Oh yes! I remember all too well a feast many years ago that had raisins in 
EVERYTHING. By the mid-point of the meal, we had gone from joking about 
'rabbit turds' to flicking them at each other with spoons. The unfortunate 
thing is that I don't remember anything else about the feast- it may well 
have been a lovely meal in other respects, but it was only memorable for 
that one thing...
