Prelutsky, you’re a funny guy. But your mother wrecked your taste buds forever. Rabbit is like chicken? Dude, you’ve been depriving yourself. Get out of the Valley. All is not In ‘n Out Burger. Start with Lapin a La Dijonnaise from Daniel Boulud. You could go from there to a good Spanish conejo.

As for gefilte fish, in the hands of an expert, like hometown LA chef Evan Kleiman, it’s a delicacy for the Hebrew Kings. If you haven’t, try one of Evan’s Passover Seders at Angeli on Melrose. She’s a master of Italian Jewish cooking, one of the great cuisines.
