Hare meat sauce is typical of a region where hunting is still very practiced. The hare is a mammal that lives in more or less cultivated lands, deciduous woods, mixed and moors: environments that still characterize the territory of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Its diet is essentially vegetal: fresh and dried herbs, berries, fruits, acorns, seeds.
