I actually saw char-grilled whole rabbits go out to the tables at one
feast that I was plating. I mean they were charcoal looking.
Apparently, however, people cut into them and the meat inside was
delicious and
much appreciated. Goat for venison?
One thing I got very tired of back in the mid 1980's was this business of
putting Swan on the menu and then of course serving turkey! The swans in
England at that time were dying of lead poisoning from swallowing lead
fishing weights.
I didn't think it was a very cool joke to list swan over and over as the
great bird
being served. Of course today the swans are dying of Avian flu; how
times change!
