Thanks, Paul. I’m glad you all enjoyed it. I think there’s a fair amount of room for tweaking in that recipe, there’s no fun in following things exactly is there?!

I made this pie a couple of days ago. I followed the recipe pretty closely (unusual for me). Tonight we shared it with my son and his girlfriend … there were no leftovers! A little steamed asparagus on the side was perfect. I will make this again … it is one damn fine pie!

I often forget to use the pie funnel but it really does work, particularly as our pie dish is huge and there’s usually not enough filling.

The onion seeds were a bit of an afterthought really, I think they look pretty but I don’t think they added too much flavour.

I know what you mean about Peter Rabbit actually! I’ve not had hare before, not sure if I’ve even seen it in the shops. I’ll look out for it though.

It always amuses me to think of rabbit pie. I'm not sure why. I think it's a Peter Rabbit kind of thing. I have had rabbit several times and I've never been wowed by it- I prefer hare's more gamey flavour- but this looks fabulous. I will definitely try this if I can get my hands on some rabbit.

I love the look of the black onion seeds and I generally love rabbit pie. I made it myself recently but the camera klonked out. Ros’s last blog post..I Can’t Believe It

This pie looks delicious. I particularly love the little pie bird though. So kitsch but cute! Gourmet Chick’s last blog post..The Queen's Head (Gourmet Chick in England)

Kerri didn’t mention in the recipe the black onion seeds that she sprinkled on top of the pie (am editing it now…). It gave it a subtle spiciness which went well with the filling and made the crust taste a little like naan bread by association.

There's been a lot of rabbit in the blogosphere recently, great minds think alike! Great pictures. I really must invest in one of those pie thingymajigs, as my pastry tend to sink in the middle a lot. Lizzie’s last blog post..Intermission
