Aw, how bad could it be? Ducks don't have teeth, right?

that's why some Frenchman invented foie gras, you know -- they ended up with a fat lip and figured out a way to solve the duck problem

This made me want a duck. Now I want a duck, a rabbit, a hedgehog and an alpaca.

I've noticed a curious correlation between cuteness and deliciousness.

squirrel IS pretty tasty.

I wonder if gliders are delicious...

It depends on what you feed them I suppose. If they eat bunny food (lettuce and carrots) I'll bet they are.

They eat glider food. They're gliders.

honey
chicken baby food
sweet potato baby food

Now that's some Christmas dinner. I've heard of the turducken, but the alpaduckbunhog sounds even more appetising. And there'll be plenty left over for sandwiches too.

It hurts so bad precisely because they don't have teeth -- they have to use that much more force to rip their food into shreds, which is what they do instead of chewing it.

Think of a pinch-and-twist, but with a lot of hunger behind it.

I was just reading comments on cuteoverload and someone said, and I quote: "Why do cute things become so delicious???"

My aunt and uncle had a flock of geese on their farm for years. They are better watch dogs than the dogs were. They are also tasty. They had a gander named "Jaws", who would sneak up behind you and bite you in your buttocks or upper thigh area. It hurt, very, very much.
