Place the rabbit meat into a bowl and squeeze over the lemon juice. Place the rabbit into a food processor with the lemon juice add 1/4tsp salt and black pepper and puree.
Add 1 egg white, then fold in the chilled double cream and leave aside.
Place the pigeon with the shallots, garlic, tomato puree and a little of the liquid into the food processor, add salt and 1 egg white and blend. Add a little cream and the slice of bread.
Place the mixture in a thin layer of caul fat, then place that on top of the cabbage leaf. Roll into a cigar shape, wrap in cling film and foil and steam until cooked - remove foil and cling film. Place a layer of rabbit in the base of the terrine and a little to the side. Insert the cigar of pigeon in the centre then completely cover with the rabbit mixture. Scatter with sprigs of thyme, cover with cling film and a lid and cook for 1-11/2 hours.
