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!"
