Sion · 07-17-2003, 08:49 AM

Jadz, I am sorry to have to inform you of an error in this list.

"The Pennsylvania dish "City Chicken" is actually made of minced rabbit brains"

This is incorrect. I grew up in Western Pennsylvania and can tell you for a fact that "city chicken" is not made of minced rabbit brains but rather is a nugget-like concoction comprised of squirrel balls and cat feces.
