Hmmm. bout all I remember bats delivering is guano. Good for saltpeter 
and fertilizer but not much else. :-)

Bats are native to Europe as well as North America, right? Are there 
any medieval recipes for bats or references to them being eaten?

(who was well aware that fresh seafood is delivered to even Montana by 
air. Was just kidding Maire. Austin is at least three hours from the 
Gulf by truck. Once you get that distance, most fresh seafood probably 
is flown in, and it probably doesn't make much difference how long the 
flight is)
