Strip the meat from the bones and put it through a mincer. Cook the eggs and cheese together into a kind of thick omelette then chop finely. Boil and mince the mushrooms. The butter may be softened but it should not melt. Mix the minced hare with the eggs, mushrooms and butter; add the wine, stock, herbs or nutmeg and bake in a greased pate dish in a slow oven (about 300F) for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Serve cold in slices with vinaigrette. The 'cheese' may also be baked in a shortcrust pastry case in a loaf tin and served hot or cold. Halve the quantities if making the cheese with a 2-pound (1 kg) rabbit. From The Food and Cooking of Russia by Lesley Chamberlain; 1982. MC format by Hallie. Untried.
