Subject: RE: BS: Endangered Species Menu
I can still remember the shock I experienced the first time I ate in a Florida restaurant and saw fried dolphin on the menu.

Quite some time later someone explained to me that the dolphin (edible) was a true fish and that the charming friendly mammals which we all adore are incorrectly called dolphins and should more correctly be called porpoises.
