Bun Morsel Hors d’ouevres

I recommend at LEAST one bun morsel per person for this recipe.

Dsc_0091

First, select Bun Morsels from bushel o’ Buns (can be found at local Farmer’s Markets)

Dsc_0093

Next, soft-kronsche ears to make sure they are good and delectabuhl. Do not bite all the way through

Lastly, roll in flour and let nap.

    *snif* I used to have rabbits as a kid… and I remember picking up the baby rabbits… and next thing you know, the mom ate them all! That’ll traumatize a kid, lemmetellya. That’s when my father thought it might be a good idea to tell me that you shouldn’t touch baby rabbits or their mom will kill them. *snif*
    Maybe this sweet little guy is old enough that she’ll leave him alone, though…? *crosses fingers*

  4. kk3 says:

    Wolfie: That is very disturbing!!!!

    Did anyone notice the teeniest of cotton tails?

  5. Ciepher says:

    On the mummy bunny eating the babies thing, I think it depends on the personality of the rabbit and how accustomed they are to you invading their privacy. They don’t do it out of spite, they do it because they think their babies will die soon, and therefore not be worth the effort of raising.

    On the post: OMG, it’s a mochi bunny!

  6. kk3 says:

    Oh my…just took a second look. THE EARS!!!

  7. Eris says:

    Holy crap! So cute! And not even old enough to disapprove yet!

  8. Theresa says:

    Aaaah! Teeny-tiny-toony! (That’s tinier than teeny-tiny)

  9. Karebear says:

    I believe you are not supposed to touch baby rabbits until their eyes are open. When they are to the point where they open their eyes, they can survive on their own.
    (However, I’m NOT judging or preaching to the hand owner in these photos since I don’t know the story of this baby bun.)

  10. Sunshine0460 says:

    I actually SQUEEEE’d so loud when i saw this teeny-tiny-toony- {LOL, Theresa!}- bun that my chihuahua popped his head out from under his blanket to see what the heck my problem was….
    such a sweet little morsel of cute….
    *SIGH*

  11. chanpon says:

    Look at that little chocolate chip of a bun-bun!! I love him to pieces. Tail is not cotton tail yet; more like cotton swab for now. So at what age does the disapproval start to show, you think – 6 months, 1 year..?

  12. Theresa says:

    Sunshine0460, you really have to thank my mom for that. She taught elementary school for many years, and referred to the kindergarteners and pre-schoolers as “teeny-tiny-toonies.”

    Those hemi-demi-semi buns are
    FRESHER THAN FRESH!!!

  13. Birdcage says:

    Tiny bunnels(tiny bunnels)…And some wine (and some wine)…Make me happy (make me happy)…
    Make me feel fine (make me feel fine)….Tiny bunnels (tiny bunnels)…Make me warm all over….With a feeling that I’m gonna ….Luv you till the end of time…

  14. Theresa says:

    PS, Re the next-to-last hover-text, just how damaging to the moral fabric could those infinitesimal nano-nadlets *be*?

  15. momof2kitties says:

    The claws people, it’s the claws! Their microscopisity (yep, I just made that up) haz kilt me ded!

  16. k. o'dee says:

    Sealed eye capsules!

    Buns are made for soft-kronsching, as long as you don’t mind the fur. My pup likes to soft-kronsche dangling bun toes. The bun would turn the stink-eye of disapproval on him, and he would head tilt like, “But I was just TASTING!”

  17. hon glad says:

    A Bun spun from dreams clouds and Faery dust.

  18. rcg says:

  20. I need the recipe for Nestly BunHouse Cookies STAT!

  21. zeldapie says:

    Thees leetle bun is VERY cronschable!!! Nom nom nom!

    I rehab bunnies (and squirrels), and you CAN pick up wild bunnies without fear of the mother eating them or abandoning them (same with baby birds – you can place them back in a nest if they’ve fallen out). I don’t know about domestic rabbits. Anyway, if you see a nest of bunnies with no mommy around, that’s okay, because she only feeds them (very quickly) in the morning and evening, then goes away so as not to attract predators. If you think they may be orphaned, place some twigs or long grass over the nest, then check it the next morning to see if it’s been disturbed. If it’s apparent that the mommy has not been in the nest, bring the babies to a wildlife rehab center (if you’re fortunate enough to have one near you!).

    We’ll each have to eat one, everybody knows it isn’t nice to split hares.
    Zeldapie, thanks so much for the info. It is very useful around here.
    blair- what is an ortolan?

  26. metsakins says:

    I generally make stuffed mushrooms as Hors d’ouevres, but I’m sure my cats would like this much better.

    *runs and hides*

  27. Catsquatch says:

    Awww….

    What a cute widdle baby bunny!

    Ummm… Ok….
    Now I have a question….
    What do you use to get snorgle off your screen?

  28. NutherDeb says:

    Aacckkkk!!! I almost forgot buns start out sssoooo small and helpless!!! The disapproval should begin within a couple of weeks!
    We recently rescued a litter of 6 slightly bigger buns when their mom made her nest under our bonfire pit. No worries, all 6 were completely unhurt, and after we put them in a container full of hay as near to their scorched out old nest as possible, mom came back at dusk and moved them all to a new, safer home!

  29. “Hello, farmer’s market? I was just calling to see if you had a bucket of buns today. No, buns. No, not sourdough. Bunnies. Rabbits. Hares. Lagomorphs, you know, hoppity hoppity. What, what do you mean? It says CLEARLY on Cute Overload, my source for all information, that you have a whole barrel full of them. What kind of farmer wouldn’t have oodles of bunnies to sell? I mean, those things breed like…I mean, for goodness sake!”

    *Classic* case of Be Careful What You Wish For, B-Serv.

  31. Annie says:

    Hey Teho Has the bun alert at your place turned into a bucket full of buns yet???? Enquiring mind want to know … well okay bunny lovers on CO want to know.

  32. Theo says:

    Annie — I think Mom Rabbit must’ve moved the babies after we spotted them in the compost pen. I’ve only seen one baby rabbit since, and s/he was hiding in the irises behind the garage.

  33. Annie says:

    Teho Well at least they are around somewhere… LOL pretty soon baby bunnies will be sproinging thru your lawn

  34. Herself says:

    (Tapping foot) We *are* going to get follow up pictures, yes? I want to know if those kronchable ears will be lop or aerial.

  35. Theresa says:

    Katrina? Ortolans are teeny little birds that are regarded as a delicacy in Europe. I think they are endangered, so eating them is outlawed in most places. The way they are served, the diner’s head is covered with a cloth that covers the ortolan, too- which supposedly holds and concentrates the scent. The birds are crunched up whole, bones and all.

    There is a scene in the movie “Gigi” where Gigi is learning the proper way to eat an ortolan.

  36. Theresa says:

    PS Waah. I went to the Farmer’s Market on Monday, and saw NO buckets o’ buns. All I got was a husky snoot up my skirt. :P

  37. Fegli says:

    *siiigh* Pure redonk. <3

    I WANT MAH BUKKET O’ BUNS!!!

  40. Gail says:

    Bun-bun is dreaming of all the things which he will disapprove of when he’s old enough to be initiated into the Disapproval Tradition…

  41. dharlan1too says:

    Berthaservant, have you found the farmer’s market that has the buns yet? Hav ya, hav ya??!

  42. Anonymous Coward says:

    Nit-pick: Meg, the proper spelling is “Hors-d’œuvre”. Really.

    Though, “morsel” truly applies to this bun-baby. Whoa, that’s a young one.

  43. miltoncat says:

    First I will keees the bunbun! Then I will snorgle the bunbun! Then I will kees the bunbun some more…

    Redonk Recognition to:
    BIRDCAGE-for the song
    RCG-for the cute checklist
    BERTHASERVANT-for “hoppity
    hoppity”
    THERESA-for husky snoot

  45. Katrina says:

    Theresa- Thank you. Eww re: what people used to do to Otolons. I hope they used to do it anyway.
    Oh, this bun’s cuteness is so disproportionate to his tiiiiiny size. How could one not love that ittlebittle? Anything that small has yo be cute! Well… no, yeah, anything. OK, prove me wrong somebody. No, please don’t, actually. But most things I can think of start out as ittlebittle cute things.

  46. Theresa says:

    Gail– He will certainly want a trip to the Disapproval Hall of Fame:

  47. marie says:

    i’m sure this little guy was born with a disapproving face, but he is either too tie-tie or it is too bright outside for him to show the true colors of his disapproval.

    p.s. ice, ice baby is playing on the radio at work. now my face is also disapproving.

  48. Katrina says:

    Theresa- Nice Hall of Disapproval! You know, I have had Weimeraner snout up my skirt and then a very tall and I do mean tall, Lab once gave me a once-over for the ages from armpits to toes. Never a Husky, I’ll just wait here until a Husky comes around…oh, God, the UCONN mascot is a Husky-oh heck, I’ll just wear pants a lot.
    Oh, heck…I WILL wear pants a lot.
