==Description== In German ''Hase'' means "hare" and ''Pfeffer'' means "pepper".<ref>{{cite book | title=South Dakota Conservation Digest | publisher=South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks | volume=29-31 | year=1962 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5pBLAQAAMAAJ&q=hase+pfeffer | page=20 | access-date=January 12, 2017| via= Google Books}}</ref>
In Dutch the term "Hazenpeper" was first attested in 1599 and also mentioned in 1778, both meaning 'a dish made with the meat of a hare'.<ref>{{cite web | url= https://www.etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/hazenpeper | title=Zoekresultaten - Hazenpeper | lang = nl | trans-title=Search results - Hazenpeper | website=Etymologie Bank.nl | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220308171926/https://www.etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/hazenpeper | archive-date= March 8, 2022 | url-status=live }}</ref>
In the Netherlands the dish is often made with the spiced cake called ''ontbijtkoek'' (also referred to as "peperkoek") to give it extra flavour and texture. In Germany ginger cookies called "Pfeffernüsse" are generally used.<ref name= tasteatlas />
