Yes! In year 2000, I dined at the De Roode Leeuw (The Red Lion) and I loved it! It is in the Hotel Amsterdam just off of Dam Square (in Amsterdam).

Unfortunately, the restaurant pages are in Dutch and Babelfish is not much help on the online menu. I do recall having ham and rabbit cooked in a lush unique way. And they serve a genveer (a Dutch precursor to gin) that is much better than the one in the minibar, but it was $25 a shot.

This was the most expensive meal I had that wonderful week in Holland - about $60 not counting that shot of genveer. Probably be $100 now with the fall of the dollar.

But I certain recommend it if you want to sample the best in Dutch food. I wish I could remember more, but, well, it WAS Amsterdam after all! And it has been eight years.

Hotel Amsterdam is nice, also. Expensive but everything in Holland is, especially now.

Still wriggling and trying to crawl away?

Howdy Andre,

I've harvested and eaten a lot of small game. You don't use military rounds hommes! .22 long rifle rounds are the round of choice for squirrel and rabbit. Makes a wound channel no bigger than a soda straw. Preferred weapon is the semi automatic Ruger 10/22, (10 round magazine/.22 caliber)

(Boy, I sure hope I didn't miss a post where someone says they hunt them with M-14's or bazookas or something!)

Squirrels living in oak forests have a smokey whiskey taste from eating acorns. Though I find a dressed squirrel looks a lot more like a former cat than a dressed out rabbit. Sort of puts me off.

(Oh, if you don't hunt, "dressed" means skinned, gutted and cleaned but not sectioned into parts.)
