agree  Maureen Millington-Brodie: the mention of "wild" would be superfluous in GB English, I've never seen it on a menu

agree  RegineMac: Agree with your assessment of hare (wild) vs. rabbit (domesticated). Found many roast saddle of hare recipes. The saddle of hare with chocolate sauce and turnips recipes sounded the most revolting...

agree  Etienne Muylle Wallace: indeed 'wild' is unnecessary. It is the famous (and delicious) 'râble de lièvre' in French.
6 hrs

agree  Kim Metzger: Hares have not been domesticated, while rabbits are often kept as house pets. There is a domestic pet known as the "Belgian Hare" but this is a rabbit that has been selectively bred to resemble a hare. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare

back of wild hare


Explanation:
Yet another possible variety.
"Saddle" and "Back" appear to be used as synonyms for what's known as a "Hasenrücken" in German - whether the actual piece cooked is precisely the saddle or not.
As you don't seem to be translating a butcher's or huntsman's manual of regulation cuts, just simply take your own pick: there's "back" or "saddle".
