Community member umalum99 shares her story about a no-take-back Easter experience.
I moved to Denver in 2009. A few months later, some friends stayed with us and, upon returning to their home state of California, they sent us a thank you card and a gift certificate for a French restaurant called Ze Cafe (get it?).
And to drink? Peru!
We made reservations for dinner one night when I didn’t feel like cooking and arrived at the appointed time. One of the items on the menu was a dish starring fresh, hand made wide noodle pasta, broth, and locally raised rabbit. I had never tried rabbit before, heard it tastes like chicken, so I ordered it.
I was astounded at the flavor! The chicken, er…rabbit, seemed to melt in my mouth. I salivated over every bite. The pasta and broth complemented the perfectly cooked meat for one of the best meals I had ever eaten.
finger lickin’ good!
Then, I realized what day it was. It was Easter Sunday. Then, I thought about what I was eating. OMG! I was eating the Easter Bunny! I heard millions of children giving a collective cry as I downed every last bite.
Now, some might think this is a total-take-back. I mean, who wants to be known as the person who feasts on rabbit the one holy day fluffy bunnies are celebrated the world over? For most people, you might be right. For me, this was a no-take-back because, as it turns out, the Easter Bunny was DELICIOUS!
Thanks umalum! And to that I say:
Happy Easter!
