Rabbit stew

Rabbit stew was a simple but hearty food, especially popular on the road due to the availability of most ingredients, eaten across the Realms from Waterdeep to Sembia and all the way to T'u Lung.

Description
This hot and thick stew was usually cooked with a freshly slaughtered rabbit, available in abundance across Faerûn. The rich gravy was filled with cooked rabbit juices, toasted bread ends, and cornucopia of herbs.

Availability
Rabbit stew was a commonly cooked food along the tradeways of Cormyr, in Espar, and along the King's Road, and travelers of Phlan and the Moonsea.
