to the homes of children on the night before Easter.

The Easter Bunny will either put the baskets in a designated place or hide them somewhere in the house for the children to find when they wake up in the morning.

Bunny waitress

The most famous Bunny is a waitress at the Playboy Club. The Playboy Clubs were originally open from 1960 to 1988. The Club re-opened in one location in The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas in 2006. Bunnies wore a costume called a “bunny suit” inspired by the tuxedo-wearing Playboy rabbit mascot, consisting of a corset, bunny ears, a collar, cuffs and a fluffy cottontail.

To become a Bunny women were first carefully chosen and selected from auditions. Then they underwent thorough and strict training before officially becoming a Bunny.

Traditional rabbit stew

Carefully clean the rabbit. Cut it into small pieces. Put the liver aside. Drain it well and pat it dry with paper towels. Put the pieces of rabbit in a wide pan with two garlic cloves and a bundle of rosemary tied with a string to keep the leaves together.

Heat it over a very low flame to evaporate all of the water. Drain the bottom of the pot. When the meat is dry, add a mixture of the lard, the onion, the liver, a little parsley and some more rosemary. Also add the olive oil. Let it cook until the rabbit gets a nice golden brown color, then add a cup of white wine.

When the wine has evaporated, add salt, pepper and the paste dissolved in a cup of water. Let it cook slowly for at least an hour. A great sauce will form on the bottom of the pan to top your homemade tagliatelle.

You can serve the rabbit as a main course and you can served with creme polenta.
