La Marinade - Kemp Town

[CHAPPERS]

Has anyone been to this EXCELLENT little resteraunt on Georges Road, Kemp Town? I went there on saturday night and it is by far the best place I have eaten in this town with excellent service to boot.

To start perfectly cooked baby squid which was incredibly tasty followed by rabbit with chilli mash. I nearly creamed my pants went i took and bite of the little bunny with a fork full of the mash which packed a punch but wasn't too overpowering at all.

The caramel brownie with homemade guava ice cream was a fantastic finish to a wonderful dining experience.

If you haven't been, go. You won't regret it.

You ate RABBIT?

You ate RABBIT?

 

[m20gull]

Why not? It's excellent meat, low in fat and cholesterol and very tasty.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Rabbit is very tasty indeed.

 

[m20gull]

One of my faves is an old Sussex dish - a suet pudding stuffed with diced rabbit (preferably wild), onions and fresh thyme.

Eating rabbit is grim man

Why?

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Cos they're so cute and fluffy

 

[Man of Harveys]

Rabbit is lovely. One day I'd like to eat at a restaurant where they serve it with a fluffy little tail on the side, as a kind of decorative flourish. Yum.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Wild rabbits aren't. Plus they're well tender because they are running so much. Try it, you'll like it.

I'm a veggie, nee chance

Pretty reasonable i thought. 7 of us including wine and a few beers can to 280 notes. so just over 300 including tip.

All the waiters are chefs too so they can tell you all about the food. Top bombing.

rabbit is not nice.

where i work they are running around in front of my window.

saw one last week having a fit in the car park obviously dying. went out a few hours later and it was dead stiff as a board someone had to pick himup and throw him in the bushes. i certainly wouldn't eat wild rabbit stuff they pick up

 

[CHAPPERS]

The chef at the greys (i used to work there) once brought back a pheasant he'd hit on his scooter. Luckily he'd only run the head over so the meat was fine.

No prizes for guessing what we ate for lunch that day.

mmmmmm.

 

[London Calling]

When the Rabbits get up and revolt You're going to be at the top of their hit list.
