Dear Ladies and Good Gentles All:

Ok let us all step back from the brink.  I am not now nor have I ever
advocated dining on endangered species.  What I inquired about were period
practices which may have persisted to the present in remote regions
external, in the case of Cuba very external, to these United States.
