It's truly weird...all of a sudden all sorts of things are showing up here that
I've seen done for years that are in one way or another potentially illegal.
First, there was the business of kids in the kitchen...now you're telling me
that if someone donates a deer to us for use at an event, we can't use it? I
suspect that what the deal here is that possibly this might apply to
restaurants or other "for profit" situations. Ours is non-profit, so I suspect
that this would not apply. Whatever. We here in Atlantia serve deer whenever
we can get our "grubby little mitts" on it. This includes several years at one
event held at a Boy Scout camp where the chief ranger not only donated a deer
to our feast, but cooked it himself...mmmmmmm...it was great!
