No, they are different species, different genera even. Hares are
generally quite a bit larger than rabbits. Culinarily, they are even
more different, having little in common. Here is what I posted befo
Hare and rabbit are not even in the same universe. Hare is gamy and
dark. Its one distinctive - and unpleasant - characteristic is the
extreme dryness of the meat. Nothing seems to help, not even if one
prepares it with foie gras. Its taste is all of its own and is very
distinctive indeed. Not a few people dislike it, even if they like
other kinds of game. It is nothing like the relatively bland, but
otherwise very pleasant, somewhat chicken-like rabbit - there is no
resemblance at all.
