Kilmeny Kail

Kilmeny kail is a traditional dish originating from the Kingdom of Fife. The dish is made with a combination of rabbit, bacon, greens (cabbage or kale), and salt. The rabbit is cleaned and cut into pieces and then simmered with bacon in a big pot for two to three hours.


Once the meat is cooked, cabbage or kale are added to the pot and the dish is simmered for a few more minutes. The rabbit and bacon are removed and served separately. Some of the meat is chopped and used as a garnish for the soup that's seasoned with salt and pepper before serving.


Kilmeny kail is traditionally served with oatcakes.
