May 10 2011Fabulous fact about the eating habits of rabbits May 9th 2011, 17:33 This is a bit off the topic of Chinese food, but after my post about rabbits last week I did a little more research – OK, 'research' may be over-stating it; I looked up my son's Dorling Kindersley Children's Illustrated Encyclopedia to find this in the Rabbits and Hares entry:  "Rabbits and hares have an unusual method of double digestion. They eat food, digest some of it, expel soft droppings, and then eat these to obtain more nutrients. Finally they leave small, hard pellets on the ground." Who knew the diet of rabbits was so interesting?  And then, in the quote, there is the use of that lovely euphemistic expression, to 'expel.' I tell you what, tomorrow, God willing, there will be no crapping, shitting, or even taking a poo; I shall enter the Cistern Chapel and undertake an expulsion.
