Murderer!!

It is true, luscious is a murderer of helpless little furry bunny things. Actually it was a hare not a rabbit but heh! In all the years of driving she has managed to avoid killing anything even me! That all changed as she went to work at the restuarant on the hill Saturday night. Evidently she saw a small dark shape at the side of the road and just as she approached it decided to ignore the green cross code and ran out in front of her. There was a dull thud and nothing, she carried on driving as she didn't want to see the carnage she may have caused. Also, had she stopped and seen squashed bunny/hare she would have been sick or fainted! She reported the fact to the chef/owner of the restuarant who questioned her about it and then said" nooo, not a rabbit it must have been a hare" at which he ran to the till got out his car keys and drove off with a manical grin on his face.
He returned some minutes later with a big smile on his face, luscious asked him if he had found it and he said yes, it was a little squashed but it was now in the freezer and would we like to go up and have it for dinner on thursday evening? Evidently hare is a delicacy locally and he was very pleased that she had murdered it as he had been out shooting on the saturday morning and not shot anything!!!!

Whole new meaning to road kill eh?
Bunny burger anyone?

    Lovely! Nothing like a nice bit o' hare. When I worked as an RSPCA Inspector I would often get called to injured hares. Those too damaged to be saved would get a swift karate chop to the back of the neck and then it was home, skinned, and in the freezer. You'll enjoy it. Luscious is no murderer - just an inadvertent provider.

    Thanks for the offer but I think I will stick with the sticky toffee pudding!
