Hmmmm - have you met their deer?
Phoenix, You're just not as 'adventurous' as some of us!

fuit bat is a delicacy here, not too many around though. most live in anderson air force base, and are protected. the outer islands all the way down to palau have fruit bats. don't know why anyone would want to eat a flying rat. but to each their own...
fruit bats go all the way down to Oz, don't they?
Yes, they do have some big uns.

I thought we were talking about bats?
I was responding to the very original question. I can't bother with the 43+ pages of drivel you people have come up with in my absence! I'm an important person!
(Quick story: I used to live up the street from a Ukrainian grocery. English was not the dominant language on my block. Even Spanish was more common, though nowhere near as popular as the various eastern European languages spoken there. Anyway, one day I'm in this grocery, and there's a typically slow exchange going on at the register. These two obviously underage Polish or Ukrainian kids are at the register nervously trying to buy beer. An ancient woman behind the counter is simultaneously struggling with the fake i.d. and with the cash register. In front of me in line, and a couple of places back from the register, is an old Mexican guy (about 60 or 70, and his nationality is somewhat relevant, if only because his line in this story is funnier the way he said it, somehow) who is very, very stoned and wants to buy a snack. I'm new to the neighborhood, have just got off work, and am feeling like an ass in my blue oxford shirt and tie -- not that that is in any way relevant.
Anyway, the cashier finally figures out the register and decides not to quibble with the i.d., and now the kid can't figure out the right change to give the woman for the beer. Increasingly impatient, the guy in front of me finally shouts, "Hey, Skippy, hurry up. I've got a big project." Beat. "I've gotta eat a donut."
Hmmm. Crappy story. Works better in person, I promise.)
"He pulls up to his fruit-packing shed. Inside, van Deusen is asked for some favorite recipes. He doesn't have any cherry recipes, but he does pull out this recipe for Groundhog Stew, also known as "Woodchuck Soup," borrowed from the Pennsylvania Game Cookbook.
Mmmm ... tastes like chicken."

I'm not even gonna look at that recipe....
chickens round the world are probably asking. "if everything tastes like chicken why the hell do you need us"

Drivel are you nuts this is really important digression here, well not really, we have a topic and have stayed very close to it. As close as can be expected. We read all the posts every time we post, especially me for instance.
Anybody got a spare stick I can throw for patiodog to chase?
