Explanation:
Well, actually, yes. See the link for an example.

(I once hosted a pig roast for a large crowd. At the end, a guest seized the entire remaining head and gnawed on it, pronouncing it some of the best of the day. To this day, I wish I had a picture.)

You should avoid the picture. My wife is a pescetarian. It's not a nasty picture, but it's probably best viewed by carnivores and omnivores.

Asker: Being a strict vegetarian, I'm a bit wary of taking a look at the links in case I see something nasty that might give me nightmares tonight! It's amazing what a simple menu can do! But I trust your answer :)

Asker: Ok, thanks for the warning :)
