not a new idea either.  When I was ... between 2 and 5 I guess ? (that would
be around 1949-52) ... my father managed a "gentleman's farm" with horses
("Sahar" is the short form of the name of the pretty fellow with me on his
back, about 18 months?, in my Sunday coat, so probably Arabians) and cattle
of some sort (BIG ole breeding bulls) for a couple of years.  one of my
favorite things to do when I got near the barns was to sneak a handful of
little hard curly black bits -- dried beet pulp!  maybe that's where I got
my liking for chewy textures, 8-)!!
