About 45 years ago, while eating in the college dorm cafeteria, I noticed the piece of "chicken" on my plate was a little tougher and drier than most chicken, and the arrangement of the bones did not appear to be consistent with any piece of chicken I had ever seen. I had eaten rabbit a few years earlier, when my uncle was raising them, so I started to suspect the "chicken" was really rabbit. My suspicion was confirmed when I heard a girl shriek rather unhappily from a couple of tables away, "We're eating BUNNIES!" -- Robert Riches spamtrap42@jacob21819.net (Yes, that is one of my email addresses.)
