A traditional German stew made with marinated rabbit or hare, cooked with onions, vinegar, and spices until tender.
From German 'Hase' (hare) and 'Pfeffer' (pepper), literally meaning 'hare with pepper.' The dish originates from rural German and European hunting traditions going back centuries.
Hassenpfeffer is German kitchen poetry—it emerged when hunters needed to preserve and flavor tougher game meat, so they marinated it in vinegar and spices. The word itself is still used in English precisely as spoken, showing how some food terms are so perfectly named they never get translated.
