Ah, yess. But that doesn't say the eggs came from the Easter
Bunny originally. Only that he had them in his (her?) possession.
That bunny may have purloined them from somewhere else, such as
a chicken. Chickens not being terribly bright, anyway. Afterall
April, at least in the United States, is the time of taxes and
tax refund checks. When you get your money back from the government,
are you saying that that is the government's money that you are
getting?

PS: In a grocery store that markets to the Hispanic community
in town, Fiesta, I found lots of interesting stuff. Including
two different varieties/brands of the sugar cones we've talked
about, sugar cane both fresh and canned (!) and frozen rabbit.

I now have a frozen rabbit and will be looking up period recipes
to select one to try with it. I might also buy some of that raw
sugar cane and see just what it takes to get sugar from it.

The rabbit was $2.49 a pound. Maybe not too bad for a feast item.
